Attending the U cheering for the Y...
I just don't get it... I can see being a BYU fan when BYU plays somebody else, but the U is your school. This is my problem with the U. The campus experience (its "commuter" nature) does not do enough to create nostalgia and loyalty. I became a big Ute fan because I decided to get really involved at school. I was involved with the largest student group on campus.... drum roll.... LDSSA! It is sad to me that LDSSA doesn't even gather enough people and create enough of an experience to "convert" people like you. I understand tradition... I can see why a guy would root for BYU even though they did not go there (I have friends who root for ND because their 3rd cousin is Irish). But I still wish that the U could produce a more endearing experience. |

Perhaps Pride is one of the very, very few who wanted to go to BYU but wasn't smart enough to get in and decided not to hate BYU for rejecting him.
Isn't that what most zoobs claim? That LDS Ute fans hate BYU because they couldn't get into BYU so they had to settle for Utah and joined the masses of other castoffs?

I guess college is what you make of it. I knew people that got married a year (or less) after their mission and frankly how would the college experience be if you were married any different at byu? I also knew those that were just going to to college to get a job and not to learn. Those people are not gonna get an experience any different at Byu besides having to live mission rules and shaving everyday. Although one thing I do wish was at the U when I was there is the MUSS. That looks like a great time. However, I was at the U when Majerus was at his peak and Van Horn, Doleac, Miller, Jensen so I can't complain that much.

as far as being involved in school, i as well was in LDSSA, in fact that's where i met my wife. LDSSA is actually doing really well these days. and greek row is really pissed off about it. i think the u produces a great experience. there are a lot of passionate fans up there and it's great. as for me, the line was drawn in the sand a long time ago. i will always be a Cougar.
