it be like the rivalry with utah. I like the respect that the fan bases have for each other (hopefully we can keep this up). When we are playing gonzaga of course it's intense and we all want BADLY to win - it's a rivalry. But overall we do not root against teams like them or saint mary's when playing over schools like a lot of us do with utah. Their sadness is not our happiness (unless we are playing each other) especially because i feel we should all be rooting for the rise of the WCC. I'll be rooting for them and Saint Mary's (who knows maybe even BYU!) in the NCAA tournament. It's nice to not have a rivalry with a lot of hatred like the utah one and i hope we can keep that aspect.
Go Cougs! I'll be rooting them on in Vegas too!!
