The Other Side of the Holy War: The Incident Toward Coach Whittinigham's Family

The Utes themselves were getting some special treatment after the BYU game. This photo is of coach Whittingham's wife -- Jamie Whittingham after the game Saturday night.  It seems that those classless Utah fans.

These photos show that both sets of fans can be rowdy and cross the line at times.

This first photo shows a BYU fan punching the guy on the far right as Coach Wittingham's wife and daughter look on. Thd look on the daughters face is classic.

Then there is this one where it shows the BYU fan clearly punches an unsuspected Jamie Whittingham. 

People need to realize that Max Hall's family is not the only opposing team getting treated bad.  I can guarantee during coach Whittingham's press conference this question will rise up and will give an answer along the lines that this is a heated rivalry and people get emotinal, or he will say nothing.

There is a video talking about the incident on KSL but they currently do not allow embeding of that video, here is a link.

IDIOT!!!

As any person with half a brain will notice— in the “First Picture” An emotional BYU fan’s trucker hat, which has a white front and blue sides, is flying off of his head along with his hoodie. Then, in the “Second Picture” the hat and hood are magially back on his head(hhmmm). It is pretty cleer to most intelligent humans that this writer has his photos mixed up. You will also notice in the “First Picture,” the BYU fan’s FINGERS CLEARLY rapped around the side of the man’s face as if he is pushing/pulling the guy. How you deduced that he is PUNCHING this man is beyond me. You’ll then notice some more FINGERS (which fingers and glove look strangely similar to the fingers gripping the man’s face in “pic 1,”) GRABBING the sleeve of Mrs. Whittingham. Once again… PUNCHING? It has been reported that the BYU fan got so emotional because of his recently being punched in the face by Mrs. Whittingham’s son. In the insuing scuffle Mrs. Whittingham is said to have slapped the kid who then had her son in a headlock. I’m sure Mrs. Whittingham was either elbowed or had her sleeve pulled sometime while she was trying to help her son. Maybe we should do a little fact checking before we post horse sh** on these sites. Whoever posted this article is an idiot and needs to have their Union Card revolked

Agree with Topher

I just joined the Mountain West Connection and basically had to promise to never be sarcastic, mean or baiting… but posting a complete mischaracterization is all ok?
