I went with a good friend of mine who was a U of U season ticket holder and we had great seats.

I was dressed in ALL blue the fans around me couldn't have been more normal / funny. I'm from the east coast so perhaps it's b/c I'm used to a little more edge, but there was literally nothing about their fan base that stood out to me...

If they DID say something, I made a comment back with a smile and they respected me more for it, I think.

Anyway, great game with a terrible ending. We shouldn't have settled for the field goal on that last drive. Oh well.
