Belboz Intervention Needed

And that's the only answer

And when Utah fans think it's just us, they need to look around.
Any fan base that has much contact with them feel the same way.
Utah fans act like BYU fans are the problem, but what's happened in the Big 12 should make it obvious how wrong they were.

Had a Utah fan ask me why BYU fans take so much pleasure in their losing

Sep 29, 11:34pm

Short answer: Yewt fans.

And that's the only answer

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

Maybe they can miss a few bowl games before he retired and the mentality can

Scalley played for both Meyer and Whitt, so little change expected

RenoCoug

Scalley is more like McBride than KWhit. He’s nothing like Urban—much better.

Because they have an inflated sense of superiority in many ways. They act like

That’s just it. Look at their conference records by season. Sure, it’s

Saturday night my young son and I were listening to the Utah game on the radio.

That's why I like being able to play them this year.

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

LifeLongLakerFan

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.

Any Ute fan knows the answer. There is a lot of taunting, unless you're new in

Most students there are BYU rejects.

GoodGuyGary1

Sep 30, 12:09am

I wouldn't say most.

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

It was true 25 years ago when I was there.

a lot has changed since than, They had never heard of Urban Meyer nor had any

To me it comes off as lame and feeds the negativity.

Many were pre-application BYU rejects.

UU offered my son a full ride; BYU offered nothing but admission. He chose BYU.

Sep 30, 7:43am

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

What is your average # of losses the past 3 years during the height of your program's history? Also, when was your last

9+ win average in the CFP era is phenomenal. I don't know that loss counts matter if the goal is to get to the CCG
