There are a lot of exaggerations by our fans. I have been going to games since 1984. I even fly home for the annual game (most years). I have seen a few classless acts (even some from our fans), but it is not a rampant as the numbers would indicate.
Utah has its bad fans that fit the stereotype, but so do we that fit our stereotype. In general both sets of fans are fine people. I do find it funny that we spend so much time hating on the U but 50%+ of their fans are LDS (I don't have a real number, but it is high). Living on the east coast many colleagues and friends assume LDS folks support Utah given the number of members on the team.
Many Utes are not my favorites to hang around, but in general they are fine. This is really funny....
