Marketing of your program. It’s not always going to be the deciding factor. But it is definitely a difference maker.

Exactly, it's our freakin' BYU message board!

This. I don’t see many BYU fans seeking Utah fans just to trash talk them.

I cheered for them in '08. I had no problem with the utes. But since then they have become completely unbearable.

I grew up surrounded by Utes.

I hope they lose a lot for the benefit of our recruiting.

Honor Code and lack of P5 affiliation hurts recruiting worse than Utah winning

RockyBalboa

may be true but doens't change the point. I don't take MORE pleasure in them

Scooter

12/10/19 10:25am

I agree, doesn't change the point. But BYU is it's own worst enemy

RockyBalboa

12/10/19 10:48am

There were only a handful of games. It's natural to discuss the team nearby

I was cheering for Oregon to win more than the Utes to lose. I don’t care much about the Utes.

Cougar-Duck

12/10/19 8:26am

Me too. Oregon has been one of my secondary teams I enjoy watching since the 90s.

12/10/19 8:32am

I am just glad we have a coach that roots for them to go 11-1

I get the point but are you saying that until we have scoreboard that people

garyfan

12/10/19 8:39am

I understand and think it's fine if we want Utah to lose, BUT

I think a good balance is...yes, its ok to be glad they lost, but its best

Cmon guy, this is college sports. Relax. Don't take it so serious

Thank you for being that guy. The hate is a little too strong right now.

bleedsblue

12/10/19 9:10am

Amen, and thank you!

phillYeagles

12/10/19 9:22am

I will enjoy watching them upend the Texas Longhorns. Go Utes!!

Sooner Cougar

12/10/19 9:24am

You will have to because OU has no chance against LSU. It will be ugly.

oryguncoug

12/10/19 9:26am

I believe in Sooner magic.

Sooner Cougar

12/10/19 9:29am

it will definitely take some magic or some sort of voodoo

oryguncoug

12/10/19 9:43am

The worst kind of Utah fan are those that take joy in BYU losing and have no clue about their own team.

cruiserhead

12/10/19 9:25am

1) Recruiting 2) ant-Church bias That's why I hope they get crushed

This is my big concern. BYU is not investing in becoming anything other than

I'll take the long-term view of wanting the Utes to struggle. If they went to

12/10/19 10:44am

You dont understand the concept of rival. Only time to cheer for yewtah is when it may benefit BYU.

indocoug

12/10/19 10:49am

The other point that needs to be addressed, is that the BCS (CFP) is a cartel..

lilpenny

12/10/19 10:52am

question: should I go ahead and fan how it want?

Str8CashCougar

12/10/19 10:54am

That happiness was not in spite of Utah program or players but the hate fanbase

12/10/19 10:56am

You don’t live in Utah I’m guessing

Croweater

12/10/19 11:06am

The perspective is generally different for Utah residents, indeed.

DraperCoug22

12/10/19 11:42am

Like recruiting...

Coug-Ida

12/10/19 12:41pm

Exactly. Especially going to the CFP. It would be damaging to BYU's efforts.

DraperCoug22

12/10/19 12:49pm

I haven't said a word to any Utah fans I know in person - just those here on CB.

Eddie

12/10/19 11:24am

Ya. I’m sure USC fans cheer for UCLA, Mich/OSU, Bama/auburn, etc

byu1

12/10/19 11:26am

I do not really pay attention to Utah during the season

Dan

12/10/19 11:30am

for me it's about recruiting, the better Utah does, the less top recruits we get

Hill4Heisman

12/10/19 11:38am

Don’t disagree, but why bother shaming fellow Cougar Fans?

Florwood

12/10/19 11:45am

LOL.

RockyBalboa

12/10/19 11:49am

I take no joy from the loss of others.

You can hate your rival and hope they lose every game but...
