Let me repeat. The Utes have had 2 losing seasons in a row. Ticket prices are waaaaaay up (75%+ in 3 years). The season ticket renewal rate is 98% and every game is a sellout. Utezone fans are constantly complaining that Hill is too slow to expand the stadium. There is no BYU on the near term schedule. These basic facts completely contradict your point.

Is there even a slim possibility in your mind that the best schedules in team history (PAC12, not BYU) have something to do with it? I am excited to go to the game today. Do you think my only motivation to attend the game is hatred of BYU????? I will watch part of the BYU game and I hope they win.

Bytheway, 20 games ago was the undefeated Sugar Bowl season. You think an undefeated Utah team had less than 5,000 fans and everyone else was a BYU hater????? You are sounding narcissistic. Go back a little further. 50,000 fans traveled to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl. Largest group of Ute fans ever assembled. I think you need to add a zero to your 5,000 number.
