Beating Tennessee in the 2OT thriller put BYU on SEC fans radar. After beating

I’m in NJ, and got the same thing.

Love the exposure, but Utah smack here is lame. It's not like these people are

DapperDan

I don’t think it is Utah smak. I think it is legit

idacoug

It also shows the lack of impact the PAC12 Network has

Indy Coug

9/16/19 8:04am

Absolutely. Even when Utah has a compelling matchup, football fans on the east

whirl

It would be legit if Utah had played anyone of note last week or if the game

DapperDan

My coworkers won't care about a single Utah game this year.

whirl

9/16/19 8:15am

The PAC 12 has a contract with ESPN and Fox too. Utah will have games on the big networks you are referring to...

Tokolosh

9/16/19 8:26am

No one will care, though. Wazzu, Oregon State, Colorado, Utah don't have appeal

Richbyu

9/16/19 9:47am

The ratings have been fine in the past and they will be fine this year.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:54am

A Utah/USC game would, though.

squidmark

If Utah beats USC and Wash St beats UCLA, college gameday will likely be in SLC next week. Just FYI

LifelongAP

Utah's just another state school. Nothing unique, nothing controversial,

BlueFever

Also, as a polite person, I tend to check on my co-workers teams if I know

Baron

Alas whirl cannot see my point. Too bad.

Why bring up Utah on the east coast, when someone is approaching you about a BYU

coug almighty

9/16/19 8:16am

Exactly. People took notice because BYU was playing USC (from the Pac-12)....

HaydenFox

9/16/19 8:21am

Prime time = eyes || Generally better programs get better time slots. That being

coug almighty

9/16/19 8:25am

Yep, I've also had plenty of coworkers show interest in Utah and ask about the games they'd tuned in for.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 8:23am

you should ask them what they thought of the Minnesota game

BlueFrog

9/16/19 8:24am

But don't you live in the West?

Oatmeal

9/16/19 8:27am

I haven't lived in Utah in almost a decade.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 8:31am

Texans do LOVE football. Many keep an eye on PAC-12 games...

Oatmeal

9/16/19 8:35am

Texas is my #1 choice of where to live outside of Utah. If I could find a job there, I'd move in a heartbeat.

BlueBlood94

9/16/19 11:13am

I'd live just about anywhere BUT Texas. Lol

HaydenFox

9/16/19 11:23am

Fake news, I live in Dallas and have never seen anything about the Utes

Go_Banana

9/16/19 11:14am

I see Utah stuff pretty regularly. Maybe you don’t notice it because it’s not too of mind.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 11:43am

You see Utah stuff pretty regularly? That is strange, what city do you live in?

Go_Banana

9/16/19 1:20pm

I live on the border of Fort Worth and Keller. I work in Las Colinas and Grapevine.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 1:27pm

How do all these Ute fans only live in your neck of the woods?

Go_Banana

9/16/19 1:54pm

Perhaps the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon hasn't kicked in for you just yet. 😉

Tokolosh

9/16/19 1:57pm

I just moved out east and have been surprised by the exposure as well.

freshprince

9/16/19 8:02am

I love this.

BlueFever

9/16/19 8:10am

you just asked them out of the blue if they had watched utah play? Do they have any connection to Utah?

BlueFrog

9/16/19 8:14am

It wasn't out of the blue. The conversation led to it.

whirl

9/16/19 8:17am

Maybe in person, but the way you tell your story it sounds like you just brought

The Machine

9/16/19 8:30am

Totally agree - whirl....you prove that utes

truecougster

Independence works if we win. I live in Tennessee. Many people here are now

deljdc

9/16/19 8:42am

I too am on the east coast and can say that this is not unique

Pretorian

9/16/19 8:50am

Utah fans for the most part, stay in Utah. BYU is a private school that draws

Diablo and Doc

9/16/19 8:50am

My coworker just talked me up about the BYU game and then asked, "Is it Utah or

Tortillero

9/16/19 8:55am

Yep, I’m here in Florida and had several coworkers text me after the game

OSUCougar

9/16/19 9:01am

Same, I had friends from HS reach out as well. A lot of the same ones

ChiCityCoug

9/16/19 9:23am

But did you text them back and ask about their analysis of the Utah Idaho St game?

LifelongAP

9/16/19 9:28am

No, because I don't care about Utah outside of the rivalry game!!

OSUCougar

9/16/19 10:00am

The exposure Saturday mattered because BYU won. Need to do it again Saturday. Or it won;t mean as much.

Turnpike Lane

9/16/19 9:25am

How do you get people to even talk about football at work?

DCCougFan

9/16/19 10:01am

First suggestion; stop working with nerds.

Ozymandias

9/16/19 11:58am

If you put a big Y on your wall on the east coast, they'll think it's for Yale

HootnHoller

9/16/19 5:35pm

It's great, but it's just timing. BYU now, Utah later in the year.

Florwood

9/16/19 10:22am

I'm in SoCal. Went to Costco Saturday. 3 BYU shirts, 0 SC shirts.

Hawk Talons

9/16/19 11:34am

in NY-- same experience. (except asking about Utah. Nobody cares about them)
