The antagonists who are taking pictures of themselves? And there's a lot more
to it than just smartphones:








And look, I'm not saying that bad stuff doesn't happen at RES, I'm sure it does occasionally, but I've been going to games for years and have never seen anything other than some very good-natured ribbing back and forth. There was one exception at a USC game a few years ago where there was a Ute fan (probably a student) who was plastered and loud, just yelling like mad and swearing a lot. He was in a section full of Ute fans, and when he didn't shut up after the fans had asked him to, security was alerted by other Ute fans and he was kicked out. And I've had people drop the F bomb at me at BYU games for cheering for the Utes, but that's not really all that unexpected when you're celebrating in hostile territory, and it is definitely a small minority of fans there.

I'm not excusing any of this, just pointing out that it's kind of silly to act like RES is some insane den of horrible and blasphemous acts when there is really no photographic or video evidence. If it were really as prevalent as some people make it out to be (like people who claim that most Utah fans only want to bad mouth BYU and the LDS church or some silly exaggeration like that) then there would be some actual evidence of this. What's much more likely is that there are some bad eggs out there and there have been some bad experiences, but it's a pretty small minority.
