talking in your face stuff. I was there on second row on the Utah sideline and it was constant all night. In fact, I didn't see the last drive because I got escorted out. The group of fans beside me kept getting in my space all night and finally the Ute friend I was at the game with asked them politely to be considerate of my space and they just went off. The guy kept stepping in front of me and then finally gave me a big shove with his elbow and I lost my balance and fell to the side knocking over my friend and into other fans. The guy and his wife just acted like nothing happend and of course I was pissed and walked over and gave him a fist in the side of the stomach. His wife then hurried and got security to have me throw and and lied and said I was the instigator.

The stadium official asked me to walk to the top on into the portal and believed my story and apologized but told me not to go back down which was fine with me. The people that instigated the whole thing were drinking the whole night. Just to be fully transparent, there was a dude on front row to the side of me with a BYU jersey who was drinking and standing on the seat and flipping off the crowd behind him all night long and saying F the utes, holding up 4 - 4 fingers mocking Utah's record etc. It started off as mostly playful but by the end of game people were tired of it. He really should have been tossed. I did cheer in the few occasions that the team gave me to cheer but not in an in your face way.

Other fans around me were not threatening although they kept yelling F BYU and F the mormons all night. Winning in the end made it all worthwhile and extra special when they walked past me in the Portal and I gave them a shaka and yelled go cougs! The lady then came unglued and told me I had serious issues that I needed to address. 🙂
