Your actions are mutually exclusive. Because recruiting is so crucial in
college football, and because recruits tend to jump on bandwagons, Utah's success sabotages BYU's recruiting, and vice-versa.
I used to be like you and root for both teams, until I realized it was cognitive dissonance.

I can tell you why the rivalry became bitter. Anti-Mormons in the Ute fanbase.
