Does the varsity team usually beat the JV team by less than a TD?

sometimes. about half the time its a blowout.

Then your comparison is bad and you should feel bad.

i should feel bad, but i guess i don't.

Die-hards don't switch teams. Casual fans do.

True but 98% of a team's fans aren't "die hards".

That's the rub, is BYU really trying? TH and the AD are for sure trying, but

This is worse than Sports Bigamy. It shows a bandwagon fickleness that likely

It’s weird, and it only happens in Utah. Full of fair weather fans.

I agree, but the byu/Utah rivalry is unlike any rivalry in sports. There is so much

I'd argue most "fans" of any team are band wagoners anyway.

In other words, people are weak, and they tend to be bandwagoners. Of course,
