The thing that BYU fans don’t yet understand is what a hard decade apart from your rival does to a fanbase. We have been frying other fish since joining the pac and in many cases those fish fried us back, sometimes to a cataclysmic degree. In many ways a loss here is just like a loss anywhere else. We aren’t above calling out when we’ve very soundly outcoached because theres no point in pretending, BYU thinks that just because they never beat us that no one else does, which is a miles away from the truth. We lose all the time, it’s not something we’re just now coming to terms with.
It does no one any good to slip into utter denial and pointless what-ifs like “if this call went that way” or “if only such and such held onto the ball”. You end up just stewing over something that never came to happen and there are better way for each of us to spend our time. The better team won the game, which with VERY few exceptions in the sport of football, is usually the case.
