Interesting. So based on your data, a neutral game has been part of the
scheduling for some of the games in the past outside of the Beehive Classic, but even with that being the case, it still is confusing as to why they are all angry about playing neutral games. The supposed "home court advantage" we get in SLC for the neutral games is a bunch of garbage. I've been to the last several games in SLC when we play USU and they ALWAYS have way more students and fans than we have. I'd say they were close to having the double the amount of fans we had just this last game.

If your data is correct, we have played 2 H-Hs for every neutral game over the past 15 years and we actually have a better record than they do playing in the Spectrum vs the Marriott Center. So even disregarding the neutral games and only taking the H-Hs, we still have more wins than they do. In other words, them whining about the unfair neutral games is just a way of them trying to cope with the fact that BYU has dominated the series with them over the past 15 years regardless of it being a neutral series or strictly a H-H series.

Regarding the Beehive Classic, regardless of whether Rose liked it or not, the reason it is not continuing is completely due to the fact that they didn't make enough money and generate enough fan interest to keep it going. That would have been the case whether Rose retired or not.
