Tell me how you really feel..

This is a comment that was left on my last post from an anonymous blogger:

"Brooke, look in the mirror you are the perfect example of a ute fan. You lie, you cheat, you back stab, you are an alcoholic, you are a whore. You just don’t get it. I dare you to ask your associates to tell you the truth, no one likes you. You are a manipulating, conniving, lying, evil bitch.

Sorry, the truth hurts."

Wow. Really? All that? Well I'm glad whoever that was got it all off their chest. I only wish whoever let such an "honest" comment out had the balls to put a face on it. If you really hate me that much, don't hide behind the internet. I'm going to assume this is from a disgruntled BYU fan since they say that I'm the perfect example of a Ute fan, and have no clue what the definition of an alcoholic is. I drink socially, that's about it, no alcoholism here. But i'm not here to defend myself. I just thought I'd share this with the world.
This is all just a bunch of sticks and stones.

Why can't we be friends?!

I admit that I may have been a little mad when I wrote my last post. I apologize for some foul language and heat from my heart. What I won't take back is how i honestly feel. I am in no way saying that I'm not going to be friends with any BYU fan. Michelle, I most certainly want to be your friend still. I hate this rivalry because I feel that it clouds fans judgment. When people post things like a sign on a toilet bowl and state that this is the only bowl Utah belongs in, that is not in good fun. I don't take that well (especially after last season). I'm sorry, we still represent the Mountain West Conf. and us doing well is good is good for the whole conference. The same for BYU or TCU or any of us. When one of our teams does well we should all be cheering for our conference. My boss is a great example of that. He is the biggest BYU fan I know, yet I never get any negative comments from him whether Utah is doing well or not, he cheers for Mountain West teams. Why can't we all just get along!? I would like to continue the friendships I have with all my BYU friends, but I will not be friends with people who say they agree with Max Hall, to me that is saying I am classless and rude, which I am not. I'm just a football fan who chooses to wear red instead of blue. And my "GO UTES" signs never say anything bad about any other teams. Lets all have some good sportsmanship and have a clean fun rivalry for heavens sake!

Goodbye Max Hall, ye shall not be missed.

Yesterday was a hard day for myself and all fellow University of Utah fans. But I'll live, there's always next season. That was until today when i saw Gordon Monson's column in the Tribune with Max Hall's comments: "I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them I hate their program, I hate their fans, I have everything. It felt really good to send those guys home. They didn't deserve it. It was our turn, and our turn to win. We deserved it. We played as hard as we could tonight. And it felt really good, again, to send them home, to get them out of here, and so it is a game I will always remember. I think the whole university, their fans, and their organization is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year, and they did a whole bunch of nasty things, and I don't respect them, and they deserve to lose."

Wow. Can the Honor Code control this guy? Has he ever heard of sportsmanship? I personally know that there is bad blood between the teams, that's why I don't go south of Salt Lake County when its football season. I don't agree that Utah fans had any right to be mean to a player's family or any BYU fan for that matter. I certainly don't agree with the BYU fan that assaulted Kyle Whittingham's wife either. How did this get so out of hand?! I have never heard any player talk so openly negative about any team. Most of the BYU fans i've known this year have been awful too! I have never seen digs on BYU like I have this year against Utah. Do you all have such hurt egos that we won last year that you have to put down all of our loses? I didn't see any foul comments from Ute fans when Florida killed BYU this year or about the loss from TCU, but the minute we lose to undefeated TCU its foul comments left and right from BYU fans. What was the BYU website talking about? HONOR?! Holy Lord! Do any of you know what that means?! I'm SOOO glad Hall will be gone next year or I may start to have a real BAD attitude about BYU. He can get the F*CK out with his bad ass attitude. People may not remember all of his turnovers from last year, or that he won the game winning touchdown in overtime this season but i'll surely remember his attitude and foul comments about the Utes. I root for Collie, Krueger and all the players from Utah schools who make it pro but I don't have any good vibes for Max Hall.
And to any of my "facebook friends" who agree with Max Hall, If you all have bad attitudes and hate all Utah fans, then clearly we can't be friends anymore because if you think so poorly about me as a Ute fan then I don't want anything to do with that kind of attitude!
Go Utes for having more class than Max Hall.
