I'm grateful to them for:

1. Demonstrating how good a non-p5 team can be (BYU has the resources to be even better). 

2. They have played hard and earned my respect over the last decade to the point that I now consider them a rival again, and I look forward to playing against them. 

In my opionion they were the best team in Utah last year (lost only to Michigan State and Boise State by a combined total of 17 points)

Seriously. Calling them a "trash team" only makes you look foolish, especially when they just beat us down twice in a row. With more resources and a much larger fan base we should be beating the tar out of them every year. But give respect where respect is due.
