Rivalry Week = Suck

Steven -

It's come to the point where I cannot stand the stupid rivalry anymore, mostly thanks to the fans. Oh how I wish we had a rivalry like Texas/Oklahoma or Michigan/Ohio State where the rivals are at least separated by a state. But no, BYU and Utah are at most 45 minutes apart. Some say this makes it a better competition, but at this point I beg to differ. I am SO glad that these two are being separated out of the MWC.
I can't stand Utah fans pretending like they're rebels for disliking BYU. Their actions are tasteless and downright awful in many cases.
I hate BYU fans for pretending like they're higher-class than Utah fans when in reality they are just as bad, the only thing they're missing is the beer.
I hate the build up to the game when fans on both sides criticize the other team REGARDLESS of what faults their own side is having. It's as if the fans are trying to dictate how the outcome will be WEEKS before the game is even played!! How ridiculous is that?! You cannot say who will win until the game is over!
I hate how fans for one school will even mock the other university as an institution. Honestly, what is wrong with you people?!! BYU is a world-class private institution with exceptional business and law programs. Utah is a fantastic public university with the highest quality medical school  and political centers.
The problem is the more one hates the other, the more attached to their own team they become. So here's a shout out to all you die-hard Utah and BYU fans. Thanks for continuing to ruin the rivalry and make it shameful on so many levels!!
