If only we weren't afraid of Ute fans keying our cars.

No joke. I live in Bountiful, but work in SL Co. Exactly why I don't buy one.

Just think how much $$ the state could make if it issued a “PAC12” plate?!?

Or a U with a rose?

Senora Featherbottom

Wouldn't even need the U.

Conversely, ute fans know they have nothing to fear from BYU fans.

I'm kind of in that category. . .

I have Y plates and I have never experienced any of this type of harassment.

This is correct. I consider Y plates and Y decals for my vehicles most years-

This. The number is skewed. Guessing 90% of Utah grads stay in Utah, while less

90% of Utah grads still haven't left their parents' basements

I have to admit, whenever I see a Utes plate, I mumble, “That’s rich.”

Approx. 2/3rds of our alumni live outside of Utah. 99% of theirs live in-state.

The new Ensign College plates will be unveiled soon to replace the LDSBC plate.

Fun fact… the prisoners making all of the plates are also Utes fans.

Ned Schneebly

I think we're missing the obvious reason. 80% of BYU is from out of state

2 out of 3 of my cars have "Y" plates. It was 3 for 3 until my wife found out
