I've also lived on East Coast, Midwest, So Cal, and now Pac NW and in each region I've been complimented by home fans at our away games "you guys travel really well". Then I explain that few of these fans traveled from Utah.
I guess my attempt above was to described average Utah-based BYU fan. With all the BYU alumni along the Wasatch Front, we should fill LES for every game with season ticket holders... but the average BYU fan isn't that committed. It's reality.
I still love BYU football and will enjoy every season. But I'm glad I enjoyed a National Championship, a Heisman, and a few top 10 finishes in my lifetime. They were magical seasons.
