^^ OK.
To sort of answer your original question, I work at the U. I was born and raised in Iowa and went to school at the University of Iowa. I moved here in 2001.
As far as Utah sports, I never thought about them before moving here. The only thing I remember was BYU winning the national championship in 1984 by beating Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. Michigan was unranked and probably the 5th best team in the Big Ten that year.
Since moving here, I have started watching some Utah sports. I'm not really into the Y / U rivalry. Sure, I would love to see Utah win, but I don't have much of a vested interest (I would much rather have seen Iowa beat Ohio State and be going to the Rose Bowl). The MWC is basically a joke except for Utah, BYU, and TCU, so most of the games are uninteresting to say the least.
Specifically on the Max Hall thing, he certainly had every reason to be upset and to hate Utah. However, as the QB of BYU, he has to know that he cannot make those kinds of comments. If he wanted to address the issue, he should have spoken to his coach last year. The coach could have taken the matter to the AD who could have then addressed it with Utah (behind the scenes). These types of things should not be done through the press or in public. It just is not the way to handle it.
I don't care at all about NBA basketball. I do have a lot of respect for what Larry Miller accomplished and built. He really was a great man.
I barely even know RSL exists and never watch soccer.
