Why are you taking joy in anyone else's misery or misfortune?

As a fan, it is easy to take joy in BYU's success, yet not dwell on the opponent's misery, even when it's those dastardly yewts.

Just tossing some shade at your freude, Matey.

Agreed, most of us want the downfall of the yewts, but not like this.

No, but someone wanted to make a post and claim the supposed moral high ground

Just took a look at the "most popular" posts. Is this what you're talking about?

Agreed, Jefe should probably recategorize this to news instead of Ute Smack, but

What? No one is happy about it. What on earth led you to believe that? It's horrible all around.

What are you talking about? I read the entire article and it makes me extremely sad that so many people

I think the only thing people MIGHT be happy about is that the university is

You can say it's the Trib's fault for grating on the greater Utah population...

No one is happy about it but the story the Trib failed to tell should be told.

3/28/23 12:23pm

You keep saying this. Did you follow the Trib's reporting at the time?

ag4cougs

This. It's not schadenfreude. It's outrage at the hypocrisy of the SL Tribune.

I think people are happy that it is getting the attention it deserves, rather

The issue is that the elitist leftists out there think that only BYU treats

So it is only the "elite leftists?" Most of the blowback I get about BYU is

I’m not happy and also don’t know what schadenfreude means

I agree. It should not even be mentioned here except those who hate Utah want to

If there is any such feeling among our tribe, it is a shame. But I thank the
