That’s a perfect response.

I am so torn on this rivalry. I know that you hate it with a passion based on your experience growing up.

But for me, it was always a great memory with my family going to the games, win or lose. I have mentioned that my brother-in-law played for the U and is a really good guy and we have a super respectful r…[Read more]

I say you ban the idiots. You guys have a respectful site and we have always had great dialogue.

Sorry for the morons.

“BYU thinks they are going to crush us”

No BYU fan I know thinks that. We are all super nervous for this game. We haven’t beaten Utah convincingly since 1996, and we haven’t won in RES since 2006. I’ll be happy if we win by one point. Utah’s defense will be the best D we play this year. And our D line has been pushed around a few times this…[Read more]

As a BYU fan, I can actually laugh at when your yell leader beat up our fan who was running his mouth. That was pretty funny and I would have loved that as a Utah fan. Jake Heaps tripping all over himself and giving up 7 points on the first play of the game was also hilarious looking back on it, despite how bad it hurt at the time.

This one is…[Read more]

So painful as a BYU fan. Just look at all those wins in the 2010’s. Ouch. We were close in many of them, but could never get over the hurdle. So many brutal losses.

Thanks God for 2021 haha. 10 in a row would have done me in.

Classy post about your friend in 2006. That’s awesome. That is my favorite memory and why this rivalry game means so much to me. I remember watching that game at my brother’s house and all of our family was there. It felt very much like 2005 and that we were headed for a similar outcome. Then that ball hung in the air and when Harline caught it,…[Read more]

It’s a valid concern.

However, if there are several uber wealthy LDS families that are bankrolling this, then that’s their choice. I would get your argument it if it were the institution of BYU or the LDS church using tithing money or something. But that’s not the case here. You have several LDS families who have probably already paid millions in…[Read more]

In the words of Michael Scott: “Why are you the way that you are?”

Don’t be an idiot. Don’t come on their board and talk like a ten year old. You’re embarrassing our fanbase and you just sound dumb.

Sorry, Utehub. He’s an idiot.

And real BYU fans aren’t talking smack because we know no matter how good either team is, this game is ALWAYS clo…[Read more]

No way BYU goes undefeated. And if we are fortunate and enough to make it to the conference title game, I bet we lose to Iowa State.

But IF (and that’s a big if because there is a lot of football left) we somehow make it to the playoff and get blasted… who cares. Because like you said, based on preseason expectations, we are playing with hou…[Read more]

If you are a fellow BYU fan, you’re an idiot. Don’t come to a rival message board and talk trash when they’re venting on their own board. We hate that on CB, so don’t do the same.

Just delete your account.

Go to Utefan.net and see the crap Ute fans talk about BYU and our religion and how we’re all hypocrites.

CB has a lot of idiots because it has a lot of traffic. This site is highly curated and different. CB is more similar to Utefans with more idiots on both sites IMO.

12PAC, I’m sorry this was your experience. I am LDS and grew up in Orem. I know in my high school in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, that there were not many non-LDS kids. I look back on that now that I live outside of Utah and think how hard it must have been for those kids.

I remember a non-LDS family moving into our neighborhood when I was a kid…[Read more]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. So it sound like you grew up when BYU owned the rivalry.

I don’t live in Utah, but in talking to my brothers and friends, they said the last 15 years were brutal for their kids (in Alpine/Highland) when Utah was dominating. They said their kids didn’t even want to where BYU gear to school because they got made fun…[Read more]

Yep, to each their own.

Curious why sporting events between the two of us aren’t fun for you? Were they ever? Did they get ruined by BYU fans? Just curious.

Because heaven knows we’ve taken our share of L’s in the last 20 years, but 2006 is one of my greatest sporting memories ever. I was also at the game in SLC in 2000 when BYU and Doman came…[Read more]

This really is a great site with positive interactions. I’m always amazed at how honest (realistic) you are about your team on here. And you call out your own. Much respect.

Good luck the rest of the season until Nov 9th!

Thanks, Dr. Jazzy. Good luck on the season!

I know Wilson didn’t look great in his first action, but he’s going to be a gamer. So sad we couldn’t get him.

Yep, we have our fair share of idiots like every fanbase. Sadly, message boards / reddit / social media has ruined civil dialogue in most of society. It’s a shame too, because virtually all my interactions with Utah fans have always been great.

Anyway, good luck on the season…except for when we play of course. So glad the rivalry game is back!…[Read more]

Yeah, he’s an idiot and he rightly got called out. Show me the other threads on CB where CB fans are hoping for Rising to get injured. Lots of speculation that he will get injured based on how he plays, but I haven’t seen outright posts (besides this one) where they are hoping he gets injured. And if there are others, I’m sure they got called out…[Read more]
