tradition. The rivalry adds something to college football that supersedes the money, exposure, and even national championships. I really believe that.

Here's the funny thing about BYU to the Big-12

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 8:57pm

maybe every other year would work too

jwf

9/7/11 8:57pm

I don't think it's unreasonable, especially with USU

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:01pm

I'd be fine alternating USU with Utah every year

vacougfan

9/7/11 9:02pm

there is absolutely no reason to stop byu v uu every

LiveCoug

9/7/11 9:03pm

LOL - you guys are of split opinions, too. Fascinating.

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:05pm

Why is that even remotely fascinating?

Bill

9/7/11 9:17pm

Take a breath...

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:25pm

I'd want the Utah game even more...

SaintGeorgeYFan

9/7/11 9:06pm

I don't think that's funny.

Zaphod

9/7/11 8:58pm

Actually, I would love to see a PAC 12 Utah play a Big 12

Omaha_Cougar

9/7/11 8:59pm

Me too

propha

9/7/11 9:02pm

Yes, but Utah as a real rival is only a recent development

Blueto

9/7/11 9:00pm

We'll play you guys any time, any where. We won't end it....

BluesBrother

9/7/11 9:00pm

No reason to drop it, numerous BCS teams play rivals

BYUTenderHeart

9/7/11 9:01pm

Nope. If you are big enough to run with

Rocketman

9/7/11 9:02pm

Neither conference is tough enough

Pasadena

9/7/11 9:02pm

Florida model vs Fresno model...

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:10pm

Florida generally does schedule down the first few weeks

improv

9/7/11 9:17pm

Yet Florida plays Florida State every year . . .

Pasadena

9/7/11 9:25pm

Miami fans see it differently and derided UF for canceling.

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:33pm

Miami has fans? When did that happen?

Pasadena

9/7/11 10:15pm

Florida frankly also has much better teams every year

squidmark

9/7/11 10:13pm

Huh? Big12 is tough enough

PaxDog

9/8/11 11:09am

If SC/ND can play end of season

Downtown

9/7/11 9:03pm

That doesn't always happen either

Jeffacka

9/7/11 9:09pm

I want to play the game every year

CSoul

9/7/11 9:04pm

You don't abandon a good rivalry and BYU Utah is one of the

Blue Ghost

9/7/11 9:04pm

You had me until you referred to Fresno as a "reward".

Steve O'Rama

9/7/11 9:05pm

LOL

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:06pm

Any BYU fans who think the rivalry game is...

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:06pm

Nope. Wrong again. The game needs to be played.

myboynoah

9/7/11 9:08pm

I look forward playing the yewts

eyebleedblu

9/7/11 9:10pm

B12 vs Pac..no chance, even more of a put up or shut up game

meter_reader

9/7/11 9:11pm

Unless B12 shuts it down like the PAC is trying to do!

meter_reader

9/7/11 9:12pm

Not me ... rivalries are what make college football great

ALRMCoug

9/7/11 9:13pm

rainorsnow

9/7/11 9:15pm

But literally nothing will be on the line now

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:26pm

Not so sure that is true. For instance,

cougsareforreal

9/8/11 11:12am

Agree, hope they move it, more hope they never cancel it

UteonBainbridge

9/7/11 10:00pm

Ahh, I see. Becuase you hold out hope that Utah can win

Pasadena

9/7/11 10:19pm

Some fans want to "dial down" the rivalry

rainorsnow

9/7/11 9:13pm

If we never play utah again I am fine with it.

Mr Blue

9/7/11 9:15pm

Rivalry should continue! BIG12 changes nothing!

RealityCheck

9/7/11 9:20pm

Which is a shame. The Holy War is one of the better

UNLVcougar

9/7/11 9:21pm

i don't think many here would agree with you actually

darkcoug

9/7/11 9:22pm

Right now, you're right, the oats are high...

Great Basin Ute

9/7/11 9:30pm

That's what people don't quite grasp yet....

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:34pm

I'm a traditionalist.

IAMBRAVEHEART

9/7/11 9:35pm

But new rivalries will emerge...

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:37pm

True, but there is nothing quite like the passion of an

IAMBRAVEHEART

9/7/11 9:39pm

That is true. But in-state rivarlies

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:43pm

USC Notre Dame. Colorado CSU. Georgia Georgia Tech.

cosmohio

9/7/11 9:37pm

But interestingly, many of those are not "primary" rivalries

Mighty Cougar

9/7/11 9:45pm

that makes his argument even stronger.

Pasadena

9/7/11 10:24pm

Whether or not they're primary or not doesn't really matter.

cosmohio

9/7/11 10:27pm

Good points

ABCoug

9/7/11 10:11pm

Put me on record: Play it every year.

CosmoK

9/7/11 9:55pm

No way. Play every year. Make it as routine as a conference

squidmark

9/7/11 10:11pm

May as well play it.

ABCoug

9/7/11 10:14pm

BYU-Utah game will always matter, because

BlooCoug

9/7/11 10:23pm

I disagree. It's an OOC win against PAC12

CarolinaCoug

9/7/11 11:27pm

nope. If BYU is competing for big12 conference

palangi

9/8/11 8:29am

the game would lose some of it's importance but

llightmann

I'd like to see the rivalry game go on, but I've already
