Lol why would politcs matter at all? Are you that tone deaf? I actually have quite a few collegues who are LDS but went to the U of U and are Utah fans. There are a TON U students that are LDS.
I did have one classmate who was LDS and posted once on FB about how the world fears the LDS faithful because they didn’t understand them. I’m pretty sure you and him would make good buds 🙂
