I'm sure a huge number of Ute fans go to games all of the time without incident.
As fellow fans, they're not targets, and they're not looking to become targets.
I believe there's a problem, but it's not 25% of the people who are the problem. Much, much lower.

Two year hiatus on the rivalry game to allow folks to cool down.

At best that is a side-effect of the hiatus, but certainly not a reason for it.
