2FarGone No One of Consequence

Not long ago my 15 year old daughter said, "Why would anyone be active LDS and a fan of Utah? Shouldn't they be cheering for BYU?"

It's at times like these that my wife and I realize that we're doing OK.

Had a funny experience similar to this.

I've got no problem with active LDS being fans of teams where they went to or

My feelings exactly. My impression is, it becomes difficult to disentangle their

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.

ReggaeCoug

Sounds like you repented and like them now

2FarGone

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

SoValleyCOUG

Ask them if Tuttle got any minutes on Saturday?

TheLost

10/22/18 12:54pm

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

chazen

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

DJROSS

10/22/18 2:20pm

Signed, half the BYU fan base in the 80s

Sale

10/22/18 4:39pm

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

10/22/18 4:46pm

Yep. They very much can.

ebv

10/22/18 5:06pm

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.

Benfica1

10/22/18 4:29pm

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

grosven

10/22/18 4:46pm

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.

I think most could give a rip about the Yewts being in the PAC vs. BYU being

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

Actually, if you READ what I said, you would understand that my problem is not

TrueBlue67

I fell asleep before the end of your rant

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

Ned Schneebly

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

Ned Schneebly

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.

Ned Schneebly

10/23/18 10:46am

Not really.

Cougstreak

10/23/18 11:01am

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

Sounds like you work in Salt Lake County.

andrewg3

10/22/18 3:49pm

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

You're Hallucinating....ALUF is a myth

Yep. Unicorns, ALUFs, and honest politicians.
