I have a bunch of UCF fan friends from my time living in Orlando. I also have a couple friends in the Baylor, Houston, and TCU fanbases also.

We’ve had conversation over the last two years about how much they liked our fanbase, how we travel well, the atmosphere at LES, what a good add BYU was to the conference, etc. This year however, many of our conversations have been about how much they hate Utah and how it takes such a bad program/fanbase for BYU to hate them, because BYU doesn’t hate people. Comments like “I hate them after 1 year, how have you put up with them for so long”. Many have said that BYU is now their second team they cheer for in the league.(not just because we carry the B12 banner this year)

One exception though is my TCU friend. He said, “We dealt with them in the MWC like you…..we’ve always hated Utah and weren’t happy they were invited.”
