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.

Ask99

10/16/17 8:05am

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

mpfunk

10/16/17 8:22am

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

10/16/17 9:07am

Very true.

Dixie's Red Rocks

10/16/17 9:12am

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

10/16/17 11:26am

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

SoValleyCOUG

10/16/17 10:01pm

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

10/16/17 1:24pm

"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

nuts

10/16/17 12:43pm

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.

Oatmeal

10/16/17 8:17am

He lying

BYURider

10/16/17 8:19am

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

Jagger

10/16/17 12:16pm

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.

NorthernCougar

10/16/17 3:11pm

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