The two teams haven’t even played each other 10 times yet.

BYU and Boise most certainly are rivals

They replaced what Wyoming used to be to BYU. Whatever that was.

A despotic piece of crap? You can be that without being a rival

You're looking at it wrong. It's good for BYU to have a few regional rivals

Indy Coug

5/21/19 1:57pm

Desperation? Or just the default?

5/21/19 2:38pm

That’s exactly why Boise is a rival. Without a conference, BYU now has regional

Rival or not — Kalani can’t seem to beat them.

Is the media drumming one up better or worse that an assignment by King Larry?
