They're reacting in kind, but very few Y fans have real animosity to the UofU as an institution. You take away the mormon hater faction, and the level of venom will come down on both sides.
We're actually saying the same things about the alleged Ute fans. I say alleged, because they only care about the Utes one game a year and they don't even care about the Utes. They just hate Mormons and use the rivalry as a forum to do their bashing.

I understand what you're saying about Y fans that hate Utah, but idiot fans are a two way street. If no zoobs existed, the hatred for BYU would plummet.
