I’ve got a contingent of roughly 10 co-workers gathered nearby discussing Utah football.

They’ve been having a great laugh about 8 yr old byu fans not being alive during a byu win and their dominance in the rivalry.

Most of these guys are ALUF’s, they are my least favorite of Ute fans.

It’s been painful because their conversation has been so obnoxious but BYU has done nothing of note in recent years to even attempt to engage.

It's not hard to do. How can you wish I'll of the D news or KSl?

What about BYU fans who hate the UofU passionately despite those same

How is that the same? By that logic if Pres. Nelson drove a Toyota and I hated

AMEN!!! It's funny. While in college I have chatted with Ute fans and explained

One big reason is because they applied and got rejected. This sows feelings of

Sorry I was redundant and didn’t see your post was longer than 1 paragraph. 😬

I dont understand why you conflate BYU with the Church.

This idea is exactly why I didn't like BYU growing up.

Sounds like you repented and like them now

If they engage you, simply agree with them about the pac10.5

Ask them if Tuttle got any minutes on Saturday?

Until we beat them, there really is nothing smart or funny you can say

They have their reward. Ego driven fandom is the worst no matter who you cheer

Signed, half the BYU fan base in the 80s

And? Just proved my point although you're using arbitrary half it still applies

DJROSS

10/22/18 5:25pm

Good bet that BYU will probably be good again, and Utah will probably be less

grosven

This. College football is incredibly cyclical.

ebv

10/22/18 3:18pm

Unfortunately, as you noted, those good vs. bad cycles can last 10+ years

zCoug08

Yep. They very much can.

Not while Utah is P5 and BYU isn't.

Can count on you to be a ray of sunshine on here. Half-empty about everything.

There is no denying Utah's situation is much more favorable for good outcomes.

I think they are extemely lucky to have KW - without him they are U of A level

I have enjoyed this year. Stop coveting UU's p5 inclusion & focus on your team.

For someone who doesn't "give a rip", you sure do have a lot to say about it.

10/23/18 8:32pm

Forget being a BYU fan, Utah is irrelevant on the national stage.

10/22/18 2:59pm

So you are saying that a "Nobody School" continues to pound us year after year?

CT98

10/23/18 10:04am

On the big stage, yes. Look, if you take away Utah beating BYU the last 8 years

10/23/18 10:17am

C'mon, this is just silly. "If you dont count...."

Cougstreak

10/23/18 10:37am

I’m not comparing BYU to Utah. Reading comprehension fail on your part.

10/23/18 10:46am

Not really.

Cougstreak

Just say: “I know, let’s have a spelling contest”. FRutes always lose that one.

Sounds like you work in Salt Lake County.

By that logic, have to dismiss Notre Dame, UCLA, etc. U has NO tradition

Yep. Unicorns, ALUFs, and honest politicians.
