    Sounds like you live in a great neighborhood.
    I used to have a really good neighbor to banter with, but he moved away, and frankly with the game not being played recently, it is pretty sad for rivalry banter. The BYU grads in my ward are all the nerdiest nerds that ever nerded, though. That's for sure.

      Shocking.

Glad to see that it would appear that the Big 12 is going to force a rivalry game annually in November as it should be. Balance has been restored and everything is right in the world again.
          Not fully balanced yet.. Once BYU notches about 8 consecutive wins.. Then, will I feel it has balanced out..

            Iowa State could be turning into a dumpster fire.

            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."

                  Agreed. Utah should reject the offer to join the B12 out of principle.

                    Is this the first official win by XII BYU?

                      Pretty sure it was just an exhibition.

                        Yup. First two games are exhibitions, but Rutgers is a solid opponent and good program. Next game vs Idaho St. Is Saturday in Provo and broadcast on BYUTV and espn+.

                        I just saw one expert projecting Rutgers as #1 in the Big Ten.

                              I am sure that BYU will have all these issues with Big12 members sorted out before we join up.

                                BYU fans have a built-in dislike for Iowa State as some of their students campaigned to keep us out during an earlier round of expansion.
