How about if we go ahead and just win both games?

BYU fans that live in Utah are so disappointing

BYU fans that live outside of Utah are clueless.

I'm sorry that your yewt co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances say things

Come deal with it on a daily basis and see if you change your mind.

feel free to clue us in on what we are missing

Especially since so many of us have spent time living in Utah

Yes

Well, if you guys are all falling victim to the Ute trolls day in and day out

I don't disagree that a win over LSU is a much better win but

ManicBlue

5/26/17 11:06am

good perspective, but how many people (including BYU fans)

You're kidding right?

ManicBlue

5/26/17 4:16pm

true, but replace the Utes in any of those exciting finishes with a Notre Dame

It changes nothing until BYU starts dominating them over a period of years

Why ya gotta be so mean? Majority of Cougar fans/alums live outside of UT

BamaCoug

I work at the U and am sick of the little brother mentality CB has

Ghost

5/26/17 12:39pm

"I work at the U." Yeah, your opinion is immediately void after that.

SlippinJimmie

5/26/17 12:49pm

I think that it makes his opinion even more valid.

Random Walk

It's not where he works that matters, it's that he's wrong

byujdmba

Yeah, so disappointing that we want to best our rival

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:21am

Normally I would agree with you but they have to beat Utah and get that monkey

palangi

5/26/17 1:01pm

I think the fact that they've now beat us so many times in a row is getting into

The Lone Star Cougar

5/26/17 7:56am

this is true. I am sick of doing Utah stuff with the bets I lose at work. Still

BYUheaven

5/26/17 7:57am

I don't get crap anymore from Ute fans at work.

IndependentGeorge

5/26/17 8:03am

We are to them what usu is to us. A joke. Beating us is a foregone conclusion.

Backcountry

5/26/17 8:30am

This is the saddest part of where the rivalry is at in their minds....

Bonoman

5/26/17 11:11pm

Plus we recruit head to head with Utah.

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:24am

I would take a win over LSU.

BYUheaven

5/26/17 7:56am

Me too, WAAAAY more recognition on a national level.

NorCal_Coug

5/26/17 8:53am

That would immediately be lost with a loss to Utah the following week.

Florwood

5/26/17 8:59am

That's historically how BYU operates

buffgato

5/26/17 9:11am

An early season loss before Utah takes any relevance out of beating them too

NorCal_Coug

5/26/17 9:42am

Don't doubt that ute fans are voting too

permiso

5/26/17 7:58am

I would much rather BYU beat LSU. I don't want a guaranteed loss to BYU.

Ute in DC

5/26/17 8:28am

It's not about being a little brother. It's about losing to them six times in a

Dangerous

5/26/17 7:59am

Disagree. Beating LSU would generate more press, more attention, and more

Random Walk

5/26/17 8:02am

Agreed, but you have the national perspective, not the 801 perspective.

NewMexiCoug

5/26/17 8:08am

Recruits at east and Bingham don't care about lsu. Beating utah is what will

Backcountry

5/26/17 8:42am

Oh, they care. They care too see BYU beat a national brand like LSU. But they

Cougar TD

Where did the biggest recruit out of Utah go last year? Not BYU or Utah!!

Ghost

5/26/17 12:48pm

Definitely

Backcountry

5/26/17 5:11pm

More recruiting battles going against Utah??

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:26am

I'm surprised this is even a question. You always want to beat your rival.

byujdmba

5/26/17 8:09am

Yes, but that's actually likely this year (I know I know ... past experience...)

BamaCoug

5/26/17 8:13am

I don't care about bringing relevance to the brand

Cougarealist

5/26/17 8:53am

Pretty sure a win over LSU away from LES will do more for a top 25 ranking than

BamaCoug

5/26/17 9:36am

You realize Utah is in a P5 now and ranked more

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:30am

Wait ... What? Really?

BamaCoug

5/26/17 9:12pm

we're favored by 1 IIRC, meaning we'd expect to lose on a neutral field.

byujdmba

5/26/17 5:22pm

BYUSwoop

So beat them! And then take the guaranteed win against the top 12 team. (LSU)

Just because you live in the South, doesn't mean you're right.

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:33am

It usually does.

whirl

5/26/17 12:15pm

Beating your rival would do more for monetary support in BYU than beating LSU

BYUSwoop

5/26/17 8:28am

repeated beatdowns have rendered half of this fan base milquetoast

Cougarealist

5/26/17 8:52am

Beatdowns? All of Utah's recent wins (except for one) have been by 1 score or

crack

5/26/17 12:53pm

Sure, but I'd prefer a guaranteed BYU win against LSU.

Belboz

5/26/17 11:25am

But, never underestimate the mental weakness of BYU athletes while playing Utah. So, go for the one that will

indocoug

I love the lobbying for a different outcome

Solomon Levi

The "little brother" phrase is tired and worn out

qom

5/26/17 8:24am

This board has been exhibiting "little Bro" symptoms since PAC12 went to plan B.

fulano

5/26/17 8:28am

Byu is little brother. Own it, but hope kalani and Holmoe can turn things around

Backcountry

5/26/17 8:29am

Oh, brother. It's just cyclical.

byujdmba

5/26/17 8:34am

Utahs p5 affiliation is cyclical?

Backcountry

5/26/17 8:44am

Result of the cycle. And not why we lose.

byujdmba

5/26/17 9:25am

Give me a break. The football programs are competitive and BYU is ahead in most

vagabonder

5/26/17 11:14am

Keep running that undergrad academic smack. Take what you can get I guess

Backcountry

5/26/17 11:45am

That and just about any other measure that's not football.

vagabonder

5/26/17 1:20pm

We're just tired of Utah getting the ball to fall their way in the rivalry games

monkeycowboy

5/26/17 8:29am

Utah. a 57% chance of us winning is way too high.

D.T. Survivor

5/26/17 8:40am

Not in my book. I'm confident of a win over the Utes this year.

BamaCoug

5/26/17 9:41am

As confident as the last SIX losses in a row?!?!

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/26/17 11:34am

I'm not going to try to persuade you otherwise, I agree with you....

CoachSpeak

5/26/17 8:59am

We haven't won a rivalry game since 2009. It's a no brainer at this point

cajuncoug

5/26/17 9:06am

For me, it's all about what we have to lose - and hedging against that.

buffgato

5/26/17 9:10am

IMO there is more to lose in a loss to Utah than LSU

billyrust

5/26/17 9:21am

We need to beat Utah

Coop

5/26/17 9:38am

Jarom Jordan is a tool, his over the top schtick is so annoying...

Northern Blue

5/26/17 9:22am

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing about Spencer yesterday...

buffgato

5/26/17 9:24am

I can tolerate Spencer easier than I can Jarom. They really need to get some..

Northern Blue

5/26/17 9:31am

LSU and it's not close.

Real Men Wear Blue

5/26/17 9:24am

For those that live in Utah, and have to deal w/ Utes on a daily basis, I don't blame that result. For those living

ocmyhome

5/26/17 9:25am

Beating lsu does nothing for byu. Beating itah does.

Backcountry

5/26/17 9:25am

You must live in Utah...

ocmyhome

5/26/17 9:46am

You must have forgot how much Utah owns BYU.

BYU81

5/26/17 10:16am

Wow. That's some derangement the Yewts have implanted in your brain.

BamaCoug

5/26/17 9:59am

Lsu doesn't impact recruiting. Utah does significantly.

Backcountry

5/26/17 10:15am

We just won the in-state LDS recruiting battle over the Utes despite 6 losses...

BamaCoug

5/26/17 7:48pm

We got quantity, they got the best kids. Last 2 years. We are holding our own

Backcountry

Imagine how Ute fans felt before 1993

Rise as Utes

5/26/17 10:17am

i'm with you...i voted LSU...it's a WAY bigger deal. plus we get UU at home

nashty

5/26/17 9:34am

This has nothing to do with being a little brother, and everything to do with rivalry.

IrishCooga

5/26/17 9:56am

Like Jarom said on the show it is the logical vs the emotional response

Dr T-bone

5/26/17 9:58am

Utah is always the logical response.

Turnpike Lane

5/26/17 10:14am

We are already favored to beat Utah, Almost no chance to beat LSU

Dr T-bone

5/26/17 10:51am

So how did that 2009 win vs OU help recruiting? And the Texas wins?

Turnpike Lane

5/26/17 11:41am

Utah and it's not close.

BYU81

5/26/17 10:06am

Although this FPI is pretty crazy. Less than 10% chance of beating LSU.

BYU81

5/26/17 10:15am

Sorry. I can't go there with you.

Ham

5/26/17 10:09am

Beating LSU would be fun for a whole year too...

BamaCoug

5/26/17 10:35am

My guess is that you interpreted the question in a real time scenario, whereas

Harrison0Yfan

5/26/17 10:32am

It's not little brother. It's recruiting, it's local mindshare.

TheRowdy

We are in no way expected to beat LSU. It doesn't sound like it is even close to

LSU is obviously the better win, but...

LifelongAP

I agree with you. Take the guaranteed W at LSU, & have 6x more chance to beat UT

RUNBYU1

5/26/17 11:26am

Dude. I guess we better beat Utah or we're all going to lose our minds.

Mark320

5/26/17 11:31am

The only reason I would vote for Utah is because it breaks the streak and does matter

Adrielle

5/26/17 12:09pm

Breaking news. Rivalries matter in college football.

Crush4

5/26/17 12:24pm

Which win gives you a better output in recruiting?

checoug

5/26/17 12:37pm

Instate and only against Utah. LSU is a national recruiting win.

ImuaKahuku

5/27/17 9:17am

We are "little brother" now. Sadly, BYU is no longer in a position to be..

k2coug

5/26/17 8:25pm

I lean towards the LSU win. It more than offsets a loss to Utah to most recruit.

ImuaKahuku

5/26/17 11:52pm

Here's the deal: I have hope that we can beat LSU.
