Please, have a glass of "shut the hell up."

Utah has made it their pillar standard of class. Nobody else forced Utah to make RUTS such an issue that it is to Utah. Few other fanbases give a shit but to Utah it is a holy unwritten law. BYU fans are holding Utah up to the U standard. BYU fans have no issues with RUTS. It is a U issue. Is there wrong with holding a fanbase or institution responsible for the standards it claims to uphold even if it is the only fanbase in existence who holds such a principle so dear?

This seems accurate. There are certainly some BYU fans who whine about ruts, but it seems like most of us don't make a big deal of it. I remember lots of Utes whining about it at various times, though. I feel like if your team sucks that much they should lose by whatever score they deserve, but trick plays and onside kicks are over the line.
