RE: Gaslighting 101: Ute gives an "official response" as to why everyone hates

The fact that someone took the time to write a five page essay on why the Utes aren’t horrible fans says a little bit about the feelings towards them online right now.

I am one that thinks most Ute fans are totally fine. There are some that are extremely loud and give the fanbase a bad name. BYU has these fans too and some of the self righteous things I have seen and heard from legit fans (not trolls) amazes me.

Hopefully we can all give less attention to the vocal minority and let football be fun and the rivalry be fun. Don’t take it so serious.

Gaslighting 101: Ute gives an "official response" as to why everyone hates them

I appreciate that a Utah fan is the most rational among all the CB constituents

Not as a primary rival, but they certainly viewed it as a budding rivalry
