I always assumed it was a dumb response to them saying TDS. 90% of people think that’s what it is. Lots think you are disrespecting the tribe. Honestly I think it’s one of those things where it might be more respectful to just spell it rights everyone knows you aren’t referring to the tribe when discussing football

We are respecting the Ute Tribe by not lumping them in with yewts.

Absolutely. I wish the U would just drop the Ute part of their name altogether.

Yeah, let’s call them the Red Hawks. That would go well with their lame mascot,

They are understandably confused. Our differentiation will only help them.

This. Out of respect for Ute tribe I intentionally use "yewt" to describe the U.

Different spellings is how we differentiate between Native Americans and the UU.

IDK, the yewt teams in the 80's with the crimson warrior probably take the cake.

Instead they say Zoobs which is so much better, right? 😂

My understanding is Utes refers to the school and teams.

We never refer to the Utes as “Yewts”. That would indeed be disrespectful. We only refer to Yewts as “Yewts”.

Nahhh, I'll always refer to Utah as the pukes. It's too fitting.

I’ve always thought it is goofy people do that. Maybe goofier than Zoobs. No chance that spelling bothers Ute fans
