I was on their board Utefans.net. They think we are stealing their crimson team color (didn't have a sports team until 1916) and according to team, we haven't been to a bowl since 2004. Very confused fans.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

We may have stolen ours from Harvard, but whatever. There are many schools with that color. They must not have much to talk about...

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

I love that they have a disclaimer saying no smack talk, yet the entire thing was loaded with smack talk. If that was not smack talk then what is?

Reading their board is like listening to a bunch of ants clamoring about why the elephant won't take them seriously.

Their ambassador yesterday was correct: definitely a chip on the shoulder.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

The format for their board is...very odd. Never seen one like that before. I visited and tried navigating/reading some of the threads but finally just gave up. And yes they are a bit chippy.
 
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

Definately 'bizzaro world' over there. I agree with RoTyde, it's like pre AlGore internet! lol

I'm on a conservative political forum with alot of 'Ute' fans. Some really do look down their noses at us down here in The South.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

I have a friend who lived in Utah most of his life, attended BYU for a short time then transferred to UA and graduated. He told me the Utes are best described as the Barners of the West.

Asking a BYU fan about Utah fans is about the same as asking you about Auburn fans.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

WOW
I just read some of the things over there on the site linked, and I thought Utah people were suppose to be religious & good mannered people. I suppose I don't know what people from Utah are like. I'm sure their have their bad fans just like any fan base does, but I can't believe they allow some of those things to be posted on their site............:eek2:

I sure hope Utah fans come to realize we are good folks, and just love our Bama football. Should be a great game, and I'm shocked they think Bama will be taking this game lightly.
Especially with Saban at the helm......

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

I agree I post as Cougarkiller over there and, there has been some crap posted overthere that is just over the top.

I have to say I have only been treated with respect over here, and that also say that that isn't the normal Ute fan. I expect he will start to get blue stars (which is bad)

Welcome aboard, snowute. Maybe you can answer my question concerning Utah's mascot. How does Utah get to use a native American mascot, while others (FSU has special permission due to the Seminole Nation) are threatened with sanctions by the ncaa to change theirs? :conf2:

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused

We'll the Ute tribe which is native to Utah gives the school permission to use Utes as our nickname much like FSU. Also instead of having a Ute warrior ride into the games like FSU we have a Red Tailed Hawk named Swoop as our mascot.
