Just once, I’d like to have even close to the experience some of you say you had. It might help me

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 12:31pm

You evidently haven't been to enough games up at RES or the Huntsman Center then

ManicBlue

12/10/19 12:37pm

Been to just about all of them actually. Not sure the last BYU - Utah game I missed. I didn’t go to

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 12:42pm

and wore BYU gear? Now, that's a story I don't believe sorry.

ManicBlue

12/10/19 12:44pm

Every single time. I’ve never not worn my BYU shirt and hat to a BYU - Utah game.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 12:51pm

were you cheering loud? Ute fans don't like that apparently.

BountifulCoug5

12/10/19 1:47pm

Ha. I was doing normal fan stuff so not sure what to say. I just haven't had a bad experience in many years of

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 2:19pm

How big are you and who goes with you?

Soupie

12/10/19 3:15pm

I guess that could be it. Maybe because I'm not wimpy looking. Could be that.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 3:16pm

Mission accomplished!

Cougar TD

12/10/19 3:31pm

Take a walk through the tailgating area.. that will fix it

Bleeding Blue

12/10/19 4:19pm

Done it. I get booed every time.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 4:22pm

You are so cool!

Cougar TD

12/10/19 4:24pm

Thanks, man. I don't know you but you seem pretty cool too.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 4:28pm

It's not unusual, it's been my experience too.

superdoo

12/11/19 3:43am

Same here. I have never had a negative experience at a college football game.

Everyman

12/10/19 12:37pm

I grew up a few miles south of the University of Utah. Went to numerous games, both football and basketball

TheLoneCougar

12/10/19 12:42pm

I've seen some pretty pathetic stuff at RES...

CoachSpeak

12/10/19 12:57pm

I haven’t either but I’m also not someone most would look to do those things to

USMCdad

12/10/19 1:22pm

How often do you go to games at RES wearing opposing team colors?

crazY

12/10/19 1:30pm

Every BYU - Utah game.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 1:33pm

No, I meant opposing Utah.

crazY

12/10/19 3:12pm

For me I usually have good experiences, but over 40 years of games and living

Cougar TD

12/10/19 1:40pm

Be sure to ask Amanda Dickson what she and her BYU friends did.

rocker

12/10/19 3:46pm

or Jeff Benedict. Not an article, but in an interview he described an experiment

NewMexiCoug

12/10/19 4:19pm

Yep. Well documented but, for various reasons, some just want to discredit/

rocker

12/10/19 4:27pm

I'm going to go ahead and say that you don't strike me as the type that would

UberDeek

12/10/19 3:53pm

Odd comment.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 3:57pm

You just seem like more of a utah fan than BYU fan to me...

UberDeek

12/10/19 4:05pm

hmmm. Nope. I'm a Y fan.

The Dude Abides

12/10/19 4:13pm

I did go to the Huntsman Center for a BYU-Utah basketball game a few years back. Got yelled at by a girl before the game

SuperTank

12/10/19 4:34pm

Sounds harrowing for sure...

CoachSpeak

12/10/19 4:54pm

you got sucker punched in a crowd?

BlueFrog

12/10/19 12:31pm

Yep. Back of the head walking with my kids leaving the game at rice Eccles.

IceBlue

12/10/19 12:34pm

it bet it was one of the 12 yr old girls that was behind you.

BlueFrog

12/10/19 12:53pm

Lol. Very well could have been 🙂

IceBlue

12/10/19 6:01pm

Wow this is a new one.

Kauai

12/10/19 12:53pm

I've heard this one before, but not from this guy. Pretty sure it was CB

MatthiasPhunkHausen

12/10/19 3:04pm

probably not in your case but in 98% of the other cases like these, i'm pretty sure the victim entices it

BlueFrog

12/10/19 12:39pm

98% is waaay too high

ManicBlue

12/10/19 12:41pm

95%

DieHarder

12/10/19 12:46pm

No way, you are giving too much credit to the anti BYU fans

Cougar TD

12/10/19 1:43pm

and probably enjoyed it, am I right?

rocker

12/10/19 3:58pm

RE: So I'll be that guy

DieHarder

12/10/19 12:47pm

I had snowballs and cigarette butts thrown at me in 1992 at Utah.

IceCreamButt

12/10/19 1:14pm

Same with all the yewt-loving BYU fans

vegas guey

12/10/19 1:37pm

I’ve been (technically) assaulted twice.

byulover

12/10/19 1:31pm

I’ve been to games at both stadiums all through the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s

USMCdad

12/10/19 1:35pm

you lost me at both sides. Yes there are dumb BYU fans, but it

BountifulCoug5

12/10/19 1:48pm

I still don't know why people would pay to go to a Ute bowl game.

ochobeeguy

12/10/19 4:42pm

2 years ago I literally saw a BYU fan get full on shoved by a ute for no reason.

BountifulCoug5

12/10/19 1:48pm

Ute fans throwing lemons...I think there's a metaphor in there...

Middy

12/10/19 2:22pm

When Ute fans throw lemons, BYU fans throw lemonade.

ochobeeguy

12/10/19 4:43pm

For clarification, when you say smug haters who are you referring to exactly?

DJROSS

12/10/19 2:36pm

My experience at rice Eccles stadium

1CougFan

12/10/19 3:30pm

Been to 2 games 1@LES in ute section 1@RES in BYU section.

whiteninja

I’m with this guy! He should be in my circle of friends

Tuskaloosa Cougar

12/10/19 4:31pm

Seems like size (big dudes) are immune from the nasty behavior

BlueSioux

12/10/19 5:11pm

Some dude is going to have some questions for you . . .

rocker

12/10/19 5:23pm

FTR I'm average height guy. Cheered like crazy

IceBlue

12/10/19 5:45pm

They don't sell ice balls at RES

jkccoug

12/10/19 5:34pm

I always find it funny that some of you think I give

IceBlue

12/10/19 5:58pm

^^^^ this. Why feed the arrogance of Utah fans? A loss humbles them & I'm ALL..

BleedCougarBlue2

12/10/19 6:03pm

Been to nearly every road game. Have never had a bad experience.

mulletino

12/10/19 10:11pm

None of those things actually happened

StapleGun

12/10/19 11:41pm

LOL. My FIL got beer poured on him at RES. That didn't happen either, right?

trom2foot3

12/10/19 11:53pm

Did you bring the cops over?

Solomon Levi

12/11/19 8:48am

No. He's too nice to do that

trom2foot3

12/11/19 8:52am

A guy pours beer and he is still nice about it???

Solomon Levi

12/11/19 2:56pm

He's one of the nicest guys I know. He just won't visit RES again

trom2foot3

12/12/19 11:45am

I wouldn't either if I were him

Solomon Levi

12/12/19 2:37pm

Nope

StapleGun

12/13/19 9:05pm

Ok. Thanks for calling an honest man a liar. Glad to know you're delusional
