Boise State is not a rival. Just stop it

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

True.

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?

antiyewt

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?

Everyone pretty much agrees they are the closest thing to a conference foe...

Coop
