the Ute fans just ignored the disdain because they so wanted to hold something over BYU.
And even after a decade of not being in the same conference together Ute fans defined their fandom as being anti-BYu.
Ute fans tried to poison the country against BYU, even as the BYU administration and the Church were helpful.
And the whole country has seen the Ute fans and determined they are just a bunch of idiots..... it is glorious.
