Max Hall's Postgame Comments

As anyone reading this probably knows, Max Hall expressed his feelings of hate towards Utah and their fans after the victory on Nov. 28th. Max was still feeling a lot of emotion from the game, and given more time to calm down, probably wouldn't have said what he did. Nevertheless, what he said indeed had some truth to it. Hall stated at last years game that members of his family were spat on, had beer poured on them, and had very inappropriate things said and done to them. So, Max definitely had a good reason to express his strong dislike for the Ute fans in saying that they were classless. I agree with Max that there are indeed A LOT of classless Ute fans. Every fan I saw at the game was obnoxious and was only trying to get on the nerves of the BYU fans around them. However, I am sure there are some decent fans of the U of U that just come out to enjoy a great game and not cause trouble.
Max later apologized, which was the right thing to do, but still stood up for his family. The bottom line is: There are fans and players from both BYU and Utah that are very passionate about their team, and really have a strong dislike for the other team and their fans. Hall just expressed his feelings publicly, but everyone else was thinking it.
