that the Big 12 admin / FOX / ESPN all wanted Utah...and Utah could come any time they wanted.

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

Mostlyaccurate

"Yes Utah and its fans hate leaving our rivalry with USC." Meanwhile, USC:

Didn’t Caleb do that every game against every team?

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

And some constructive advice

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

BlooCoug

Ummm... He mentions repeatedly that Ute fans are trashy (I won't use his word)

Being terrible to "other" fans has been their identity. They've relished this

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

Bossk82

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

I assume you were having a civil conversation with the UW fan(s).

thirdgencoug

Jun 20, 1:43pm

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

Jun 20, 10:34am

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

The specific shots at BYU clearly accentuate that they know their true rival...

I don't have a problem with Ute fans trying to save the PAC12.

So now Utah and their fans are the victims? Do you need a cry closet? Oh wait, you guys already have some.

AZ, AZ St and Colorado were in the same place and aren’t hated by the big12

Southpawn

Only a few ppl on that train. Almost all BYU guys. But those other schools were more ambivalent with the P10

TFL

Jun 20, 6:45pm

Umm, that’s his point. The Big12 hates you because of who you have

thirdgencoug

Jun 20, 8:16pm

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

TFL

Wait, if the Big12 likes you, and the naysayers are just a few

thirdgencoug

Big 12 loves Utah...good luck finding any coach, AD, Big 12 admin who disagrees. To clarify, yes, only a few guys on X

So you really do think you are at the controls of the Big12 ship.
