BYU being independent pushed me to find a second team to cheer for.

I have and will always cheer for BYU. But, independence forced me to find a second team to cheer for, as BYU gave me little to cheer for after the first loss of the season relegated it to a nothing bowl. I am not big into participation trophies.
