I really don't think either team needs the other

I like the game because it's fun. I have a lot of friends that are Utah fans. But if the teams stopped playing completely, I think they would both be fine without each other.

Maybe not playing the Yewts isn't such a bad idea

I agree. The hiatus hurts them way more than it hurts us.

I'm sure a win over byu right now would mean more to

Extend the hiatus for another couple years and they would be begging to play us

Jersey hunter

9/23/14 8:28am

whys that?

Utesplease

Starved for meaningful wins - No better victory than beating BYU

Jersey hunter

9/23/14 8:40am

a win over byu is pretty meaningless

Utesplease

9/23/14 8:53am

yeah right - liar!

I know plenty of Yewtah fans who cared more about the BYU win than...

I agree. Rivalry games are always one of the most important games of the year

Utesplease

9/23/14 9:14am

Hard to say because Utah always gets so amped for the game

IrishBlue

Wasn't last year's game the one time they got on national television?

Horus

If they keep winning

Sea Chicken

Sure, but they won't keep winning.

newey-west

9/23/14 8:32am

Then why does it matter?

Sea Chicken

9/23/14 8:33am

Why does it matter that we don't play them anymore?

newey-west

9/23/14 8:36am

Kyle van noy said utah was their super bowl...

Utesplease

9/23/14 8:43am

Agreed. Winning 8 > games in the PAC12 does get you attention. However, since

newey-west

9/23/14 8:49am

We won 8 games our first year

Utesplease

9/23/14 8:54am

Guess I don't follow your team very closely. Points still remains

newey-west

9/23/14 8:57am

Misleading. yew didn't win 8 conf. games. USC was ineligble for postseason play.

SoValleyCOUG

beating byu during the last 2 losing seasons got us next to no attention

Utesplease

9/23/14 8:35am

Yeah, because BYU wasn't great. But it helped fans during the season.

CosmoK

Nobody watched the Utah vs Stanford game because it was on the PAC12 network.

newey-west

9/23/14 8:44am

But it was news.

CosmoK

9/23/14 8:57am

It was definitely meaningful

newey-west

9/23/14 9:01am

Obviously a losing season with a rivalry w is better than one without

Utesplease

9/23/14 8:58am

False--Utah's highest rated game last year was against BYU.

newey-west

9/23/14 8:40am

Did BYU really have 5 games rated higher than any Utah game?

wapiti

9/23/14 9:05am

Yes (ratings details included)

newey-west

9/23/14 9:08am

yeah, you don't get games on good channels much during losing seasons

Utesplease

9/23/14 9:07am

I already agreed that winning makes a difference.

newey-west

9/23/14 9:10am

If you played and beat BYU next week you would get lots of attention

wapiti

9/23/14 9:04am

I.e. would it mean anything

Utesplease

9/23/14 9:16am

I really don't think either team needs the other

Jkampana

This

Utesplease

9/23/14 9:09am

If BYU were playing a Big 12 schedule, BYU fans would forget about the Utah game

Yugo

9/23/14 8:53am

I'm forgetting about it already

Jersey hunter

9/23/14 9:00am

Sorry, this is ridiculous

cougorute

9/23/14 11:08am

I'm no Yewt, but this is a strange comment.

Real Men Wear Blue

Not playing the rivalry hurts the relevance and national attention of both.
