Take it for what its worth, from a TDS extreme fan…
In the 80’s my brother and I used to go to LES every home game at noon and watch great football, then we went to RES in the evening to have fun. We used to jokingly say that good football didn’t exist in RES and having fun didn’t exist in LES. Of course we both cheered for Utah except when they were playing our team. We even went to numerous Utah basketball NCAA games on the road wearing our Utah jerseys.
One game in particular was 2008 on a snowy blizzardy type day. I was pulling for BYU, but when it became obvious the cougs didn’t stand a chance, I silently started pulling for Utah. After the game I stayed to watch the presentation while Utah was invited to a BCS bowl. I was cheering very loudly and very happy for them. I felt Utah was the national champion that year after beating Alabama.
Something has happened along the way. I no longer own anything red, and I have no desire to see Utah win any games. I wish the rivalry were the way it was, where we could pull for Utah when they were not playing my team.
Like most of you on UteHub, I have never done anything to warrant getting kicked, pushed, or shoved, yet it happens from both sides. Let’s hope we can keep an intense rivalry without making it toxic. Again, like I said, you and I deserve a better rivalry.
