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,

Their mascot is supposed to be a hawk?? I always thought it was a chicken.

Association with the school, not the scum fans.

They also pay the tribe for the use of the name

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.

Is it okay to call them yewts if I am only talking about fans?

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
