Please don't let them make fools of themselves...

My oldest brother and I figured out that this is my 36th season of University of Utah football, not every game and there have even been a few years that I've missed all the games, but still.... I've got nothing on my parents who are in their 51st year of season tickets. But 36 years is pretty good when I've just turned 42.
What I've learned from all those years is to, essentially, be a Cubs' fan. No matter how good the team I approach every game with "Please, don't let them make asses of themselves.... Just let it be a good game." I don't expect them to lose, ever, but I do worry. I've sat through a lot of really bad football games, and some brilliant ones. I've seen a lot of wins by special teams and the defense, it seems we've always had good kickers but none I remember are as good as Sakoda. And I've seen a lot of hard losses: can you say a 56-6 loss to BYU (I can't find the year on this one quickly) and staying until the end of the game? I think that was the score, but I was finally able to block it with a comforting chant of 34-31.
I love perfect seasons (crossed fingers make it hard to type) and even one loss seasons, but I really am happy to settle for a winning record and beating BYU.
