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

[Applejack]

Which is all to say, I hope the Utes go the B10

me too!!!

[Green Monstah]

Why on earth would the B1G want Utah?

Another team Iowa can beat?

Anybody follow the big dustup today? That unhinged lunatic PigBus (despised by BYU fans and most Utah fans alike) started posting again and went off with a bunch of vile, disgusting tweets, many of which were directed at Jarom Jordan. Shortly thereafter, THE UTAH AD HIMSELF quote-tweeted him. He deleted it a few minutes later, but holy cow. How on earth does this happen? Harlan truly is an idiot.

It’s likely that Harlan doesn’t run his own social media account and instead has an athletic department staff member run it for him. Still, it’s a bad look.

I have been off twitter for a while, but pigbus (by his own admission) is mostly just a schtick.

He grew up a brown non-Mormon (well, until he converted…and later left) in Delta. That probably leaves you with a few scars.

Harlan is a clown.

I think the far more likely explanation is that he has a burner account and he forgot to switch.

Mostly a schtick. What does that even mean in this context?

He must hate his own fanbase because a portion of the B12 dislike of the Utah fanbase was caused by him.

That's a funny theory/excuse. I spent a few years of my childhood in Delta.

It means he really doesn’t like BYU, but he’s just trolling for a reaction. Successfully, it appears. Last we texted, he was trying to head up an NIL collective (which was a couple of years ago). I’m sure it stings that he’s struggling to keep up with his counterparts down south. In real conversations, he’s a normal, sane-adjacent guy.

But with ticks. Like those you’d expect from an Asian dude who was an outsider during his formative years in a rural Utah town!

Why do you text Pig Bus?

[Green Monstah]

Why do you text Pig Bus?

Because he started an NIL collective (and for a while, it was for for multiple schools), and I was interested in the idea.

not a bad guy. But he will troll…like a mofo.

His schtick is to be the biggest asshole in his fanbase? And make most Utah fans hate him too? To what end?

That's not a schtick, that's stupidity. Or mental illness.

Such a weird, petty bunch in that AD office.

Was listening the DJ&PK last week and they were interviewing Chris Hill about a variety of things. They hit on Alex Jensen and the basketball program and the challenge of getting fans out to the Dumpsman Center. Hill acknowledged the challenge but countered that MBB attendance is down across the country. DJ&PK countered with the obvious that BYU is having no problem just down the road, I thought in an attempt to allow Hill to give some hopeful outlook about the crowds coming back as Jensen brings success to the program. Instead he noted how BYU is always able to generate good crowds for all its programs, almost praise in a way, but then couldn't help himself and ended with a "and you know what we say the real reason is for those crowds."

I don't get it. What is the real reason for the crowds? We have a passionate fanbase that cares about sports?

[Moliere]

Wait, what do they say is the real reason for those crowds? I’m lost on that comment.

[Green Monstah]

Cheap shot inferring it’s just religious affiliation?
