it has acted as though it doesn't need BYU, that BYU is irrelevant, that it has moved on, leaving BYU in the dust. Utah has acted like if it has to play BYU, let's do it in September, when we play all our cupcake schools (and don't tell me this game couldn't be in November, as we play other PAC-12 schools late in the season). The fans act like we're just an insignificant program. Yet, when rivalry week comes, they are the ones who overreact and stoop to juvenile delinquent/lawless behavior.
There's a difference between what the rivalry was 20 years ago and what Utah has made it today. I loathe them. If my loathing here on a BYU fan sports message board, please put me on "ignore" and move on with your day.
