fan base that BYU has. You might hear more about suppose fan support from the Yewts, but we definitely have more support, world-wide, not just nationwide. That may or may not offend Yewt fans. The Cougar fans out there are quieter, friendlier (to most people), and better fans than I've ever known. I DO speak from experience.
Yes, the LV Bowl spoken of had some weather issues, and it may have effected the attendance. I didn't go for the same reason, and I would have otherwise.
Our fans don't have to 'travel well' instead we are everywhere.
