Yeah, even their coaches acknowledged the bitterness between the two teams. Eno Benjamin started a bunch of twitter wars with Ute fans earlier this year that fanned the flames and it’s just been spiraling out of control ever since. From reading ASU message boards, I get the impression that they don’t like Utah because we are now a competitive team within the conference. Many of their fans still feel like we are a weak mid-major that they should perenially beat up on.
For me, the reason I loathe ASU is their fans and players are a bunch of arrogant douchebags. What has ASU accomplished to be so arrogant? Two Rose Bowl appearances that occured last century? I don’t get it.
