Utes learning a lesson in humility? Embarrassed for their behavior?

BYU-Laie

I would hope this is the case but I honestly don’t have any “neutral”

Anywhere with a lot of members. I live in Hawaii

I’m in Rexburg. Lots of members and fans. Not as many Ute fans here...

Refugee

I agree. Seems like the majority of ute fans have no self awareness when it comes to their behavior in the rivalry.

The BYU fan was a twit - but didn't throw any punches.

His motivation is somewhat irrelevant once he tackles someone

I thought that's what I was saying. But I probably wasn't clear.

Didn't that cheerleader turn out to be a BYU reject who had an axe to grind?

Actually the question need not be asked. The fact is he was. And the guy who jumped was mentally impaired.

I’ve never heard that he was mentally impaired. Any sources?

BYU-Laie

Yes me. I was right behind the goal post in that section. I could see his face. I've worked with enough kids over

He was a student at BYU at the time of the incident.

Worked at the mental hospital in SE Provo for five years. Call it a misdiagnosis but he looked DS to me

Just watched the video of the incident and they said he was not a BYU student

Let's all agree to be friends and agree that the guy was wrong to jump from the stands and get himself pummeled.

In my experience, people with Down syndrome are not aggressive or violent at all

I don't recall apologizing for him. However I was appalled by the other guy's response. Was that warranted?

No, I guess you're not apologizing for him...you're just not so subtly implying

That's what I remember.

I know our fan was out of line, but those Utah cheerleaders were terrible.

9/20/21 11:14am

It's not "unsportsmanlike" to run around with a flag after your team scores.

Eddie

9/20/21 11:45am

And the cheerleader could probably have pressed charges against the BYU fan.

I never said it was unsportsmanlike to wave your flag around after you score.

Yep. They taunted the crowd. Cheerleaders don't usually do that. Classy ones at least. Which brings us back to utes.
