Max Hall Loves the “Max Hall Hates Me” T-Shirts
"I just wish I would've thought of the idea earlier so I could've gotten some of the money from it"...
After defeating Utah in his last regular season game as a college football player, Max Hall was ready to blow off some steam that had been building inside him after three years of active participation in the Mountain West's most heated rivalry.
His rant in the post-game press conference room at LaVell Edwards Stadium was one for the ages:
"I don't like Utah, in fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program. I hate their fans. I hate everything. So it felt really good to send those guys home. They didn't deserve it. It was our time. It was our time to win. We deserved it."
"I think the whole university and their fans is classless. They threw beer at my family and stuff last year. Did a whole bunch of nasty things. I don't respect them."
What spawns from such an outburst these days? The requisite apology and a new line of t-shirts for the rival, of course.
So when asked by the "Bickley and MJ" radio show in Phoenix about the new line of rivalry gear he created, Hall just wished he could've seen some of the profits:
"It really is just funny to me. I did say those comments after the game and if that bugs people so much that they want to make a t-shirt about it and put it on their back then, hey man, that's fine with me. I think it's funny."
"I just wish I would've thought of the idea earlier so I could've gotten some of the money from it. I don't know why I didn't think about that."
"Utah fans don't like me but I think, for the most part, most of the BYU fans like me so I had a great experience in Utah. I don't really have any complaints. But it is funny that they made the t-shirts and people are actually wearing them around."
Instead of heading straight to the trademark office, Hall has a few bigger concerns in front of him at the moment. Like making the Arizona Cardinals roster. Judging by the performances of Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson so far in the preseason, life is looking up in the desert for the former Cougar.
