The rivalry is competitive. Im not a pessimistic or negative guy. Im just baffled by this one. If BYU had won 13out of the last 16, you better believe we would be talking about how dominant we are.

The games are very competitive, with rare exception. The series overall in that time has not been.

Some might think so, and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to get there,

I think it's a great point. Is there a talent/resources gap b/t Mich and OSU?

It is a great point, just a lot of self-loathing makes some not see it

People only say it's "not competitive" if they're looking to be condescening

Im fascinated by how people can see this so differently.

I do think you might be overly pessimistic about BYU

You are ONLY looking at record. If you that's how you define competitive then ok

Wins and losses are the only things that matter

Well in the end of course it is, but that doesn't mean games aren't competitive.

So is this just a matter of semantics? Spencer didn't say anything whether

CB loves its moral victories as much as Whitt loves leather pants
