    BYU: The most hated team in the country.

    I was looking back over this 1992 SI article about how hated BYU is. I particularly enjoyed this line:

    "Outsiders charge that as long as BYU remains in the WAC, its schedule—with pushovers UTEP, New Mexico, Utah State and Utah—can never be taken seriously."

      Was Utah State in the WAC when BYU was in the WAC?

      Wow. I didn't know that.

        in the 18 years since that article appeared in SI, the Utes have certainly gone from a mention only as BYU's rival, to being invited to the Pac-10, winning 2 BCS bowl games, two top 5 finishes. Gladly, I don't think anyone will ever write an article about Utah like this one.

          Just not dominant enough I guess.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              That's funny that you felt the need to explain that.

                  That entire article missed the point why BYU is so hated. It's because of zoobs. And because zoobs are constant, things will never change.

                            Because the LDS church wants an institute of higher learning.
