Both head coaches (football and basketball) really endeared themselves and BYU to Wyoming fans. These two “quotes” are still mentioned today by Wyoming fans as reason to hate BYU. They have a long memory.
“I'd rather lose and live in Provo than win and live in Laramie," LaVell Edwards said after suffering a 33-20 loss in 1981 to Wyoming in a snowstorm in Laramie.”
Frank Arnold called Wyoming fans despicable.
