Ogden vs Provo/Orem
Provo/Orem vs Provo/Orem

Those who live in Ogden will get 'up' for a game with BYU vs Weber State. Those who live in Provo/Orem will likely be tuned in regardless of who BYU plays.

Meh. Would we really lose that many fans?

How does BYU benefit?

Offers a little local buzz. But what does BYU benefit from playing Weber State?

The difference is marginal.

Disagree. Weber is more established than UVU. Playing them brings interest

how interesting across the Wasatch Front is Weber St? I'll wager not very.

Haven't we played them once or twice in the past?

UVU student/BYU fan here. I wouldn't lose my fandom to BYU because of that game.

Sure, but those fans probably already dislike BYU.

Marginal costs. Like ATM fees.

Epileptic Beagle

Exactly--just like ATM fees.

Everybody plays a few cupcakes, especially early in the season. Why not schedule

It definitely benefits UVU and I'm not worried about 'losing' BYU fans due to

BYU doesnt play every D1 program in the state

concolor couguar

They Play Utah, Utah State, and even Weber State.

BYU has played Weber nearly every year for 40 years

concolor couguar

5/22/15 1:14pm

BYU wouldnt have alter their series with Weber State to schedule UVU annually.

BearsandBulls

5/22/15 1:21pm

EKU and SVU wont require a return trip from BYU

concolor couguar

5/22/15 1:29pm

I bet UVU would be content to play at the marriot center...

If BYU were not to give UVU a home and home like Weber gets

concolor couguar

5/27/15 10:48am

As long as they can keep it a "fun" cross-town match

If it was handled correctly, it could and would be very friendly.

Do it only as part of a state tournament. Maybe even pre-season

Cougar TD

I think a state tournament would be a great idea.

BearsandBulls

5/22/15 1:22pm

UVU is, more or less, BYU friendly.

LonePeakCoug

5/22/15 2:42pm

BYU is afraid of UVU, they are afraid to play in the UCCU center

cougaman

5/22/15 3:14pm

I don't think most UVU students feel that way. UVU doesn't have the same...

How is this a concern for anyone? Much ado about nothing

I like the idea of playing them as part of a all Utah tourney with UofU, Weber..

icecougar

I've always thought of UVU as something with potential for friction.
