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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Hack.

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

Hack means posting the same thing as someone else

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

The UofU is a very different place now.

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

Curious question - how do you feel about Utah now?

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

The heart cheers for who it wants to cheer for

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

I even had it worse. I was a football recruit
Medute

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

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

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

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

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