Respect. I was on the second row and maybe they were a little kinder down there. My brothers were up a little higher and they had worse stories to tell.

I have been to the Red River rivalry in the Cotton Bowl three times and believe me, it was much worse and vulgar than what I experienced at Utah. Even before the game and the night before it was absolutely insane…. The things, I saw and heard in Dallas before that game and the night before downtown…..from Texas and OU fans and even from a few Texas A&M fans that were there….. it was an education.

Although some of the things that have been said on the playground to my little children at school from little Utah fans are worse than anything I ever heard when I was in elementary school.
