And that's why there is so much hate for our fan base

Pukes are the only ones who abnormally 'hate' our fan base, all others

Well, the LDS UNLV fans I know are very similar to Utes, IMO

Jericho

No. To hope the school you attend is victories in a football match with BYU

Just saying I see it, not that it is right. I find it strange.

They key your cars and stand supportively as people use anti Mormon crap to hate

travelcoug

They are on par with utes, yes

I have an inlaw who hates BYU with a passion

Most of the people I know with a strong dislike for BYU are UNLV fans

And that's what I find strange.

Not true, I work at the church in SLC, I know many many ALUF

just because you are a stake president doesn't mean that you are anything more

My guess he is not a "good active LDS Member". Sounds like a jack yewt

To be fair, we all have our issues. The atonement is not for the perfect

I never said anything about perfection. BUt would you agree there is an array

The guy referenced by the OP has a set of issues much bigger than

I think we agree.

Huh, sounds like he just hates the church.

It usually is because they didn't get accepted

Makes complete sense to me, I was forced to eat carrots as a kid so now I hate

Sometimes I hate BYU and I'm a huge fan

LDS hate accounts for a sizeable chunk of BYU hate

Yeah, I know a few like that too. I've had discussions with them about how they

Huge difference between 'feeling forced to root for' and a vicious hatred.

Unfortunately the "Ute Family Tradition" is growing rapidly in Salt Lake......

Bonoman

10/8/15 10:32am

Funny how that trend parallels a surging anti-LDS and liberal progressive trend

Station42

10/8/15 10:53am

the political facts are strongly related

traveller 1860

10/8/15 10:56am

Honestly, outside SLC anyway, it has more to do with fewer and fewer locals

mikeynolikey

10/8/15 12:33pm

The progressive trend is a factor, but it doesn't explain the surge in LDS Utah

Bonoman

10/8/15 2:19pm

See mikeynolikey's post above, less percentage of locals going to BYU

solid members of the church/hate BYU = schizophrenia

Some of it is irrational, but I think it's possible to dislike aspects of the

I know a guy who switched to being a Ute fan because BYU wouldn't hire him.

I think there is a certain segment of the LDS population that views BYU.......

Glad I dont live in Utah. In California its a different experience

How can a 19 year old be foreced to do anything? He was an adult

pappabear246

This was my thought as well..

In a lot of families, it can be more complicated

pressure is a good reason to cave and not be an adult?
