I like the dude on 1280 who just called and said he grew up a die-hard BYU fan

I don't care for band wagon fans. I think most current Utah fans are band wagon

They are. Once utah starts sucking again, they'll disappear.

I seem to remember Utah continuing to sell out RES after back to back

mpfunk

That's because they came to watch USC, UCLA, Stanford, Washington, Oregon

Are you talking Pre-PAC 12 days or Post-PAC 12 days? If the latter, then you are

Few true ute fans. Most are BYU hater's first.

SoValleyCOUG

Very true.

Dixie's Red Rocks

Inside of Utah or outside of Utah?

DesertBlues

10/16/17 11:08am

Same. From what I have seen in Utah there are plenty of BYU haters first.

Cougstreak

At the UT game we had some schmuck yell 'BYU sucks, go utes'. I called him out

BlueTooth

10/16/17 3:31pm

I don't know if this is unique. It is lame, but not just Utah to BYU

DesertBlues

10/16/17 9:31pm

In utah. Most yewts are former or disenchanted LDS members who have an axe to

Before moving to AZ, I lived in Holiday UT and according to my limited data set

DesertBlues

10/16/17 10:47pm

Yes if they went to yew of yew. How many yewts are college grads though?

SoValleyCOUG

10/16/17 10:54pm

I don't believe you. How many people can't spell the name of their former city?

HarlemCoug

10/17/17 5:55am

Good point, but if it is not underlined in red it is not misspelled

DesertBlues

10/17/17 10:56am

Not true in my experience. There are a lot of real Utah fans.

Cougstreak

10/17/17 7:36am

I have some misguided family members who claim to be ute fans

Oldcougfan

10/16/17 9:56am

They only wear their U hats when the yewts are winning

Cougrrrs Roll

"grew up" a BYU fan. Doesn't sound like he went to BYU. Probably harder to switch after

DrBYU

10/16/17 8:06am

I have nothing against band wagon fans.

thebruce

10/16/17 8:08am

I have a feeling that as more and more kids from BYU come from out of state

nephicoug

10/16/17 8:09am

No BYU fan would switch to Utah

Brigham

10/16/17 8:10am

Agreed. Pathetic if true.

Cougstreak

10/16/17 8:25am

I could see switching to Boise, Wash St, Oregon, an AZ, CA, or CO. Not Utah.

Turbine

10/16/17 9:24am

I agree with you in theory, but it's been happening in Utah for 10-15 yrs now

AntiSNOT

10/16/17 9:39am

The point you missed is.. those were NEVER BYU fans to begin with.

ArchbishopMitty

10/16/17 11:25am

Exactly. I’d go cheer an nfl team and everyone in

True story.

BlueFever

10/16/17 1:36pm

Kind of dilutes the expression 'die-hard'

Misteak

10/16/17 8:13am

Most BYU alums I know, who watch football consistently, are now NOT BYU fans.

BYURider

Talked to 3 byu students yesterday. They camp out

johnnycarson

10/16/17 8:21am

They are correct but you don't switch teams

Crush4

10/16/17 8:28am

Why not?

thebruce

10/16/17 8:51am

Dumb, but the cold hard truth is that Utah football is much more interesting.

Iman23

10/16/17 8:23am

They're interesting and relevant. With a great schedule where

johnnycarson

10/16/17 8:24am

Agree with you both, but to switch to the rival school. Follow someone else....

Cougstreak

10/16/17 8:26am

people can't see it happening...but here's how it could happen: byu's

johnnycarson

10/16/17 8:53am

Solution: Don't live in Utah and see real college football (SC, NC, FL, etc.)

CObluezone

10/17/17 8:21am

Exactly. Add TX, midwest (Michigan, ND, Ohio State) places to see a game.

Cougstreak

10/17/17 8:47am

I don't believe the guy. Liar.... If you're a big enough sports fan that you're on 1280, you don't switch to your rival.

HarlemCoug

10/16/17 8:31am

If you are just a fan of the football I get this

stonecougar

10/16/17 8:33am

He is a life long UU fan and thinks he is having fun by trying to show BYU fans are leaving the gold.

Real G Man

10/16/17 8:35am

I had a HS English teacher who told us he voted for Clinton (first time around).

Byron McNertney

10/16/17 8:36am

Bandwagon fan not diehard fan.

bluegato

10/16/17 8:40am

Exactly it.

Cougstreak

10/16/17 8:42am

It's true and an interesting phenomenon to me.

RdF3

10/16/17 8:52am

Maybe you have to have also grown up a Charger fan, like us, to get this.

RealComfortableJeans

10/16/17 9:02am

Most likely a yewt calling in pretending he was a Y fan to try and hurt BYU.

SoValleyCOUG

10/16/17 9:06am

I thought all Utah fans are former die-hard BYU fans, no?

Bostonblue

10/16/17 9:49am

I know many people like this - BYU was their fave as kid, they attended Utah

BYUfan92

10/16/17 9:55am

Doesn't he speak for all Utes? Loud and proud since 2004!

Thug Mormons

10/16/17 9:57am

Lots of people just aren't into the rivalry. I know several people who are fans

JAGA97

10/16/17 10:09am

Unfortunately, BYU and Utah are not on a level playing field anymore...

diluigifan

10/16/17 10:18am

It is harder to keep the real grass level compared to turf

Bee Chunder

10/16/17 11:06am

Anyone that disagrees with this (or posts a laugh vote) is in serious denial.

curmudgeon

10/16/17 1:21pm

BYU has a serious hometown image problem.

Oatmeal

10/16/17 10:35am

Here's how it happens

cajuncoug

10/16/17 12:14pm

He was probably like 6-10 years old as BYU fan, as kids get older I can see them

My wife said she wants to start cheering for the U. I converted her to the Y

BlueForLife

10/16/17 12:53pm

That's called a fair weather fan, not die- hard.

Kerbouchard

10/16/17 1:28pm

Did he give his name? I'm sure it was a ute fan/byu hater posing . . .

Nemesis

10/16/17 1:29pm

When Sitake took over everyone talked about the fan switch to BYU.

KeithSweat

10/16/17 1:56pm

Fair-weather fans...need them or want them.

I can't imagine a circumstance where I would cheer for Utah. My brain can't compute wanting them to succeed.
