blow up the MWC should fit comfortably by the perception that Mormons have horns.

Just because some haters believe it doesn't make it so.

And, really, the idea that the MWC just started hating BYU after we left is laughably ridiculous.

Yep. What schools have dominated a conference the way BYU did in the WAC and,

The real reason they hate is is that (a) BYU is a religious school and (b) BYU

johnnycarson

I disagree

Gustav

2/21/18 9:22am

sure, if we were in the p5 we would eventually be competitive. not

johnnycarson

To be far the P5 wins were against below average to bad teams.

Not in football and Bball, the two sports that really matter...

DocUte

Thompson blew up the WAC, not the other way around.

boscatar

They hated us for years. It's nothing new.

BYU dominated the WAC/MWC across all sports for 30 years. Gonna make enemies.

ag4cougs

2/21/18 9:53am

And most of the MWC also had a yewt-like opposition to the Church as a result.

TailgateU

2/21/18 10:45am

Lolzzzzz. A lot of Utah fans are LDS soooo...

DocUte

2/21/18 4:57pm

Sure, but those who aren't care as much about the Church as the BYU. You know

TailgateU

I honestly don’t see it.

The U of Utah hosts the majority of the LDS/Utah counterculture.

Yes, i remember when BYU won 1st through 6th places in the men’s 800 meter in track in 2001. Was common across events.

They hate BYU because they stink, and we don't care about them because of it.

They all hated us long before the split...but who cares if they hate BYU?

Cyclogist

BYU was treated poorly by some (most?) of the MWC schools for many

Rocketman

It is great to be hated.
