have you pleadingly repeated this enough that it's actually become true?
Its always been true. Im a person who likes to be happy, peaceful, and reasonable. I like interacting with happy, peaceful, and reasonable people as well.
When that game comes around i get stressed out, unhappy, unreasonable, argumentative, and never enjoy the game. Even way back in the day when byu used to win some times. I still hated it.
And im not the only one who changes. Everyone around me becomes more argumentative, and unreasonable and angry too. People who are normally nice to me and reasonable start to interact with me in a very similar way to the way you interact with me on jazz fanz. I hate the way you interact with me on jazz fanz. So i hate the game.
A few years ago i was at my wifes company party and there was a ute football game on tv. So i was watching the game with everyone and cheering for the utes and getting along with everyone and having a good time. People usually tend to get along with and like me (you being a rare exception) and that night was going no differently. It was a great time.
Then my wife casually mentioned that i was a byu fan, not knowing better. (I definately would not have mentioned it. I know better.) From that point on I was the outcast, ostracized person at the party. I was getting dirty looks and there was tons of tension in the air. It sucked.
That is what happens during rivalry week all over the place. I hate it.
Even in this current discussion i came into this thread and was trying to say something nice about the utes originally. Because its known im a byu fan my post was looked at in a negative way.
If lefty would have posted in this thread that he was proud of the utes for renewing the rivalry game then things would have went differently.
And now look where we are. You attacking my post about not looking forward to playing the utes and me defending it. I should have known better and never made my complimentary post about the u of u. I only have myself to blame.
