That's all KW is playing for right now. BYU fans still have this WAC mentality where you have to go undefeated.

But no one is going to that in the new era of CFB outside the elite programs. Even then.

Hopefully once butthead Whit retires the UM mentality curse will slowly lift.

This is such an odd question by him. Ute fans take the same pleasure

Even after all this time they've never forgotten or forgiven the fact that BYU owned them for almost 25+ seasons

They conflated the pride of winning an NC with being arrogant.

Isn't that a bit of a "scarcity mentality?"

Most students there are BYU rejects.

I don’t think so. Most want nothing of what BYU has to offer.

Not to mention they went out of their way to torpedo BYU’s independence plan.
