I have a colleague/co-worker who doesn't have any formal ties to BYU, is non-LDS, graduated from Boise State, a fairly big Boise State football fan, and has less than a year living in Utah for the first time. He very recently made the following observation to me about the yewts via online chat:
"Yeah, they're pretty fired up about being bottom feeders in a power conference. I see waaay too much PAC-12 stuff up north."
