Cougstreak Walk-on

The teams a good number of fans hate (ex: Pats, Lakers, Yankees, Bama, ND, Duke) have one thing in common.....they historically have been winners.

I would rather be hated than loved in sports.

The real reason they hate is is that (a) BYU is a religious school and (b) BYU

johnnycarson

I disagree

Gustav

2/21/18 9:22am

johnnycarson

BYU dominated the WAC/MWC across all sports for 30 years. Gonna make enemies.

ag4cougs

2/21/18 9:53am

And most of the MWC also had a yewt-like opposition to the Church as a result.

TailgateU

2/21/18 10:45am

Lolzzzzz. A lot of Utah fans are LDS soooo...

DocUte

2/21/18 4:57pm

Sure, but those who aren't care as much about the Church as the BYU. You know

TailgateU

I honestly don’t see it.

They hate BYU because they stink, and we don't care about them because of it.

They all hated us long before the split...but who cares if they hate BYU?

BYU was treated poorly by some (most?) of the MWC schools for many
