Moved to SLC in 1963 and since have only missed six UofU home football games. I have had season FB and BB tickets for many years (approx 25). Obtained three degrees from the U. I have never lived more than three miles from the "U" and walked to school during my college career. We currently walk to the football games.
With such a pedigree I can say that I hate "BYU".
Having been born in Ohio, I am an Ohio State fan and also a Pittsburgh fan (my mother was born there). I was at the Fiesta Bowl and cheered for Utah although I did not have the animosity for Pitt that some had.
Interesting fact: I saw Pitt with Mike Ditka play UCLA (Billy Kilmer) in the Coliseum.
I enjoy the board for the real story on "U" happenings.
My Favorite Teams:
Utah
Ohio State Buckeyes
Pittsbugh Panthers
Detroit Tigers
Pittsburgh Pirates (I've pretty well given up)
Pittsburgh Steelers
Kansas City Chiefs (I loved Lenny Dawson, Curly Culp, Jan Stenerud, Buck Buchanan et. al)
My Favorite Victories:
Fiesta Bowl
Any victory over BYU (by any team)
Freedom Bowl over Arizona
Utah's drive to the '98 Championship game.
Emerald Bowl
OSU's 2003? National Championship Game (as tainted as it may be)
Utah's Sugar Bowl Win
My Favorite Players:
Van Horn
Doleac
Miller
Mike Newlin
etc.
Mike McCoy
Alex Smith
Tickey Burden
Willie Sojourner
etc.
