We were not competing with BYU in hoops in the 90s

The biggest game in most years in the 90s was against New Mexico.

Actually, most Ute fans don't pay attention to PortlandUte

Matthute

This is a view of some BYU fans that isn't based in reality

I was referring to Football.

PhillyYFan

Feb 16, 03:22pm

It coincidentally ties in with the time Utah competed at all

Is it really that far removed

BYU '80

Feb 16, 06:37pm

Not sure about that. I think PAC 12 gives them some exciteme (short)

CougarEatU

Feb 16, 03:12pm

No doubt. But not enough to sustain them completely.

PhillyYFan

Feb 16, 03:16pm

Nothing in this post I disagree with. (nm)

MVHS_Dynasty

Feb 16, 03:12pm

For that to happen, they need to not be going to Bowl Games. (nm)

Matthute

Feb 17, 04:09pm

There is no comparison

Douger

Feb 17, 07:56pm

I also remember when the Marriot Center was not full at all

Matthute

Feb 18, 06:15pm

It's simply not. Just admit you have a fickle fanbase.

Douger

Feb 18, 06:25pm

Keep telling yourself that. I must make you feel better. (nm)

Matthute

Feb 18, 09:19pm

Utah failure is the pipe dream of all BYU fans. It isn't

If you don't care about Utah then stop talking about them

Matthute

Feb 18, 06:17pm

grosven

Feb 18, 11:34pm

How is it ironic? We come here BECAUSE you discuss our team

Matthute

I'm sorry you are offended by a anonymous fanatics

grosven

Feb 19, 09:12pm

When you talk about Utah, you are basically inviting us in.
