Haven't you ever heard of a Participation Award?

Their own handsign is reflective of their values.

No. Defend it. Why is BYU hanging banners for Utah wins in their home stadium?

Haha so on brand for you

Poseidon

Is it making you want to meet me and fight?

Sure. I’ll fight you if you want, but it will be boring for me. Why do the Jazz

Poseidon

3/24/23 11:36am

Agreed, it is weird for a team to be so proud of a loss to a rival that they hang a banner.

Classic case of needing to get the beam out of your own eye before worrying about the splinter in ours.

You have a beam, too, FYI.

benny1982

P12 champ rings are a beam? Meh.

No, just generally speaking about how Utah fans and BYU fans are the same b/c

benny1982

Yeah I’ll actually agree with you there.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:28am

Any examples of BYU celebrating losses like Yewts Celebrate the Rose Bowl

BYUtka

3/25/23 9:23am

Do they? Is it with the collection of Bowl participation banners? Seems like

BYUtka

3/24/23 11:29am

Lol participation banners. That’s a whole lot better.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:30am

Does Utah not list all the games they play in media guides, etc? If you can't

BYUtka

3/24/23 11:35am

A media guide is the same as putting up a loss banner in your home stadium? Lol ok.

Virginia Ute

It’s pretty funny how it triggers BYU fans, I’ll give those guys that.

"trigger" not the right word. We find it "hilarious" or "bizarre. easy target!

It is one thing for a school to put up a plaque commemerating a bowl appearance

BlueVU

Ah so putting roses on a tweet is the same as hanging a holy war loss banner in your stadium. Got it.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:37am

No, they are VERY different. That is what we are saying. Listing your NCAA

BYUtka

3/24/23 11:41am

I’ll agree it’s not the same. One of them is more embarrassing.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:42am

The big difference is no BYU fans celebrate that loss. Utes, on the other hand..

Bossk82

Desert Rat

So since we lost to you in one bowl we should take down all the bowl loss

SoBlueitHurts

3/24/23 11:43am

Yeah you should. It’s not that impressive playing in and losing in a Las Vegas bowl.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:45am

BYU bowl record since 2017: 3-2. Utah's 0-4.

Tattoos not a great comparison, given the religious implications. There are like 2 byu fans with tattoos.

Virginia Ute

3/24/23 11:40am

There are two BYU fans in my house with tattoos. Half the fan base is Polynesian. But you are right. Not a lot

Granted our bowl banners are dumb. But it doesn't compare.

Doesn’t compare to having a P12 champ ring? How do? The rings are made every year for the winning team.

Virginia Ute

No one is criticizing making rings. It's the fact that the rings have roses.

Does USC have their Las Vegas bowl loss banner up in the coleseum?

USC doesn't have any bowl banners in the coliseum. 55 banners would be nuts.

Jeffacka

I would be in favor of taking down the bowl banners and that has no bearing here

All-American

3/24/23 1:37pm

Difference is the fans. I have never heard or seen our fans point at the banners

TheRowdy

3/24/23 1:44pm

That tradition started when making a bowl was an accomplishment. Now you can

3/24/23 2:39pm

I think it started well after that.

All-American

3/24/23 5:05pm

The bowls in the 70's were few enough it is worth celebrating, even if they did

SoBlueitHurts

3/24/23 5:18pm

I think it may have been lavell’s last game when they first hung it.

All-American

3/24/23 6:53pm

Hmm thought it was earlier

yahtzee

3/24/23 10:10pm

My guess is that none of us or no more than 1 of us put that up there.

Belboz

3/24/23 12:09pm

"You guys." No, one guy who put that up. Cougar fans never talk about it.

Brandoblueblood

3/24/23 1:45pm

That's actually pretty funny. Touche.

VenomFarmer

3/24/23 2:53pm

Yep, that shouldn't be up. Only wins should be up there.

How long did BYU fans have dice emojis in their Twitter handles after that?

Lol, clearly that's a sign that all of us think about on the regular.
