Gaslighting? How? I don't see the issue. I don't agree with all...but he's pretty accurate here. B12 and BYU

fans made a mistake, IMO, attacking the Utah program when it didn't drop everything and jump over to the Big 12.

While Utah has its flaws, I don't know of any school in the Big 12 that doesn't. Further, Utah has accomplished a lot more than most other programs of late.

There are a handful of reasons why the Pac-10 staying together would've been better for Utah.

Utah played it perfectly. Try to keep things together if possible, knowing they always had a Big 12 offer.

Gaslighting 101: Ute gives an "official response" as to why everyone hates them

Yeah, the USC rivalry thing was pretty hilarious. I've heard several Ute fans comment about that, as if USC

I hope the B12--and BYU--have an answer for the entitled new fans.

This Ute fan just gave us pure gold. The gaslighting is that he completely omits

It's also funny how they paint BYU fans as villains, yet Big 12 fans ...

Yep, this is almost the biggest I told you so moment for BYU to Utah fans.

It’s the pacs own fault it’s gone. Hubris into irrelevance. Utah helped kill it

It's a crying shame that your team isn't gone with it. Agreed

Yes and no. BYU fans have this awkward perspective on Utah

TFL

Jun 20, 1:52pm

I appreciate that a Utah fan is the most rational among all the CB constituents

311polo

Jun 20, 2:50pm

Not as a primary rival, but they certainly viewed it as a budding rivalry

311polo

Jun 20, 2:47pm

So, that whole thing is just a yewt defending why they have a right to act

Mitty

And that it's everyone else's fault they act the way they do.

Nah...Big 12 doesn't hate Utah at all. Just a few twitter guys. But it's smart to troll them. Utah as the villain
