if a team is not a blue blood.
Don't worry about what other people think of BYU. Instead of whining about how disrespected BYU is, BYU just needs to take care of business and earn respect.
When I was slacking in school as a kid, my dad would say, "put your head down and your butt up and get to work."
BYU had that respect back in Lavell's time because they were innovative. BYU lost that and now they have to earn it back by putting their head down and their butt up, rather than worrying what the internet says.
It will take time and consistency.
