I didn't see it but heard he said something about hating someone's kid or something.
He basically went a twitter rant that lasted a few hours in which he spewed as much hate and venom as he possibly could. Of course he tried to play the "I'm just trolling" card, but I think anybody who goes and reads his stuff can see that the guy has some deep seeded issues.
I've always found it interesting that when it comes to spewing venom in this rivalry, you have a group of that coming from Ute fans themselves, but from the BYU side you see not only fans, but also a good amount coming from former players and people that are/were associated with the BYU program. Yes, we've seen guys like Scalley come out and say they dislike BYU, but I think it's fair to say that Morgan's comments were within the lines of good old fashion rivalry smack talk that we would all consider healthy and non offensive.
For whatever reason, BYU has guys like Poppinga, Max Hall, and Derik Stevenson (just to name a few) out there saying really horrible ****. I'm not too bothered when Utah or BYU fans step over the line as I feel as if they just represent the idiot portion of our respective fan bases. However, it's never sat well with me that BYU has so much alumni that really have no problem peddling straight up hate. Max Hall went as far as to flat out lie about what happened to his parents at RES, has no problem using the word "Hate" to this day and BYU players were especially arrogant and mean spirited during BYU's run of dominance in the rivalry. Anybody who wonders why Utah fans carry so much disdain for all things BYU should go and take a look at how BYU and its players treated Utah during that era.
Before I get responses, I'd like to point out that former Utah players have certainly said some things over the line here and there. I'm not trying to gloss over that fact, but it seems to pale in comparison when compared to BYU and it's players.
