Utah won't play USU in most sports and yet the Aggie fan base has a tyrannical

I have never met a USU fan that isn't mad at Utah for not playing them any more.

MasterLump

And yet they still like the Utes more. That is the disconnect.

You must not be from Logan. Aggies will always like Utah more than BYU.

I would say the same about Utah. We are beyond them.

There was an Aggie fan sitting next to me at the Utah game.

It's because BYU is the bigger/more prestigious school. Aggies hating us more

Isn’t this also exactly why as an active LDS you won’t root for BYU?

So you go to a game between BSU and USU, and spend enough time discussing BYU

BYU fans do not believe they’re better than any USU fans.

I think it's the higher academic standing of BYU coupled w/the old goody-goody

Forzaitalia

Agreed - BYU is unique in a lot of ways

krindorr

9/28/21 12:25pm

Higher academic standing starts with higher ACT/SATs and HS GPA. Maybe the gap
