What a fun game to watch. Especially if you're not a super duper Ute fan.
When TCU thumped on BYU a few weeks ago I heard overzealous Ute fans trash BYU big time. Any TCU possession and any mistakes by BYU was immediately followed with lots of cheer. Yet tonight, while enjoying dinner with my wife at Legends (downtown Salt Lake), there wasn't a whole lot of celebration going on. All the bragging was put to a halt in just few short minutes of the start of the ball game.
Supporting my Cougars, I ensured my loyalty by wearing my birthday present given to me by Amanda--a BYU hoody. As I entered and passed through Legends towards the back room, I couldn't help but notice the silence in the room as I walked passed the sea of red jerseys everywhere. Then, someone from a far yelled out "BYU Suck". I turned, smiled widely and said, "Go TCU." Just after halftime the bar began to look desolate. Bah ha ha ha...!
I certainly like any Utah team who wins but, when Ute fans bash BYU for no apparent reason other than pure hatred, I can't help but laugh out loud. Especially when these fans rationalize and blame everything and everyone else for their loss.
Kudos to the 4th ranked TCU football team. They played like champions.
