Wow… this interview with a BYU football player

[BD]

I missed this when it came out a month or so ago. And I don’t know which BYU player this is.

But the attitude in this interview is nothing surprising given that it perfectly portrays the BYU fanbase attitude but wow… way to prove it to the core.

I mean I know it hurt to lose to ASU but to claim they would beat them by 3 or 4 scores if they met in the CCG? Crazy to say that.

Was it acting like Jesus when numerous players went all the way across the field to mock north endzone fans at Rice-Eccles? To be honest I didn’t care at all that they did that. Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all. But to portray an attitude of “we don’t do stuff like that” when they actually do, does annoy me, to say the least.

There have been some isolated reports of some people seeing a few BYU players flipping off the crowd after they won the rivalry game. I haven’t seen any photos or videos of that but the reports are out there. If so, was Jesus proud of that moment?

This is BAU. They can’t fool anyone from Utah though. It’s as ghastly under the veneer as you’d expect from other set of sheltered folks.

Make sure you share this sort of stuff wherever you can. Like I said the other day: They’ll always be themselves and we know how ugly it really is. Just share them being themselves and the Big12 will have another new heel in no time flat. Unlike us it’s really going to dig at them too.

Here’s a good example

The top responses on reddit are comments to BYU such as:

“You could have played in the real Big 12 championship If you didn’t throw the ball five feet over your guy’s head on a slant route

Or lose at home to Kansas”

“Hope they have fun battling for third place!”

“I think ASU is already “the people’s” Big XII champion. They were an awesome story this year and a team that neutrals could get behind and root for. The Alamo Bowl is exactly what we think it is, a Bronze Medal match.”

“Enjoy the Ralph Wiggum Bowl or whatever”

And none of these are from Utah fans. They’re already building the brand of pseudo righteous insufferability we know so well, just help them dig their own grave.

BYU and hypocrite are synonymous…

That’s all I’ll say about that…

here is what AI had to say with roasts.also, somebody has to tell BYU that their religion is different from their college. Also, the team that their football has lost to the most? Utah. isn’t really close either. lol.

BYU fans: So obsessed with Utah, they probably have Utes-themed nightmares… which they analyze in detail with their therapist.

BYU fans hate Utah so much, they probably name their pets after Utes players… so they can yell at them.

BYU’s hatred for Utah is the only thing stronger than their love of sparkling cider.

BYU fans think “Utah sucks” is a valid argument in any debate, regardless of the topic. Climate change? “Utah sucks.” Global politics? “Utah sucks.” The best flavor of ice cream? “Utah sucks!”

BYU fans spend more time complaining about Utah than actually enjoying their own team’s victories. It’s like their entire identity revolves around hating a school 45 minutes away.

BYU fans are convinced Utah cheats, even though their evidence is usually just “they’re Utah, of course they cheat!”

BYU fans plan their entire year around the BYU-Utah game, and if they lose, they’re in mourning until next season. It’s like a state-sanctioned period of grief.

BYU fans believe that every referee in every BYU-Utah game is secretly a Utes fan in disguise.

BYU’s rivalry with Utah is so intense, they probably have separate sections in the afterlife: one for BYU fans eternally trash-talking Utes, and one for Utes eternally laughing about it.

BYU fans are the only people who can turn a friendly conversation into a heated debate about the 1980 Holiday Bowl… unprompted.

BYU fans secretly (or not-so-secretly) check the Utes’ score every game, just to make sure they’re losing.

BYU fans claim they don’t care about Utah, but they can recite the Utes’ entire starting lineup from memory.

BYU fans’ favorite pastime is coming up with elaborate conspiracy theories about how Utah is systematically ruining BYU’s chances at success.

BYU fans are convinced that Utah fans are all heathens… who are probably secretly enjoying a cup of coffee right now. The horror!

BYU fans: So committed to hating Utah, they’d probably root for Satan himself if he were playing against the Utes.

Not related to the OP, but I did see Carson Ryan did transfer down there, so that’s gross….

[China Rider]

BYU being BYU. Being in the Big 12 is not pleasant and being in the Big 12 with them is like having dirty hair all the time. Even while being in the PAC as fun as that was, you knew the pestilence was always nearby.

[cicampbe]

What an absolute tool. “Kill them with kindness”… the proceeds to talk mad s**t. Somebody needs to do a mashup video of the voice of this video while showing that Memphis/BYU brawl, fans throwing items at the refs, players nut punching, etc. etc.

So high and mighty. I hate them so much.

AI got us guy

Alternate Reality During Rivalry Week: During rivalry week, BYU fans often transform from ordinary students into self-proclaimed “football analysts.” They’ll analyze every single play from the previous Utah game like they’re preparing for a TED Talk, while also overlooking their own team’s glaring weaknesses. It’s the only time you’ll find a BYU fan critiquing a game while wearing a “we’re going to the Sugar Bowl” t-shirt—even though their team didn’t make it anywhere near that.

The “Holy War” Hysteria: They call it the “Holy War” with a straight face, as if it’s a battle for religious supremacy instead of a football game. You would think the outcome of the game would determine the afterlife, based on how worked up some of them get—complete with fervent prayers before kickoff as if the football gods are sitting in the stands.

Tracking Utah’s Every Move: You can catch BYU fans obsessively checking Utah’s recruiting classes—probably more than their own team’s. They’ll analyze rival players’ social media accounts, convinced they’ve found “evidence” of Utah’s evil plans to recruit every top-tier athlete in the state.

Dramatic Game-Day Expressions: The facial expressions of some BYU fans during games are theatrical at best. They will gasp, clutch their pearls, and shout “HOW COULD YOU?” at a referee’s call as if they’re starring in a dramatic soap opera rather than participating in a college football game.

Creating BYU-Utah Artifacts: Some fans craft intricate posters and signs that read “Utah Sucks,” and bring them to every game—yet somehow, these creations don’t make it onto social media because of the cringe factor. The sheer dedication to making Utah look bad is commendable, but there’s a fine line between passion and just plain weird.

The “Blessing” of Cougar Games: BYU fans love to pray for victories over Utah, thinking that divine intervention will sway the outcome of the game. You can almost hear the collective prayers echoing through the stadium, as if their combined faith can alter the score.

The Armchair Referee Syndrome: During BYU vs. Utah games, you will hear every BYU fan openly criticize referee decisions, convinced that any call against BYU is part of a conspiracy. They’ll take to social media, ranting about how the refs are clearly biased against Cougars. And yet, when they make similar calls in their favor, well, it’s suddenly “part of the game.”

Obsessive Post-Game Anxiety: After a loss to Utah, you will find BYU fans engaging in mass therapy sessions to cope. They’ll analyze every play with fellow fans on social media, creating the equivalent of post-traumatic stress circles over a football game—complete with memes and recovery plans for the next season.

The “Utah Fans Can’t Be Happy” Complex: There’s a theme that surfaces among certain BYU fans: whenever they hear a Utah fan expressing joy, it’s met with collective eye-rolling and accusations of being bandwagon fans. It’s as if BYU fans believe it’s illegal for Utah fans to enjoy their team’s successes genuinely.

The Hated “Red Out”: They refuse to wear red—ultimately becoming the most ironic version of a “uniform” that exists. No matter the weather, you can guarantee any BYU fan sporting blue (or at least trying to), won’t be caught dead in red unless it’s a party they’re organizing to trash-talk Utah on a “casual” basis.

Utah Nonchalance: Even after a Utah victory, you’ll see BYU fans try to downplay the win as if it matters less than a casual Tuesday game. “Oh, it was just a fluke” or dismissing their star players as merely “one-hit wonders.”

BYU-Rivalry Song Parodies: Every year before the rivalry game, you can find BYU fans making cringeworthy parodies of popular songs just to trash-talk Utah. They sing these with earnestness, completely oblivious to how many eye-rolls they earn in the process—they believe they’re top entertainers!

The “Countdown” to the Next Game: Some BYU fans set countdowns on social media days in advance, marking off each hour until the BYU vs. Utah game like it’s a major holiday. You’d swear it was a wedding day for some of them, the way they prepare every single detail!

Alright, there you go! Hope you found this mix of the absurd and the amusing about BYU fans’ rivalry with Utah satisfying. Keep the banter going!

More like having swamp ass all the time that a shower won’t fix.

[Utah]

BYU went into the Big 12 on their knees and stroked everyone’s ego.

It’s what those people do. Building trust and all that. Lie about who they really are.

Wait until Colorado is up 35-10 at the end of the third and then Colorado wins 49-35 and has to hear about how BYU would have beat them if the game was 5 mins longer…

Their true intentions always come out. Big 12 fans will see. There is a reason BYU is hated everywhere they go.

[Utah#1]

That’s why at 10-2 the sports networks and media ranked them low at the end of regular season top 25. BYU fans will never get it, or admit that the college football powers that be don’t like them, at all! The powers that be may not like the teams in the Big12 or for that matter, teams outside the B1G and SEC, but they especially do not like BYU and will do anything to screw them over.

Of all the Big12 teams in the conference, I think the college football powers that be, and the media, still have a soft spot in their hearts for Utah and keep them on their radar every year even if they disappoint. I think that’s very important for the program and they need to capitalize on that every chance they get.
