BYU beating Utah State 34 out of the last 40 games is not a rivalry....who calls this game a rivalry?

They do.

Anytime a fan base can flip the double bird and chant “overrated “ when getting

I was in the stands near the usu bench when leavitt got that INT and then ran

Who is Utah State? Never heard of them….

Didn't they change their name to Utah technology institute?

We were only 6-4 against them in the 2010’s though

Polemic

This is what makes it a rivalry. We've lost games to them that we should've won.

Y05

9/28/22 5:04am

That doesn’t make a rivalry

Romex

So Notre Dame Vs Navy is a rivalry?

Cougstreak

9/28/22 5:24am

ND v Navy is a rivalry, is this a joke?

Hotlanta

9/28/22 6:09am

Not a rivalry from an ND perspective, not at all. It is an annual game and both teams have respect for one another.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:07am

It's okay to be wrong.

Hotlanta

9/28/22 9:17am

Not a rivalry. If this is the case than ND has A LOT of rivalry games. Not sure how you define a rivalry.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:25am

Yes, ND has the most rivals of any school in the country. This is known

Hotlanta

9/28/22 9:29am

Define rivalry. It is used simply to state they play annually. Look at this definition and tell me how ND vs Navy fits

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:32am

If it's on this list, I count it

Hotlanta

9/28/22 9:38am

Agree to disagree. I can tell you most ND fans view Navy as a traditional game NOT a true rival.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:42am

Based on this USU is an archrival as it is 100x more serious than ND/Navy.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:45am

USU is a major BYU rivalry. This is obvious.

Hotlanta

9/28/22 9:54am

"Major rivalry"? I disagree. It is a rivalry, but hardly makes a blip of excitement on the preseason scheduling.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:57am

Cool. Still rivals

Courtimedes

Yes it's absolutely a rivalry and Notre Dame treats it as such.

durandal

9/28/22 6:52am

They do no treat it like a rivalry. This is a tradition game not a rival school.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:08am

Well, most people I know there treat it like a rivalry. So 🤷🏼‍♂️

durandal

9/28/22 9:36am

Unless you are an alum I would guess you know less people there then I do, I am their 6-10x a year at ND.

Cougstreak

9/28/22 9:44am

Yes I understood the first time you posted it. I disagree and have good reason to.

durandal

7-4** since 2011

Utah state has a better all time record vs byu then byu does vs Utah.

That’s sort of like saying germany is the biggest threat to the USA right now

here's to hoping

9/28/22 8:17am

The way Germany has botched European energy and pulled us into their mess

Just looked at stats and realized that BYU and Utah st didn’t play in 2020. I

here's to hoping

9/28/22 8:28am

Ive always wondered why we played BSU & SDSU in 2020 but not USU? Anyone know?

Kolipoki

9/28/22 10:51am

My exact point. The most recent 10 years is more relevant than the last 40.

RdF3

9/28/22 8:30am

I might agree with you that the last decade matters, but there are a few

That's a dangerous road to go down considering Utah is 9-1 over the last 10 with

cougarfan84

9/28/22 5:37am

Do BYU fans care that much about USU?

Cougstreak

9/28/22 5:43am

USU is typically played the Friday night before General Conference. For me, I

cougarfan84

9/28/22 7:33am

Well fans stormed the field after beating usu about 8 years ago or whenever that was.

RdF3

9/28/22 9:29am

Was thinking the same thing.

Bradleyd16

9/28/22 9:22am

I do. Not all rivalries are equal. UU>USU>BSU-SDS- & St Mary’s in MB.

SouthernBlueBlood

9/28/22 5:42am

Sure it is. It is an in state school we play often and compete with for recruits

BYUtka

9/28/22 6:23am

BYU-USU has been more competitive than BYU-Utah

Backcountry

Don't you have a Rose Bowl loss to be celebrating? 🌹🌹🐊🐊🌹🌹

BYUtka

Bottom 5 poster on CB. Keep up the good work.

Backcountry

9/28/22 7:23am

Huh?

BYUtka

9/28/22 7:29am

6-4 vs 1-9. This isnt hard.

Backcountry

9/28/22 8:35am

That isn't what I'm asking "huh?" about.

BYUtka

9/28/22 8:39am

What lacks in competition is made up for by their 80% rate in injuring our QB

Malacis

9/28/22 6:36am

(in last 10 meetings)

Malacis

Well, they are invested. They subsidize our tuition. We don’t subsidize theirs.

ColdFusion1989

9/28/22 7:04am

How do those who are in utah not pay taxes to utah....which subsidizes utah state

coot20

9/28/22 8:52am

You are right. Those sneaky heifers.

ColdFusion1989

All in-state games that are played each year should be considered rivalries

DCCougFan

9/28/22 7:07am

Its for sure a rivalry, maybe not arch rivals but it's a rivalry on three counts

Avery

9/28/22 7:36am

I totally agree, add a 4th- the bitter hatred from their fanbase = rivalry

DCCougFan

9/28/22 9:38am

Rivalry is about far more than records. That being said, USU Who?

Gorum the Old

9/28/22 9:48am

That’s just an in-state game. Our real rival is Baylor.

Robbinoburrito

9/28/22 9:53am

I measure a rivalry by how bad I’d feel about a loss. Losing to USU would be

sunjieming

9/28/22 10:12am

That loss to UMASS makes them a great rival then. Cause that was truly PAINFUL

TheRowdy

9/28/22 10:36am

Do you have UMASS fans giving you grief all year? That’s a way different type

sunjieming

9/28/22 10:48am

I was being facetious. You didn't mention living with fans, just "pain"

TheRowdy

9/28/22 12:20pm

Weber State is more a rival for USU. they should play that annually.

TunaNoCrust

9/28/22 10:27am

Only if you're talking winning games, but how about number of QBs injured?

akbarishiwatsu

9/28/22 10:27am

I do. It's still a rivalry when you win.

Great38

9/28/22 11:54am

What does losing 9 out of 10 mean then?

GilbertAZCougar

9/28/22 12:47pm

Sitake and staff have done so in the recent past.

InlandEmpYre

9/28/22 1:25pm

I’d be careful with that. Turns out 9/10 is an even higher percentage
