Ok. So nothing to point to where I was wrong? Cool
I have been avoiding this topic and a lot of stuff online just because I have been exhausted by everything including trash talk, which I love to do, usually in a fun hearten way, but it just became a lot. Which not you Fish, or most of the Y fans on this board, but we both know how toxic each others fan bases can be towards each other.
The timing and context of said Tweet also matters, it was made around March, the "Give me a break" was not directed to/at or directly about the XVII, it was about all the media reports talking about how PAC12 teams were divided and essentially breaking apart.
So a lot of what you had read and mentioned on the prior pages last week I felt was slightly bias towards the Y's perspective, which I get. Now from my perspective with my U bias, I would say it was felt there was evidence that the XVII media relations (who was up for the same position with the PAC12 but they chose someone else) was using it's media contacts to try and sow distrust, panic and misinformation to make it more difficult on the PAC12 to stay together and which would then make the XVII stronger.
So I think that is where much of the online hate from PAC12 and Ute fans came from, of course separate from the always toxic fans in every fan base who would be a-holes no matter what. So I think most Ute fans up until the last week or so were holding out hope of keeping the PAC12 together, so that "muted" what would be the normal excitement that say the Y had for joining the XVII. Then when it became clear that Oregon and WAS were leaving for the B1G I think about all Ute fans were happy to join the XVII, it's just a lot more emotionally for Ute fans to process all this with everything to take into consideration.
I could go on another several paragraphs but this is already way too long of a comment.
