Utes can only blame themselves by choosing a QB dubbed "Bad Moon" Rising and
then using that song in hype videos. See https://youtu.be/rKk64y2KPYw?si=b5jRxH2v2zZwZuXL

Maybe think a little more before using a harbinger of doom as a banner for the program? A little background on the song from Wikipedia:

"Bad Moon Rising" uses weather imagery to make the point that something bad is lurking "out there."

Fogerty reportedly wrote the song after watching the 1941 film The Devil and Daniel Webster. It was inspired by a scene in the film in which a hurricane destroys the crops of several farms, but spares those of Jabez Stone (James Craig), the character in the film who makes a deal with the devil in exchange for wealth. Fogerty claims the song is about "the apocalypse that was going to be visited upon us". He also said that when the band was learning the song he recognized the contrast between the apocalyptic words and the happy melody. He said "It wasn't until the band was learning the song that I realized the dichotomy. Here you've got this song with all these hurricanes and blowing and raging ruin and all that, but it's 'I see a bad moon rising.' It's a happy-sounding tune, right? It didn't bother me at the time."
