Don’t show up in BYU gear if Utah is there. That’s lame.

Why not wear BYU gear to see Oregon vs Minnesota?

Remember the ESPN bit about the BYU fan who dressed in blue and went halfway

vagabonder

11/19/19 7:45am

That’s awesome. If Utah is playing in the game I would wear red to support them

USMCdad

11/18/19 9:00pm

I’d wear neutral colors and just go watch the game

I was that way when I was younger, I don’t mind Utah now

USMCdad

11/18/19 9:07pm

I’m just the opposite. I was ambivalent about them when I was younger. Now, after my experiences at RES, I’d never

I’ve never had an issue there. I’ve been to a lot of BYU Utah games

USMCdad

Well, my experiences with my family at RES were profoundly bad. The harassment was over the top. Those experiences

I really do. Independence has changed me

USMCdad

Sorry. That's pretty pathetic. Just being honest.

LiveCoug

11/18/19 9:23pm

Well that’s your opinion, I really don’t care. I enjoy football

USMCdad

Pretty sad. 🙁

LiveCoug

11/18/19 9:27pm

It’s really not. Saturday I went to my first nhl game here

USMCdad

That's fine. I can understand that. But rooting for Utah? That is never ok.

I know more than a few diehard Utah fans that wear BYU gear,

Not pathetic or sad.

Yeah. That's not the issue here

You must not understand recruiting in Utah.

Oh I do. We are limited as independent so there really isn’t much to

USMCdad

11/18/19 9:20pm

That really doesn’t make sense if you are BYU fan...

Traveshamockery

11/18/19 9:23pm

Nah, BYU controls BYU recutting recruiting more than Utah

USMCdad

I never said it was huge but any little bit helps. But you

I am, I loved BYU football in the 80’s and 90’s and 00’s.

I wouldn't wear BYU gear to that game but I wouldn't wear ute gear either...

CoachSpeak

Yeah I wouldn’t buy their gear, but I would wear red and cheer for them

USMCdad

If you’re a BYU fan, wear neutral clothes or the color of the team playing Utah.

Never, never dress in Cougar gear to attend a Utah game.

Yah, wear Wazzu gear, at least that way you're still a cougar.

Wear Oregon gear. They have a lot of cool stuff.
