POLL: Would you like to play USU regularly in basketball?

BYUCLA

11:34am

Yes, but only alternating between Marriott and Delta Center

Gustav

11:35am

it gives them legitimacy and we always seem to lose money on these

Archaea

11:36am

Whatever happens, they will complain. Utah owes them games far more than BYU

Gustav

11:38am

This. BYU is a national school seeking to improve and owes the state nothing.

Archaea

11:41am

lose money? If our fans will sell out the stadium and pay big prices for 8 Q4

The fans there are toxic and petty. I like contests with fans where the fans

Archaea

11:38am

We're in the Big 12 now. Give it some time, USU won't be that bad, in comparison, probably.

SinkingQuffa

11:41am

I like contests against Kansas, Houston, Baylor, UCF or Arizona.

Archaea

11:42am

But it's tradition, man. USU has done pretty well for themselves over the years.

SinkingQuffa

11:44am

It's not a tradition national tvs care about. If we want to be a national

Archaea

11:45am

By dropping a historical rival who's one of he better G5 programs out there? No thanx. Let the SEC & B1G

SinkingQuffa

11:48am

We do that in how our players conduct themselves, a la Kansas State not by

Archaea

11:50am

Most USU fans don't hate BYU. That's the crowd scum. There's PLENTY of that in Big12, too. Just wait till we've

SinkingQuffa

Unable to quantify but enough hate BYU to make the relationship toxic. It's more

Seems like from a resume standpoint we have benefited from playing @ USU.

BYUCLA

11:37am

Now that we are in the Big XII, it's not at the top of my list

Huge Manatee

11:36am

our nonconference schedule sucks. USU series is an easy way to get a more

cwilke1

11:40am

So give us Kentucky, UNC, UConn, Syracuse et al. Not USU, Weber State

Archaea

11:44am

I am fine with the big names too. But to get those bigger names to come to

cwilke1

11:51am

BYU has a big time arena, and atmosphere that tv loves.

Archaea

11:53am

All of our Q4 home nonconference games last season were on ESPN+. TV channels

cwilke1

11:58am

And we remain on ESPN+ with USU

Archaea

12:23pm

ok but USU is a much more interesting game. If you're not in-state, why do you

cwilke1

12:27pm

Definitely more interest in in-state or regional games

CameronG

12:40pm

I'm not defending the low level games because I'd rather seen high level games

Archaea

3:01pm

USU fans aren't any more toxic than Utah fans, were you advocating for canceling

CameronG

3:16pm

Yes. I also opposed bringing them into the Big XII.

Archaea

3:19pm

When we were MWC I hated big teams ducking us. I think we man up and beat them in the spectrum once every 3rd year.

The 435

11:42am

Do you want national exposure or just exposure in the state of Utah?

Archaea

11:45am

our 8 Q4 home games sure aren't giving us national exposure.

cwilke1

11:53am

We did that before we knew what sort of team we were going to have. Win big this

Archaea

11:54am

that's bogus - our nonconf schedule was announced after we already had Demin

cwilke1

11:59am

But hadn't won a game. If BYU does great this year and signs another bevy of

Archaea

And NOT be scared of losing to them every now & again. USU is a good program. Even w KY's recruiting

SinkingQuffa

12:16pm

Now that they are Pac 12 I believe we can only beg them for Away-Home-Away.

ProvoY

11:46am

The results of this poll show the predominance of Utah based fans. Local fans

Archaea

11:48am

No.......... unless it is a 3 to 1 or something like Home, Home, Delta, Away.

Most P5 programs don't play more than 1-2 road games OOC

BYU Fan

12:03pm

I'd favor every year with a four-game rotation of 1H, 1A, 2N in the Delta center

Mitty

12:08pm

I don't mind it, they're usually a quality team and it's a usually a Q1 or Q2

CameronG

12:30pm

There’s no reason in basketball not to schedule in-state teams.

Yukon

12:30pm

I don't mind a 2-for-1 with Weber
