Which happens to have the largest(or close to) LDS fanbase and student body next to BYU schools. It is also a state school in the same city as the home base of the LDS church. Also happens to be founded by a former Pres of the LDS church and attended by some very prominent LDS people and Presidents of the church.
I'm not LDS and don't hate the church(just BYU). But I don't see how you can hate Utah so much and yet you can't see why someone would hate you back. BYU isn't the church and the church isn't BYU.
