But then hastily added in that he's not really super into it anymore because he doesn't live in Utah. So he doesn't follow it as closely anymore, but he did manage to watch the game on Saturday. Then he went on to give a very detailed account of the game to the other man who politely listened and acted like it was all new information.
When the Ute was finally done explaining to the other man about how Utah was screwed out of a win with a "pretty questionable penalty" in the last minute of the game, the second guy outed himself as a Cougar, who has watched the game himself. The ute looked pretty uncomfortable, and reiterated that he's not really that big of a fan anymore, but then kept talking about Cam Rising, NIL, and admitted that he watches every game and bragged that he knows "pretty much everything there is to know about the Big XII, and a lot of the reasons for how we ended up in a pretty bad conference."
BUT, He's not really into it that much anymore...
