but the fact remains that Utah will not play USU in Logan ever again and nobody at USU seems concerned or slighted.

I have never met a USU fan that isn't mad at Utah for not playing them any more.

And yet they still like the Utes more. That is the disconnect.

You must not be from Logan. Aggies will always like Utah more than BYU.

There was an Aggie fan sitting next to me at the Utah game.

It's because BYU is the bigger/more prestigious school. Aggies hating us more

Isn’t this also exactly why as an active LDS you won’t root for BYU?

I think it's the higher academic standing of BYU coupled w/the old goody-goody

Higher academic standing starts with higher ACT/SATs and HS GPA. Maybe the gap
