If you put a big Y on your wall on the east coast, they'll think it's for Yale
Ivy league...your perceived IQ will go up.

Beating Tennessee in the 2OT thriller put BYU on SEC fans radar. After beating

Love the exposure, but Utah smack here is lame. It's not like these people are

I don’t think it is Utah smak. I think it is legit

It also shows the lack of impact the PAC12 Network has

Absolutely. Even when Utah has a compelling matchup, football fans on the east

It would be legit if Utah had played anyone of note last week or if the game

My coworkers won't care about a single Utah game this year.

The PAC 12 has a contract with ESPN and Fox too. Utah will have games on the big networks you are referring to...

No one will care, though. Wazzu, Oregon State, Colorado, Utah don't have appeal

The ratings have been fine in the past and they will be fine this year.

A Utah/USC game would, though.

If Utah beats USC and Wash St beats UCLA, college gameday will likely be in SLC next week. Just FYI

Utah's just another state school. Nothing unique, nothing controversial,

Why bring up Utah on the east coast, when someone is approaching you about a BYU

Exactly. People took notice because BYU was playing USC (from the Pac-12)....

Yep, I've also had plenty of coworkers show interest in Utah and ask about the games they'd tuned in for.
Tokolosh
9/16/19 8:23am
you should ask them what they thought of the Minnesota game
BlueFrog

But don't you live in the West?

I haven't lived in Utah in almost a decade.

Texans do LOVE football. Many keep an eye on PAC-12 games...

Texas is my #1 choice of where to live outside of Utah. If I could find a job there, I'd move in a heartbeat.

I'd live just about anywhere BUT Texas. Lol

Fake news, I live in Dallas and have never seen anything about the Utes

I see Utah stuff pretty regularly. Maybe you don’t notice it because it’s not too of mind.

You see Utah stuff pretty regularly? That is strange, what city do you live in?

I live on the border of Fort Worth and Keller. I work in Las Colinas and Grapevine.

How do all these Ute fans only live in your neck of the woods?

Perhaps the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon hasn't kicked in for you just yet. 😉

I just moved out east and have been surprised by the exposure as well.

I love this.

you just asked them out of the blue if they had watched utah play? Do they have any connection to Utah?
BlueFrog
9/16/19 8:14am
It wasn't out of the blue. The conversation led to it.

Maybe in person, but the way you tell your story it sounds like you just brought

Same, I had friends from HS reach out as well. A lot of the same ones
ChiCityCoug

But did you text them back and ask about their analysis of the Utah Idaho St game?
LifelongAP
9/16/19 9:28am
No, because I don't care about Utah outside of the rivalry game!!

The exposure Saturday mattered because BYU won. Need to do it again Saturday. Or it won;t mean as much.

How do you get people to even talk about football at work?

It's great, but it's just timing. BYU now, Utah later in the year.
