I had an entertaining conversation few years ago with our former Stake Patriarch, a Ute grad, golf buddy and all-around
prince of a guy (early 70's). Didn't follow college sports much last 15 years due to busyness with church callings, podiatry practice, and family. All he followed were sports scores, would give me a good natured "go Utes" once in awhile and congratulate me on nice BYU wins.
We were driving to golf once and he sincerely asked why I held such disdain for Utah football and fans when I'm rational on most other things. I pivoted and told him the only chunk in his impeccable armor is retaining his Utah fanhood after how ugly many Ute fans had gotten toward both BYU and the church. He paused, and asked "like what"? I shared multiple experiences others and myself had at times combined with the vulgar chants, Moroni beer chugs, and Sacrament jello shots with the trays painted in red and black with Ute logo on the side.
I paused, and he then looked at me in his innocence and claimed "I kinda find that hard to believe." I produced pics of both and all he could say was "oh no...oh my goodness". He was seriously shocked and disappointed...I almost felt guilty exposing him to that
