Below is a quote from Captain Jeff Stiles, a 28 year KPD veteran.
“Something happened last night that hasn’t happened in the many years I’ve been working UT football games. When we finally got the “all clear” from command and were dismissed from our field duty, we exited gate 7 (where the visiting team’s players exit) and as we’re approaching the enormous group of BYU fans that have packed outside the gate, they make a path and begin cheering for US! I must have given 100 high fives and heard “thank you for your service” dozens of times. It was honestly a little odd at first. That’s not the treatment that my brothers and sisters get very often these days, but as much as I expected some foul comment about cops, nothing ever came. Just cheers, smiles, and gratitude. Thank you, BYU Football. I wasn’t necessarily a fan last night, but will be from now on.”

Yes. They might believe some ludicrous stuff and punish their young men with endless embarrassment at strangers’ doors, but they are almost always really nice people.

Some strange tenants within their faith, but they are nice enough.

Cops loved it, the Knoxville bar owners hated it.

Everyone should honor and respect all those who put their lives on the line to protect us.

Utes are more fun
BYU folks are like politicians
Shiny and good to the public but freaks behind closed doors

Nice of the BYU Fans respect. Have had nothing but great interactions with them when MSU played them a few years back.
