I know we make a big deal about how it's too bad the majority of bad fans make it bad for the few good Ute fans. It's honestly not true. Most average Ute fans are good, decent people like anybody else. All of the fans I have spoken with do acknowledge the problems with a not-insignificant portion of their fanbase who make the rivalry about anything other than football. A few I have spoken with have gotten the faces of those who cross the line. But it's honestly a battle that's never going to be won. I'm not going to begrudge the majority of decent Ute fans their right to cheer on their team in the right way.

I'm glad that so much of The Cut was focused on Kalani's message to the team. It's definitely a message we can all take to heart.

That said, I don't have any problem hoping Utah finishes the season 4-8.
