Glad to hear that there is some civility out there in the world. Maybe we as Utah/BYU fans can learn something here?

Rise & Shout Utah Men!!

I had the same experience as the letter writer in Ann Arbor even though I don't know him. One did say to me though that their hospitality did not extend to Ohio State. Hail to the Victors (unless they are our rivals).

Michigan fans were pure class. I've never been treated so well on the road by opposing fans ever. Inviting us to join their tailgates, asking us if we were being treated well, etc.

Even after the game they were great. It's easy to be classy when you've won, but not so easy when you've lost a nailbiter.

I even bought a Michigan shirt because their fans were so classy. I had a lot of preconceived notions about how their fans would be, but I was wrong. Way to represent yourselves well, Blue fans.

If you get out of Utah more you will discover people are kind and friendly. The reason I love Cal fans was coming in contact with BYU fans. If Cal looses, the fans still had a good time. They don't whine and they don't back bite the team that beat them.

You need to get out of Utah more. I have lived in the Midwest near Michigan and Wisconsin and Chicago for 15 years. They ae very similar to us. Find another issue to grind your axe.
