  • "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" - The Rivalry Thread

    One of the best things about BYU being the biggest story in college football so far this season is watching the reaction from Ute fans. Twitter and social media are comedy gold right now. In hindsight, it makes Chris Hill's comment a few weeks ago about Ute fans not caring about BYU especially funny. They care. A LOT.

    Use this thread to share fun anecdotes of the allegedly dead rivalry.

    BTW, UCLA obviously understands how deeply BYU is in Utah's head right now.

    There's this thread at UB5 with a couple thousand posts where Utes remind themselves of how over BYU they are. As a bonus you get to see LAU hyperventilating about mean and dirty BYU.

      Mean and dirty doesn't mean you can't be loved. Look at the Raiders.

        From Sancho:

        I agree. I vote for a merge. For those who are embarrassed that we talk about our rival sometimes, we can delete/erase/reset that thread every year or every month to make it look shorter. Personally, I don't care how long it is. It seems to really give tooblue a great deal of joy, and he probably could use all the joy he can get up there.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          That other thread is a disgrace. It's long and boring and anyone reading here sees that it is by far the most viewed on the site. Weak and lame for a Utah sports forum.

            LAUte with stadium smack.

            BTW, I failed to mention that our stadium is prettier. Beautiful sandstone beats battleship gray.*

                U-Ute (most unimaginative name ever) claims it's all big joke on BYU fans.

                Viking: you need to understand something. This thread is the bait
                that keeps the BYU fans from trolling all of the other threads.*

                    Poor utes. BYU getting all this positive national pub and they can't do anything about it other than lots of whiny posts on social media.

                      If the Utes can beat FSU this week, they will get some pub.

                        Yesterday a couple of Utah season ticket holders were outside my door talking about how great the U's games have been, yet how frustrating it is that BYU has had these amazing endings to get all of the national publicity.

                        Poor Gunther was having a fit insisting that the U's two wins are more impressive than BYU's - talking about beating a Big 10 team and a MWC team.

                        Someone needs to remind him that the Big10 team BYU beat was on the road. And the MWC team BYU beat was ranked. Utah will have a good strength of schedule before it is all said and done, but thus far BYU's has got to be better.

                              If they beat Fresno State by 70 they won't get any pub. That team is atrocious.
