I think we should start going by THE BYU. It would distinguish us from BYU-I

Be better to change the names of BYU-I and BYU-H.

Just an FYI...It was known to old timer Utahns as "The BY" as long as up until

I was born in the 70s....never heard it called the BY.

Ask your parents what their parents called it. Also where did they live?

"The Y" might have come from "The BY".

My in-laws called it that and we always joked about it when they did.

From the 1960s it was called the BYU. A holdover from the BYA or just Academy

Or just keep calling BYU-I Ricks just to upset the people that insist on calling BYU BYU-P. I find that stops that

ColonelMustard

Actually I think I’m just going to start calling it “byu rexburg”

ColonelMustard

4/11/21 11:42pm

BYU Rexburg? Do you mean BYU-I Rexburg?

travelcoug

Haha riigghht and I suppose next you’ll tell me that USU isn’t in Ogden

travelcoug

4/12/21 11:01am

Weber State is, but not USU which is in Logan, I don't know much colleges in

Kylester

4/12/21 11:44am

I guess when you have to explain the joke it isn’t funny call, but here goes

travelcoug

4/12/21 11:52am

The irony is people troll USU fans with the “Ogden” joke, but are easily

Metallicat

Is it irony? Or is it just people being annoyed by the same type of thing.

Bonney fuller didn’t start it but he perpetuated it. It started because a news

ColonelMustard

4/12/21 5:49pm

And we all know that if it’s at the news,… It’s true!

My grandma’s generation still refers to it as “the BYU.”

CrimsonCardinal

4/12/21 9:16am

Same here. So weird. “Let’s go for a drive up to the BYU.”

ArcticKat
