Games fans actually care about - rivalries of sorts. BSU, USU, SDSU from MWC generate the most fan interest. Utah and just about any PAC team generate interest. Hopefully Big 12 games will generate interest since that will be our conference. BAM. Throw in a warm up game in Provo and there is an interesting schedule and with at least 7 home or advantaged neutral site games per season - scheduled like the big boys schedule.

BYU is a National Brand. I think we shouldn’t schedule regional schools as

I know it’s a taboo subject but Utah is also a national brand, especially the past 10 years

Utah is seen more as the chippy G5 that has a really good year and fades away

What's awesome about that...is that's what they said about the BCS, then about the Sugar Bowl...then about P5 entry

Yall were far better in 04 and 08 than last year. At least yall won some OOC.

FieroCoug

1/25/22 7:38pm

Yes. I think Utah looks at 2021 the same way they may have looked at 2003 or the stronger 2007 finish.

Yes yes, we're all impressed by the team that won the 8th best conference

Exactly. Utah did nothing except for lose in the rose bowl and win the 8th conf.

Can’t argue that…Utes have maximized the opportunity in front of them.

Utah is only a national brand if you consider every P5 school a national brand.

Megamind

1/25/22 7:08pm

By that metric, BYU also isn't a national brand - very few are

krindorr

1/25/22 8:06pm

Maybe, but BYU is much closer to a national brand than Utah. Even when BYU has

Megamind

BYU and Utah perform almost the exact same in viewership (when controlled for time, channel, opponent, etc)

That analysis ignores a lot of hugely important factors, like team ranking and

We need to play along west coast since all conf games will be east of us- TONS

Boise, Utah and Utah Sate are not located in California. So bring on California

All the members in CA are leaving in a mass exodus

Plenty of members staying in CA and many more great additions like Jamaal

With a Big 12 schedule they can still schedule Utah every year....

Here's how you know BYU is a national brand

KSL Utes are going to have to fact check this and then decide to ignore it;)

Georgia, Clemson, and Iowa are national brands compared to their rivals too…

It was lame when Utah big-timed us by dropping BYU for a H-H with Florida

Regional rivalries are interesting and BYU will play 8 or 9 games outside of

Also the core of our recruiting base

which is why we should have at least one MW each year but mix it up between different schools other than Boise and USU

Looking at the numbers, we massively overestimate our own importance

I'd like to play Boise State every other year.

pappabear246

1/26/22 12:04am

So we should invent fake rivalries like Utah VS Colorado? Sorry not a fan.

canofpicante

1/26/22 12:23am

Go ahead and cancel with Utah, there is plenty of desire for it to be cancelled on this side as well
