Utah experience overview

Well my travels to the great state of Utah were very fun and interesting. I would go to a game in Salt Lake City again in a second. The fans very welcoming, polite, and friendly, even in the loss. During the game they were a little bit upset because their team was losing during the first half. But before the game my best friend and I were walking around looking for different tailgaters to see what was going on. We showed up at a group who had a television set up and they had the final minutes of the Alabama @ Texas A & M game on. They were kind enough to give us chairs, food, and drinks.

The only complaint that I have in regards to the fans during the game was that they wanted a flag thrown for every little thing, even when a player dropped a pass and a defender wasn't near them. It was a little questionable, but there were a few calls that could have gone either way and questionable. However, when Oregon State eventually pulled out the victory my friend and I had to get to the trains to get back to his house and we were the only Beaver fans on one of the cars. But the people talked about how great the game was and it couldn't have been better, but if Utah had won it would have been better. We discussed their 2008 undefeated season while passing through different stops. Only a few negative comments were said by a couple of people but all in all it was a wonderful trip.
