  As the season is quickly approaching I’ve been consuming a lot of YouTube content about the big xii and my goodness is a certain fanbase annoying/self righteous. First of all I can appreciate literally any other big xii fanbase saying ours sucks with what happened last offseason. But context matters and any other set of fans given the same exact situation would’ve acted the same way, so say what you will people. One group of fans though in the comment sections stands above the rest and that’s the byu-Provo people. Good grief, they get absolutely butt hurt if anyone says anything remotely negative about the team at all. Whether it’s the actual team, the stadium, the atmosphere, mascot, band, students, campus etc. Like good grief, not everyone is going to like you lol. Don’t get me wrong there is a good amount of “good people” over in Provo but my experience of just wearing Ute stuff just in Utah county…you would’ve thought I was public enemy number one. And I can also appreciate that as we are rivals and that’s how rivals generally treat each other in this country. Like enemies. But man, they’re just objectively annoying in these comments on YouTube and instagram too. Someone will give a top 25 with no byu-p or Utah I might add and boy oh boy, there will be at least 4 comments calling out the post/video about how dumb they are or “where’s byu broooo?” Etc. I could give more examples/reasons for my claim but in this echo chamber of byu-p critics, you all I think get the point. This post was more of me just venting about them more than anything else. They suck and I think maybe some people are starting to be annoyed with them too. Idk, maybe. Just drives me nuts being in the same league as them again for this one reason only, their awful, annoying, self righteous, dumb ass fan base. (Although it’s nice having an actual mutual hated rival in a conference again)The kids bop of college football that is byu-p.
  
  Thank you for attending my gripe session

  It’s a function of the fact that they still believe BYU-Provo Campus athletics is a missionary tool. To them, this isn’t just about football – it’s about your salvation. So they attach more meaning to athletics than pretty much any other fanbase out there.
  
  Of course, the truth is BYU-Provo Campus sports aren’t a missionary tool. Quite the opposite, in fact. The antics of their team and fans have driven far more people away from the LDS Church than they have brought in.

    Good point, I’m a very active member but also have my issues. Just like every other member. But I have to say, it is a massive hurdle every fall for me dealing with people in the church who are byu-p fans

    You’re saying the below aren’t missionary tools that make people want to join?

  Yes ALUF. Their propaganda efforts when we entered this league have led some fanbases to hate us without even having any exposure to us, our fans, coaches etc. But they can’t hide who they really are and over time, if it hasn’t happened already, other fanbases in this league will realize why they’re the most hated fanbase in college football.

  After our past two seasons and our ugly transition into the Big XII pretty much all Big XII creator social media accounts are unwatchable from a Utah perspective. Locked on Big XII is constantly glazing BYU. John Kurtz is super friendly towards BYU, Pete Mundo with Heartland college sports is probably one of the more fair/objective recently but has had some bad moments. Cody Stovall with Locked on Oklahoma State hates Utah, the Baylor locked on kid hates Utah. Even if they don’t like BYU they talk about them in a more positive light because they dislike us, and that sucks.
  
  National media is the only way you can watch unbiased stuff on Utah right now, and they aren’t talking about us very much because we have been a hot pile the past two years.
  
  BYU has been having a big moment for the past year or so and the fact that it has coincided with a dip from us is frustrating as hell. On the bright side, I think we have a pretty good chance of winning 8+ games this year (w/ the rivalry game being one of those wins), and I think they will struggle to make a bowl game. I know it is too much to hope for considering the talent on their roster, but if their MBB can seriously underperform and get knocked out in the 2nd round of March Madness the tune they will be singing will be very different a year from now.
  
  I consider this an “Experiment” that BYU donors are going through at the moment. Their high rollers are having fun paying huge money to get players. But if they have a couple of years of serious struggles/underperformance, considering what they are paying, I can’t help but expect a lot of those donations will dry up very fast once the novelty of it wears off.

    They’ll fire Sitake before they stop buying players.

      Absolutely they would fire Sitake first, and I never expect them to stop spending lots of money. I’m just hoping they have some bad seasons where the “investors” get a poor return. Look what happened to Texas A&M. They tried to go out and buy every player under the sun and failed to achieve anything meaningful. Now their player investment has subsided drastically. They have way more money to throw around than BYU alum, so a handful of dud seasons would do the trick in my opinion.

  The good thing is some Big 12 fans from other schools are starting to see it too. At least on X. Some have even said we were right and have apologized to us as a fan base. It was only a matter of time and it took them less than a year to show their true colors.

  Some BYU fans poisoned the well, but also some Ute fans talked a lot of crap, and then Utah badly underdelivered in its first season, a perfect storm, if you will.
  
  At this point, I am just hoping Utah finds a way to win more games in 2025.
