There is so much negativity and turmoil going on in the fan base I think it’s important in times like this to reflect on why we put ourselves through this agony. Why we get so emotionally invested in a team when we know all they are going to do is hurt us. Now keep in…
Unholy war
I’m worried that if I post this I’ll get called for targeting. (sorry I had to do it) I hate to play into the trend but I hardly remember a time when BYU was dominate over Utah. The last time BYU beat Utah I was 12! I was only 12! I wasn’t even in high…
“Next Season”
As BYU fans we have become infamous for our catchphrase “We will be better next year”. Even if you aren’t one of the BYU fans that repeat it, you probably will at least know someone who does. We’ve been saying it so often lately that it’s become like a really crappy catchphrase that makes everyone…

Breaking Up is Hard to do.
It’s been a few months now and we are finally able to step back, free of emotion, and analyze former head coach Bronco Mendenhall’s decision to leave BYU. You know that feeling you get when your boyfriend or girlfriend leaves you for someone else and naturally you go stalk their new love interest on social…
