I've never understood the Boise st hate from our fans

I'd be cool with BSU if we had a winning record against them. But since we don't

I think it's awesome that they got a 3 seed. I'm glad BYU is part of it now but

coventry94

12/31/24 2:31pm

No idea who you hang out with

cajuncoug

12/31/24 4:30pm

and their hatred of BYU is rooted in religious bigotry

MoapaCoug

Yeah, I had so many people day bigoted things

coventry94

No more than other fanbases

28% of the Boise valley are LDS and many are BSU fans… you are always going to

Can't stand the Donkey Yewts and their stupid Smurf turf...it's cheating!!

imdocrob

It is!!! Just like Notre Dame when they wear all greens! Wait...

12/31/24 1:13pm

Yeah wait . . . ND only wears green jerseys . . . Try again.

LakeshowCougs

Sure.

coventry94

Human eyes differentiate shades of green much better than they do shades of blue

Ski-U-Mah

12/31/24 1:30pm

If being able to see players dressed in blue was a problem then BSU

coventry94

12/31/24 2:02pm

On the other hand, the QB knows where his receiver are going. The D doesn’t.

Ski-U-Mah

Knifed my car. Fanbasw resembles utefans just not quite as dark

Dr MoBYU

12/31/24 8:26pm

BYU fans act just like Utah fans did once they got in the pac-12

CaliforniaCougar22

12/31/24 10:04am

BYU disliked BSU long before that.

Jeffacka

12/31/24 10:06am

Maybe some fans disliked them. I don’t think byu disliked them. Good home

Hammurabi

Spoken like a wise lawgiver

Cooouuugs

12/31/24 9:49pm

Keep to the code

Hammurabi

12/31/24 9:51pm

It is closer to USC and Utah with BSU fans having a one sided rivalry. The gimmicky blue field is a good representation

BYU Tar Heel

12/31/24 1:20pm

BSU fans hardly ever think of BYU unless they're BYU fans like me.

coventry94

I agree but the strange BSU hate has gone on for a long time. I figure the enemy

They were one of the teams willing to commit to scheduling during independence

True.

I cheer for BSU and I get it

Their doing well puts their perception on par with the big12.This year proves it

Live in Boise for awhile and you will understand

12/31/24 2:18pm

This. BSU fans are just too big for their britches in most cases.

My age? I'll bet I have more gray in my hair then you do.

coventry94

12/31/24 3:01pm

The big/little brother thing is overdone. Aren’t they ahead in head to head

Hammurabi

12/31/24 4:52pm

Their best years that happened to coincide with some of our worst in decades.

DDBlue

12/31/24 6:04pm

BYU has won 3 out of the last 4 games they played.

BigHouse Coug

12/31/24 5:44pm

It's a regional recruiting rival, or at least, a potential one.

Mister P

12/31/24 10:05am

Have we ever lost a recruit or major transfer to BSU?

stoils

IdahoCoug

Minor rival

johnnybyu

Agreed, Minor rival now. Independence cost us some recruits IIRC

You must not be from Idaho then.

Trashy and vile fan base. Being in the B12 this year shows that there are classy fan bases out there. And then you

That may be a bit exaggerated. I know many BSU fans and wouldn't call a single one of them trashy or vile. Many are

BlooGeek

Their fanbase is without a doubt the dumbest fanbase I’ve ever seen

BYU '80

Not in my experience.

coventry94

12/31/24 12:34pm

Don’t get out much do you?

johnnybyu

12/31/24 3:20pm

My former neighbor in Nampa was the poster child for vile & trashy.

Hmm, you must have different friends…

Hammurabi

12/31/24 12:17pm

They are a regional competitor. We don’t want them to do well.

DanSmith

12/31/24 10:07am

This. While not on the same scale as Utah, if BSU does well, we could

Traveshamockery

I will however pull for them in the playoff

DanSmith

As a native Idahoan, BSU and their fans just suck.

IdahoCoug

12/31/24 10:07am

Hmmm...I guess our experiences are very different. Native Idahoan. Not from Boise. Their fans are passionate and loyal

BlooGeek

12/31/24 10:12am

No sense of history or tradition. Their fans are the epitome of bandwagon fans.

IdahoCoug

12/31/24 10:19am

They’ve been good for a whole generation and have trended up

Hammurabi

12/31/24 10:22am

Your definition of generation is pretty short. Also, 30 years ago, BSU was in the Big Sky with ISU and Weber.

IdahoCoug

12/31/24 10:25am

20-30 years is a generation. They’ve made a huge leap. You a vandals fan?

Hammurabi

12/31/24 12:13pm

No, I'm not a Vandals fan. You're probably thinking of Idacoug who has a Vandals logo.

IdahoCoug

12/31/24 12:57pm

Two little letters led to my failure! 🙂

Hammurabi

12/31/24 1:32pm

Really a dumb take. BSU has always been a winning program

CasualFan

Congrats. Okay. You made me look. But you're wrong.

IdahoCoug

12/31/24 1:26pm

I grew up in west Idaho and played against Boise teams, had friends play for BSU

Vandals fan?

porl thompson

BYU fan. But I'd take Vandal fans over BSU fans any day of the week.

Nope.

Yep. Me too. Idaho fans are great compared to BSU fans.

Ski-U-Mah

12/31/24 1:28pm

Well, Idaho stinks in football so they don’t have a lot to gloat about

Hammurabi

12/31/24 5:21pm

Also a Native Idahoan and outside of Utes, nobody hates BYU more than BSU fans.

BroDelusional

12/31/24 12:15pm

Not my experience but I have different friends I suppose

Hammurabi

12/31/24 12:22pm

In my experience it’s like Ute fans. The ones that hate BYU are mostly members
