Sounds pathetic

BYU vs Utah should continue in all sports. It’s a great week of football and in-state bragging rights are always fun (not so much during the 0-9 stretch).

Boise State and Utah State are fun rivalries too, and attract more local interest than games with other past rivalries.

OU vs Nebraska was a classic.

BYU is a National Brand. I think we shouldn’t schedule regional schools as

I know it’s a taboo subject but Utah is also a national brand, especially the past 10 years

Utah is seen more as the chippy G5 that has a really good year and fades away

What's awesome about that...is that's what they said about the BCS, then about the Sugar Bowl...then about P5 entry

Yall were far better in 04 and 08 than last year. At least yall won some OOC.

FieroCoug

1/25/22 7:38pm

Yes. I think Utah looks at 2021 the same way they may have looked at 2003 or the stronger 2007 finish.

Exactly. Utah did nothing except for lose in the rose bowl and win the 8th conf.

Can’t argue that…Utes have maximized the opportunity in front of them.

Utah is only a national brand if you consider every P5 school a national brand.

Megamind

By that metric, BYU also isn't a national brand - very few are

Maybe, but BYU is much closer to a national brand than Utah. Even when BYU has

BYU and Utah perform almost the exact same in viewership (when controlled for time, channel, opponent, etc)

That analysis ignores a lot of hugely important factors, like team ranking and

Boise, Utah and Utah Sate are not located in California. So bring on California

With a Big 12 schedule they can still schedule Utah every year....

KSL Utes are going to have to fact check this and then decide to ignore it;)

Georgia, Clemson, and Iowa are national brands compared to their rivals too…

It was lame when Utah big-timed us by dropping BYU for a H-H with Florida

National brand? Eh. Yes we have LDS scattered all over the country but…

Looking at the numbers, we massively overestimate our own importance

So we should invent fake rivalries like Utah VS Colorado? Sorry not a fan.

canofpicante

1/26/22 12:23am

Go ahead and cancel with Utah, there is plenty of desire for it to be cancelled on this side as well
