The fact is I don't follow them, and I don't really care if they lose or not.

However, I follow t.u. very closely, and watching t.u. lose is better than watching A&M win.

Hatred of a school must be something that has to be ingrained at a young age. It's hard to suddenly get furious about a school when you are old.
Aha. So you define a rivalry in terms of level of hatred. Now I am starting to understand you.

I feel much the same way SU does, as stated at the beginning of the thread. I can honestly say that I don't know a single Ute fan on a personal level that I don't like. So I don't define this in terms of hatred, nor do I rejoice when the Utes lose. But given all of the history and tradition between the two schools, there is no other team I would rather see us beat. It's a game that I care about more than any other on BYU's schedule.
