If Utah starts having "down" seasons, why would they need

BYU? I don't get that. BYU is a good football team. Will they "need" BYU to get another loss, and risk bowl eligibility? Are you saying it will be because attendance will go down and they need ONE game to sell tickets? Saying a mediocre to bad Utah football team "needs" a game with BYU is like saying the Utah basketball team needs a game with BYU -- why? For another loss?

Ticket sales for ONE game just isn't going to make that much of a difference.

Beggar

6/13/12 9:20am

they're trying to pretend byu doesn't exist. put byu behind

kotacoug

6/13/12 9:49am

USU will dominate the state before the yewts do.

Ovaltine Jenkins

6/13/12 9:27am

Exactly. They feel that if they don't have.....

WJCougar

6/13/12 9:25am

There's no upside for Utah to play the game

Crazy Cajun

6/13/12 9:20am

other than it being the most anticipated game every year for

USC.

jt04

6/13/12 9:33am

maybe for you but not the majority of the Ute fanbase

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:40am

One of your own did the work for me:

I'm not talking about one year

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:56am

1917 - last time USC went to SLC

It didn't take long to form that superiority complex did it?

whoneedscorners?

6/13/12 9:23am

Who does Utah plan on signing 2 for 1s with?

WJCougar

6/13/12 9:21am

we need games more than they do... they've got the leverage

kotacoug

6/13/12 9:24am

We don't need games from them that badly

ManicBlue

6/13/12 9:29am

Filling September games is the least of our worries

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:31am

now if they were willing to play in November

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:31am

BYU will not sign a 2 for 1 with Utah

WJCougar

6/13/12 9:32am

especially not for September

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:33am

especially not EVER

WJCougar

6/13/12 9:36am

I wouldn't think so

JeffMusta

6/13/12 9:37am

Wouldn't you want to play Michigan rather than Utah?

Cauayan

6/13/12 9:21am

Yes, particularly if the game is in Septmber

RoswellCoug

6/13/12 9:22am

But would BYU ditch Utah for it? Highly doubt that...

ocmyhome

6/13/12 9:24am

Yes this is correct

The Dan Man

6/13/12 9:22am

Utah will also get home and home games against

Cauayan

6/13/12 9:26am

Thanks!

Why is this a big deal? #54-10breedslamesmacktalk

jt04

6/14/12 8:42am

As the Dirty Yewts continue to go 4-5 in the PAC10

6/13/12 9:25am

Weak argument.

Everymancoug

6/13/12 12:10pm

the utes should have been in the Vegas bowl

ManicBlue

6/13/12 12:55pm

4-5 is going to be considered "better than average" for them

ds7

6/14/12 7:44am

How would BYU do? #54-10yetthinkstheyaregood

jt04

6/14/12 8:42am

One must remember the bigger picture

Bucko

6/13/12 9:27am

Utah is dropping BYU to replace them with a B1G team.

jt04

6/13/12 9:33am

Stop acting like a little brother.

Some of you guys sound like the slighted girl

SamoanCoug

6/13/12 9:35am

^^^^This guy is very wise (at least on this issue)

ilnati

6/13/12 10:42am

My take: Ending it now looks better for them

Downtown

6/13/12 9:35am

Utah doesn't need it anymore. They have replaced BYU

jt04

6/13/12 9:37am

They don't need BYU now.

Downtown

6/13/12 9:39am

If Utah starts having "down" seasons, why would they need

ilnati

6/13/12 10:47am

Today that may be the case, but tomorrow may be another

Bucko

6/13/12 9:39am

This.

Downtown

6/13/12 9:40am

If this happens, are you telling me BYU wouldn't say "yes"?

jt04

6/13/12 9:51am

Nobody needs their rival

cougarick

6/13/12 9:47am

Why wouldn't they drop BYU?

coug'sdad

6/13/12 9:47am

why does colorado play CSU every year?

ds7

6/14/12 7:49am

I agree...

coug'sdad

6/14/12 8:29am

Because it is a close, cheap, win. Like Utah playing USU.
