It’s about taking every and any calculated measure to destroy our program.
It’s the reason why they did not advocate for us when they joined the PAC. The reason why on their way out of the MWC, THEY leaked our plans to go Indy/WAC in non-football sports to Hair Thompson. It’s why they have stopped scheduling us at times in FB and BB. It’s the reason why they cannot even refer to us as BYU.
For Utah, the hatred and toxicity towards BYU runs so deep that they will go to any end to make sure BYU is not relevant.
But the tables are turning. The Big 12 and BYU may be soon in a point of leverage, once the PAC self-implodes. Utah will come crawling, hanging by a thread between life and death….
And you want to throw them a life vest? After all they have done to us?
So yes, I would love to avoid the feeling of Harline catching a game winning TD in the endzone if it means that we can eliminate Utah from any form of future relevance. Effectively relegate their trash fanbase to the depths of G5 football and end their program.
That would be bring me more joy than beating them 100x in a row. For the Yewts, it’s personal. Their goal is end to us. So why should our goal just be to beat them? Reciprocate that toxicity one final time and never have to deal with those jokers again.
