UTE FANS ARE CLASSLESS

My friend Craig and I went to the Jazz game last night in SLC (goodbye Jerry Sloan).
That guy in red next to us, yeah he was booing the loudest.

It was fun blah blah blah. That is not my main thought. It's that we were in Salt Lake City, where there are a lot of Ute fans, and the BYU Cougarettes dance team were there to perform a number at half time. What happened? They were booed. (I even heard someone say, "They are gonna divide the fans in the stands with this one.") I know, the University of Utah and Brigham Young University are long time rivals, but that does not mean you should boo the dancers who are there to perform for your entertainment. For heaven's sake the game and performance had nothing to do with BYUofU rivalry. This is not the first time I have witnessed Utah fans behave this way.

Remember the guy who told me he could stand there all night just to ruin my photo.

I think it is wonderful to cheer for your team. Awesome. But I think it is total unsportsmanlike conduct when you boo the opposing team as they walk on to the court/field before any game play has occurred. I am afraid I have to agree with Mr. Max Hall and say
Ute fans ARE classless.

I'm sorry, as a Ute fan, that we have been so classless to you. I'm sorry.

Lady it's called a rivalry. Go any where in the country with a heated rivalry and you'll get the same results.

Nice shirt by the way, you are a great representative of the Lord's University, and classy to boot.

Just be glad you didn't get beer poured on you.

Well for what it's worth, you really aren't our rivals anymore, we won't be seeing you in the Kraft fight hunger bowl fer sure. Also tell Craig to shave his head. It's nice to know all the other fans are classless, when we have such great examples as a fan jumping a U cheerleader, the wife of one of your BBall players trying to fight every UNLV fan in the arena, and of course Max Hall Mr. Class himself. Max said the same thing about U of A fans. Beer comment and all.

It's really just the rest of us which are classless, your glass house is squeaky clean.

The Cougarettes are a great dance team -- probably the best college dance squad in the nation.

However, if you come to Salt Lake County representing BYU, you're going to get booed. I would join in the booing.

What do you think would happen if a Ute dance team went down to Provo to perform...

Grow up and quit crying dude.
