Fine
Go through this thread and count all the negative posts by ute fans about byu that are not nut punch related.

Then go through the u of u homer thread and count all the negative posts about the utes by byu fans.

There will still be a huge difference.

Before the byu vs Boise state game happened there were already a bunch of ute fans in this general college football thread obsessing about byu.

After this coming Saturday's games there will no doubt be a whole bunch more ute fans posting a bunch of negative things about byu in this thread no matter what happens in the byu vs ucla game.
The byu football program has been and always will be living rent free inside the minds of ute fans. It's just the way it is

I sincerely doubt this is true, but I'm too busy obsessing about BYU to count up the posts as you suggest.

Exaggeration, check.
Keep posting negative things about BYU, check.

You may keep your Ute fan card for now, but keep it up.

One of the reason Zoobs think the negative post count from Ute fans is so high is that they find reality to be an insult. I don't blame them.

You doubt it's true? Lol
You don't even need to count up the posts.
Simply look at how many pages this thread is (basically the byu football discussion thread at this point) and look at how many pages the u of u thread is.

It's always been this way and probably always will be.

Hopefully ute fans can prove that byu doesn't matter so much to them by not posting about byu after their game this Saturday.
I doubt ute fans will be able to resist but maybe they will prove me wrong and shut me up on the matter.
We will see

If I count the number of posts, and then subtract the number of times you've said ^this^ same thing, the number isn't very big.

I wonder if we could assign Greg Foster to this project. I hear he's a great researcher. My recollection is that BYU wasn't even mentioned until well into this thread when you started making posts saying the first game was going to be a loss, so if this really is the BYU thread it sure isn't a very good one.

I said to count the # of ute fan posts though. So my posts wouldn't effect that number.
If you are talking about # of pages well then I got news for ya. My posts don't make up the difference. Good try though

It was actually hey hey that was first to mention byu but your point is well taken.
 
I just reviewed the thread from the first page. I learned a few things--one of which is that it seems really hard to be a BYU fan.

I remember hey hey from way back. What's his name now? Keeping track of people around here gets so confusing.

I think it's a jazz note on the web browser.
On the app is just a bunch of nonsense symbols and what not)

Fwiw, I appreciated what hey hey had to say in this thread. He is a rare breed (like myself) that has the ability to dislike a football team/program and yet still have the ability to discuss both the good and bad about that program instead of just spewing constant hate and negativity.

I respect and like him for that. Wish there were more ute fans like him (jazzman12 ain't too bad to talk byu football with either)

Don't get me wrong fish. I wanted BYU to win their first 2 games because I see it as being good for my Utes. I will be rooting for them to lose their next 2. I still very much hate BYU. In much the same way I hope the Lakers beat the Pelicans multiple times this year. I can even admit that Shaq was a great center but I still hate the Lakers.

I feel ya. I want the utes to lose pretty much every game but I'm still able to say positive things about their team and players and not nit pick every thing that their coach, players, and program does that is negative.
I want the utes to lose every game but I still don't feel the need to bash everything ute related.

You seem to be that way as well and I appreciate that

Have you listened to any national sports talk shows this week. If so you probably noticed that it is not only U fans who are talking about the nut punch in an overwhelmingly negative way. Have you heard those same national commentators talking about anything related to the Utah/Utah State game? Neither have I.

Draw your own conclusions.

Speaking of that, Tanner Mangum was on Rome today. No talk of nut punch. Kai Nacua was National Defensive Player of the Week (to credit Utah, Paul was PAC defensive player of the week, so that's pretty good too). Stewart Mandel lists Mangum as his top Heisman candidate. BYU has been all over ESPN the past couple weeks for their dramatic finishing wins. And there has been talk about the nut punch.

When you are a nationally relevant program, you take the good with the bad.

^this guy thinks his defensive posts about BYU don't spur more comments from Utes, and thus shouldn't be counted in the number of Ute-authored posts.

And he also wants to make sure you realize what arses Utes fans are for all these ideas!





College football can suck deck
 
srs, though, fishonjazz is one of my favorite posters even though I'm sure he hates me half the time.... and even though he hates me just when he misunderstands my motives. I can tell he's a cool dude.
 
Decided to take Fish up on his offer. Counted back four pages. There were 13 positive comments about the utes by BYU fans (most of the posts being Fish and me), a few neutral posts by BYU fans and 1 or 2 negative posts by BYU fans - assuming scootsy is a BYU fan.

the other thread in a few...

Went back a few pages in this thread. There were 3 or 4 negative comments from ute fans about BYU on just about every page. 1 or 2 neutral comments total by ute fans and didn't see any positive comments from ute fans about BYU.
