Utah’s Rivalry Week - And I Don’t Really Care!
November 19, 2008 8:20 am Random Observations
Here in Utah it’s the week of the big rivalry between the two big local universities, the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Some even call it the ‘Holy War’ of the state, and every year a lot of people get all pumped up about it.
I have to admit, I’ve never really gotten into it. I mean, I guess in a sense I’m a BYU fan, but just because they’re closer to me and I grew up here. But honestly in the end I don’t really care.
The funny thing is that I used to actually go to BYU, but dropped out and decided to go to a different college instead. So maybe I should become a Ute fan just to be the rebel in my family 
. I’ll have to think more aobut that one.
Even in the office where I work there are some fans that are die-hard both ways. And they all make their jabs at each other which does make it pretty fun. I just don’t know why, but I’ve never really been able to get into it.
Now that I think about it, I’ve never really ever gotten really into any sport! I mean, I used to play soccer when I was a kid until I almost tore my ACL, but then never played anything seriously again. Does that make me a strange guy that I’m not fanatical about any sports?
What’s crazy is that I have a brother who really isn’t athletic at all, and yet he is always talking about the BYU team and what they could be doing better etc. Maybe that’s one of the things that bugs me about sports fanaticism, you have all these guys sitting around debating how their team could be better, etc., and yet they don’t play themselves! I watch merely for the entertainment aspect, but that’s about it. Seriously…does that make me a weird guy???

All I can say is. . . GO COUGARS!
I’m one of the big “Die Hards”, and I love it! Everyone has there own perspective on the game, and I have heard of a few that are fence sitters, but it makes it that much more fun when you pick a side and don’t let up! So again I say GO COUGARS!!!

Yeah, it is funny when you think about how many fat, out-of-shape slobs all go around acting like sports fanatics. They cheer and/or get mad about what goes on in the game, while being barely able to tie their shoes and wipe their own arse. Ha!

I don’t think you’re a weird guy. E.g. I don’t actually like to watch any sport event, but I link to do some sports sometimes.
