Does the varsity team usually beat the JV team by less than a TD?

i should feel bad, but i guess i don't.

Die-hards don't switch teams. Casual fans do.

True but 98% of a team's fans aren't "die hards".

That's the rub, is BYU really trying? TH and the AD are for sure trying, but

This is worse than Sports Bigamy. It shows a bandwagon fickleness that likely

I agree, but the byu/Utah rivalry is unlike any rivalry in sports. There is so much

I'd argue most "fans" of any team are band wagoners anyway.

In other words, people are weak, and they tend to be bandwagoners. Of course,
