This is getting ridiculous. I am as avid a BYU fan as you will find, I have a big party going on at my house today and would love to see a cougar victory. I am a student at BYU and have always thought that our fans tried to maintain a bit of composure and maturity about this whole thing, but I honestly cannot believe that ANYONE from our school would say something along the lines of damnation for not cheering for the Y. It makes me absolutely sick. Get ahold of yourselves and remember who you are claiming to stand for.

Do you byU fans hear yourselves? I don't think god would enjoy reading your comments and thinking this is my church's institution. I am mormon and a Utah fan, and can't believe you think that we are going to hell because we don't cheer for byU.

You don't f-ing say?

My only beef with BYU is the whole "let's wear religion on our sleeves."

We get it. Your school has religious stuff going down. No need to declare it over and over again... we got the point a long time ago, I assure you. I'm truly glad y'all found God, but there is a reason it is called a personal relationship.

And what is with the stadium wide prayer before a game? It is a football games folks, not a bloody testimony meeting. At least after the prayer we know that "we might all have a good time and that the concessions may nurture and strengthen our bodies."

Great team otherwise, but if BYU wants to be treated seriously, they might want to consider not shoving their religion in other people's faces.

Best regards,
A mostly harmless Ute-fan

Fetch, man. Those fetchin' Utah fans don't know what the f they're thinking. They are all going to h because we're so fetchin' righteous. I hope they burn and suffer in h forever for their sins on and off the field. F the U for like, f-ing ever. Fetch, dude.

Austin Collie is a great athlete but immature (way too common among athletes today).

He wants to say whatever he wants, but then he whines when it get's scrutinized.

Well I certainly won't argue that Utes fans don't drink more than BYU fans. And probably if you count the total number of swear words uttered by Utah fans we'd probably come out on top as well. (Assuming we aren't counting the swears that the .mtn felt we needed to hear from Gooch as he lay injured on the sideline.)

But my guess is that drinking and swearing probably aren't commandments #1 and #2 on the checklist for who is most righteous, although I certainly would have to let you and your buddies answer that one seeing as how you seem to be the ones who are writing it.

"By this shall men know ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

As a whole, we are more righteous than Ute fans. Am I more righteous than every single Ute fan? Hell no. But as a collective group BYU fans are more righteous (if you take an LDS viewpoint). When was the last time you saw a group of BYU fans drinking and swearing? I see dozens of groups of Ute fans doing this every time BYU and Utah play. So when people try to tell me that fans on both sides are "just as bad" I have a hard time believing it.

Ute fans lose and have to find something else to talk about other than the fact they lost. Whether it's penalties, comments, or religion.....they just want bash BYU for something since they can't about the outcome of the game.

Jake, I think you need a little more prayer and fasting if you want some of our Joe Smith Magic.

2007-11-28T08:19:47.731-07:00

I don't think that people take offense to him thanking God. I think those who are offended, and I'm not one of them, take offense at the implication in his statement that because they won, they were living more righteously than the other team. Otherwise, why didn't magic happen for the Utes?

Which brings us back to the stereotype that BYU students/players/fans all think they are more righteous than other people, especially Mormon Ute fans, as Trevor has so succinctly shown here.

Thanks for noting the Juice Williams post-game interview. That is the first thing I thought of when Austin's comment first came under scrutiny.
