They are the academic high point in Michigan, so the first insult from wolverines to in-state rivals is "you're just jealous you couldnt get into UM." It's an arrogant attitude, and I really wish BYU students would never utter anything similar.

Not true. We got into B12 because of our fan base who aren’t all grads.

I'd say Maddog took a big step in gaining some allegiance tonight. Good for him.

With comments like this, it's a wonder why Utah, USU, & UVU team up against BYU.

Well, Utah doesn't play either of them.

I think the point is that many BYU fans assume UoU/UVU/USU grads all failed to..

It’s a joke guys. Lighten up. Fact that it riles folks up is pretty funny.

I wonder how you feel about BYU fans who couldn’t get into BYU?

I didn’t go to BYU ever, am a bigger fan than most, and I loathe comments like this. BYU isn’t all that for education.

Oh, and by the way, I’ve done better financially than 99% of BYU grads. So what exactly did I miss out on by

You didn’t miss much. Loved my time at BYU but I would have had the same

BYU for me is nothing more than my team. My brand. I love it, always will.

Nice. Combat BYU snobbery with snobbery.

JupiterJones

Meh. Not snobbery. Just factual. And I’ve been lucky based on circumstances and network.

mulletino

Facts and snobbery aren't mutually exclusive. Smarten up, son.

You can keep calling me a snob all day if it makes you feel better. But I’m not that type of person. You chose to read

It really isn't unique to BYU. Happens at every single school. 🤣
