But it was news.

Whether people watch a game has as much to do with broadcasts situation as matchup, sure. But people locally and nationally noticed that Utah won, and the highlights got repeated. It was a meaningful win.

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

9/23/14 8:32am

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

9/23/14 9:02am

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

Horus

If they keep winning

Sea Chicken

9/23/14 8:28am

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

9/23/14 11:10am

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

9/23/14 8:39am

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

9/23/14 8:42am

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

9/23/14 11:28am

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