Honest question about some inconsistencies

This is easy. Rule #1: it is always wrong to cheer for Utah. Everything else is

BYUtka

OK, but prejudices aside, why?

krindorr

4/5/21 9:03am

I grew up a BYU fan who cheered for Utah when they weren't playing BYU. I had

That's understandable; honestly I never saw that at any of the games I went to

krindorr

4/5/21 9:17am

Yeah, this was definitely more recent. It was one of the Riley Nelson teams

CougarTailDevourer

4/5/21 9:20am

I could see that; the P5 invite changed a lot of things

krindorr

4/5/21 9:26am

I think the rivalry took a turn for the worse with Urban, KWhitt and Bronco.

Ehh you experience the same from BYU fans.

The 2-3% of BYU fans compared to the 75-80% of Utah fans.

I've agree 100%. Witnessed yewts mocking the prayer as it was being given.

Switching to BYU fandom is perfectly acceptable.

BYUtka

4/5/21 9:16am

Because Utah is awful

Yes, because I cannot name a time when BYU had:

Uh the brethren already know that. They own it but it isn't "the church". Kinda

IceCreamButt

This sums it up. Don't be too concerned that sports fandom isn't rational.

Hack.

IceCreamButt

4/5/21 9:04am

For caring about memories with my dad? Or for going to BYU? Please elaborate

krindorr

4/5/21 9:19am

Hack means posting the same thing as someone else

Do what you want to do.

I agree with this take; just find it terrible when we criticize others for it

krindorr

4/5/21 9:14am

The UofU is a very different place now.

BYUtka

4/5/21 9:17am

I think you need to relax if you think it is 'terrible'. Its sports, there are

IceCreamButt

Terrible is prob an overstatement; more just an interesting/strange observation

I'm with you on this. I grew up a Utah fan and went to BYU and over time changed

RipCityCougar

4/5/21 9:25am

Curious question - how do you feel about Utah now?

krindorr

4/5/21 9:34am

If I was watching it with my Dad I would pretend to be rooting for Utah

RipCityCougar

4/5/21 9:47am

The heart cheers for who it wants to cheer for

Medute

4/5/21 9:25am

As someone who also went to USAFA, nobody cheers for USAFA over their team

krindorr

4/5/21 9:29am

I even had it worse. I was a football recruit

Medute

4/5/21 9:36am

Yeah, there's still serious issues there re: football

krindorr

4/5/21 9:38am

You don't have to follow anyone else's rules when cheering in sports. You are more than free to cheer for both teams.

Um. Root for whoever floats your boat. BYU and uu have

It's nice hearing the different responses here

Mmmm... all I read from that post was Root Beer Floats.

Cheer for whoever you want. What makes the linked situation weird...

Ned Schneebly

4/5/21 10:22am

I wouldn't drop my BYU allegiances, but I'd certainly be supportive of wherever

krindorr

4/5/21 10:32am

Does it though? There’s a difference between supporting and fandom.

Ned Schneebly

4/5/21 2:06pm

Lot that isn't known, but what we see comes across as supporting their kid

krindorr

4/5/21 2:20pm

Root for whoever you want to

Ute fan behavior. When I lived in Utah

I root for both. BYU always first but next Utah. Anyone that doesn't like that
