Had a Utah fan ask me why BYU fans take so much pleasure in their losing

Mr. Rumsfield

Short answer: Yewt fans.

Hopefully once butthead Whit retires the UM mentality curse will slowly lift.

Maybe they can miss a few bowl games before he retired and the mentality can

Scalley played for both Meyer and Whitt, so little change expected

RenoCoug

Scalley is more like McBride than KWhit. He’s nothing like Urban—much better.

This is such an odd question by him. Ute fans take the same pleasure

LifeLongLakerFan

Even after all this time they've never forgotten or forgiven the fact that BYU owned them for almost 25+ seasons

They conflated the pride of winning an NC with being arrogant.

Any Ute fan knows the answer. There is a lot of taunting, unless you're new in

Most students there are BYU rejects.

I don’t think so. Most want nothing of what BYU has to offer.
