A compliment of sorts from Stewart Mandel about BYU

Knowing him, he may just be trolling the Ute fan base

It worked. Look at the replies

And you can bet some Ute fan decked out in Ute gear will be there too

I believe they have 107,000 seat stadium. So we come with 7,000 and

Considering most schools probably don't even fill their allotted amount, it's

And...within 10 minutes, 3 Utes there to refute him

Uties love themselves some BYU talk

Yup. 24/7/365. Then they claim they "don't care" about BYU. SMH....

Beautiful reply by Mandel to one of them

Morons. Attacking BYU's fan base is not the smack Utah fans should go for.

Who are you, and what have you done with Scratch?

BYU's 5 year average is #29 in the country. Top half of P5. Utah is #46 - bottom third. The highest G5 is East Carolina

Wow. ECU? Crazy. I would have guessed UCF.

East Carolina averages ~42,500. UCF averages 36,521. Both of these are higher than Northwestern, Syracuse,

That's crazy with the seasons they've had lately and the size of their stadium

Cougar8Duck

8/13/19 1:33pm

When you are a second or third tier university in your state, it's hard to create fans. There are probably more Alabama

YIsForBrigham

8/13/19 1:36pm

That's fair I suppose. I would have thought winning like that would convert,

Houston has the same problem

They also have an 0-12 season in the last 5 years so that probably drops the

I don't think Michigan st is correct.

Cougar8Duck

8/13/19 1:36pm

Oh yeah that's a typo.

YIsForBrigham

8/13/19 1:38pm

For two really bad teams in 2017 the stadium was pretty full at ECU

AlphaCoug

Honestly though. It amazes me the dumb things Utah fans will go after when

Resurgens

Agree. Utah has abundant smack material other than this

Best response so far

Hack

8/13/19 12:38pm

I thought you did that to be funny since I was a hack too.

Zilog

8/13/19 12:39pm

That reply deserved at least two hacks.

Was 20 seconds away from so many POTDs! I my kids would have been so proud of me. Now they are so disappointed.

I’m just here to smiley face them all.

This is where I think BYU fans should embrace this aspect of independence

TFL

8/13/19 12:50pm

I agree. Would obviously prefer P5 but those venues are far more interesting

yahtzee

8/13/19 4:00pm

Is there a P5 fan base that is as easily trolled as Utah?

B Blue

8/13/19 12:58pm

No. There are no other programs as insecure as Utah.

YIsForBrigham

8/13/19 12:58pm

Even Kansas is not insecure. They just know they suck. The sad thing about Ute

I'm not going, but hats off to those that ponied up. Good job.
