    No we're not. Utah cancelling the games reinforces that Utah is now on a higher tier and really the cost-benefit analysis of continuing the series doesn't pencil out for Utah. This is what's most damaging to BYU and why BYU is now always the side that wants the game the most at any level--fans, coaches, administrators. Kentucky refused to play Louisville for decades; it only plays that one game now because Louisville finally earned it. I think it's been really stupid of UW and Wasu to keep playing Gonzaga, although now that they've lost repeatedly to Gonzaga they're kind of stuck. But here in Washington they really don't get tribalism and blood feuds. This is the perfect moment to show BYU how little Utah respect them. When Utah has beaten BYU repeatedly.

    Those Ute fans who support this are the ones who really take the Rivalry most seriously, because they're the ones who want to actually kill BYU, to utterly destroy BYU, by any means necessary. I'm sure Kyle wants to be done with BYU forever. The Ute fans like LAUte and Applejack who are not on Larry's and Chris's side must secretly love BYU, which disappoints me greatly. BYU delenda est!
    Oh, so it's not really about the safety of your preciously delicate basketball players. Bet you'd love to get coach larry brett and the good doctor on the stand.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        I have made my opinion known about whether I think it was a good decision. Beyond that, why should I care?
        JL, shut down the message board. We shouldn't care about or discuss things that are beyond our control.

          You really believe this? You really believe, in the face of all the statements made by your AD and coach, and by BYU's AD and coach, and byt the nearly universal ridicule that this move is receiving that this is the best thing for Utah to do? If so, then you really are just a shrill blow hard who dopesnt appreciate sports and wants nothing more than to hear himself talk. And it leaves me with one thing to say, echoing prior comments we have seen here:

          F U. We're done.

            Safety is a pretext. I agree. The whole overwrought, poisonous rivalry doesn't work for Utah anymore. BYU has a lot more to gain, and Utah has a lot more to lose. It's that simple.

                Because it makes your alma mater look ridiculous?
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  No we're not, I still love you guys apart from your identity as BYU fans. But it's not us who have tried to ethnically cleanse our board.

                    I'm so confused.

                      But your basketball team has.

                        But you, of all people, know very well what I meant by that phrase.

                          Did you mean "ethnically"? I hope not, but thought I'd check.
