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

[USUC]

I have been forced to listen to the Zone today as the lab next to my office is getting work done and that's what they are listening to. The zone is now KSL owned as is embarrassingly Ute fan boy. Like it's beyond just coverage. It's very pro pac-12 and hostile to the Big-XII. I don't get how a ksl product is this bad.

Wasn't sure where to put this.

Is there any objective measurement that compares the "value" of Utah to BYU from media standpoint?

Points that may factor in. I don't know

• I'll start with the hardest pill for me to swallow. Utah football has been superior to BYU for the last decade, and most of the 2000s
• BYU men's basketball has been more consistent that Utah for the last decade. Though some how Kysko got a team into the Sweet 16.
• Utah is a better fit for the P12 (and B10) due to their research and non-religious affiliation
• Sports other than the big 2? BYU probably better, but let's be honest. No one cares
• TV ratings. I think BYU still pulls better numbers within Utah. I could be wrong about this one, but I know during the Utes Fiesta Bowl years that abysmal BYU teams had higher ratings
• National footprint. This is the biggest difference between the 2 universities. Due to the affiliation with the CoJCoLDS BYU will always bring more fans to random away games, and put eyes on TV's outside the Wasatch front.

I really see little difference between the two programs, tbh. BYU has more of a legacy and better branding, but Utah has more recent success. Winning will do a lot for your program. And getting the invite to the PAC payed dividends.

I keep saying it--we're in the same boat. There are tumultuous times ahead in college football for both of us.

Bad take and bad spelling. Or is that just your background with the Navy shining through.

No ideas if AB in SLC is a real place. Sounds like a South Park strip club name. The BYU one made me chuckle.

I would agree with the UNLV selection.

No kidding. And Art Vandelay's might be the second worst.

Art and Bo probably own one of these bad boys:

Having been a both a traveler and a connoisseur of strip clubs in my younger, less spiritual days, I would agree with most of the selections except Louisville and Syracuse.

Ute Twitter in meltdown mode because BYU names new facility at LES, "Club 22". Good grief.

Kind of a dumb name. Given the fact Utah somehow finds a way to make it about them and find offense - I LOVE IT!

Good hell. What a bunch of goobers.

When I think of #22 I think of Mike Salido.
