That's the thing in Utah. It's counter-culture to show how "not Mormon" you are by going to the UofU. It's weird. I never went to BYU and I am from the Midwest...Utah is just petty.
There are plenty of LDS (Mormon) who went to Utah and are Ute fans. They're chill. But the haters at the U hate enough for 5 people and make up for the non-haters.
I'm a Ute fan, but i always hope for success with BYU , too. Sitake, and Whittingham are close friends, and i don't think there's any backstabbing going on. Utah, through the years have taken BYU players, also. They both recruit the same players, and the players usually go with Utah, as they have generally been the stronger program, but now with BYU's success, things are evening out.
Utah the stronger program? Well, you are a recent fan (last 20 years) of Utah football. I've been a BYU fan since the early 1970's. "Generally" BYU was easily the stronger program for 3 decades since then. Up until the mid 1990's, Utah wasn't even a consideration for any recruit that BYU was going after. I wouldn't say that BYU is on much of a success trip... 11-2 this season, but the Cougars were in the exact situation last season that the Utes find themselves in now... BYU was 5-7 and no bowl game. I just think BYU has learned how to play the NIL and transfer portal game. I don't think Whittingham has fully embraced these ideas. He's a hardcore football coach. He wants his players to be focused on getting better at football, be dedicated to making the sacrifices necessary to win. NIL is a distraction to players and coaches. I'm not sure that Whitt is willing to play this new game where he has to worry about appeasing his players so they will stay with the program.
I think BYU has very strong NIL funds, and that is playing a roll as well. Utah has some big donors, but BYU has wider sphere to draw from and looks to have deeper pockets.
This is more like the Coaching Staffs of both Schools are recruiting the same kids. It also wouldn't surprise me if Kalani had Coached or played with their fathers and uncles.
If this were true… the NIL promises not being fulfilled.. wouldn’t we be seeing lots of BYU guys transferring? We hear nothing from BYU or its players. Cry, Utes… cry.
If Alex Markham is an "Analyst" then Blake is the King of LaLa land. Alex had zero evidence backing up his accusations and has had to back down now that actual families of said transfers are coming out and denying it. In fact the father of one of these kids went on Markham's actual show and Alex had zero smoke to contradict a word the father said. The fact you guys are giving him any credibility is a joke. SMH
I've been a bigger ute fan than Wisconsin these last few years. Utah and BYU have been swapping players for 100 years. Utah went 5-7, who could they NOT lose players to BYU. Sometimes I hate those few stupid ute fans.
Utah benefited from a conference affiliation that allowed them to out-recruit BYU for a decade. Now the pendulum has swung the other way and they are going to be the underdogs to BYU for the next decade.
Utah fan will quit their job pumping gas to injure BYU in any way. In the past, they would even set traps for BYU players, trying to get them in trouble over the honor code. Ute fans are petty, jealous and vindictive. Luckily for the rest of the conference, all of this will only be aimed at BYU. Cougar fans are used to it.
I have never heard in the media or any local sports news that throughout the rivalry that Utah players, or the Utah football program for that matter, were injuring BYU players purposefully or intentionally. Those are significant accusations. If anyone asked you for proof or evidence of such accusations, hope you can produce it. Also, accusing Utah fans in general of being petty, jealous and vindictive is simply not true. Not all Utah fans are like what you claim as their is a lot of good Utah fans out there just like I am certain a lot of wonderful and gracious BYU fans. What I would say is that there is toxicity in the rivalry and it defintely goes both ways, and is not one-sided favoring BYU fans like you claim. Your post would be a biased approach with your opinion of Utah as I assume you are a BYU fan and that alone would be taken with a grain of salt.
@ that is totally fair criticism, and I should have worded the part about injuring players better. I made it sound like physical injuries on the field were taking place, which to the best of my knowledge never happened. The injuries were to the players’ ability to stay in school. There were never ending narc calls to the honor code office etc. thanks for calling me out on that, it needed to be clarified.
Utah was the top recruiter and stole byu players for years because they were in a P5 conference and had more coverage, scouts, media attention, now that byu is in the power conference and is showing up as the better team currently, they are getting the advantage and Utah fans and analyst can’t stand it.
Utah has ultimate little brother syndrome. Now that their conference advantage is gone, the transfer portal exists, and NIL money is involved, they are at a severe disadvantage. They aren’t handling it well.
I’m a huge Utah fan and one thing I can’t stand is focusing on this kindve stuff. There are SO many problems with our team that we need to fix and yet people are talking about this? Let’s focus on putting an offense out there that can get us 21 points a game before we start looking at outside distractions.
This is a great college football rivalry. Utah mostly dominated up until 1970 when BYU turned the tables and dominated throughout the 70's and 80's, then parity in the 90's until Utah again dominated through 2019. I think we are on the brink of more parity, which will be much more exciting. The Cougs finished last year with the exact same record as Utah finished this year. Utah has made some changes I think will make them more competitive next year. The coaching staffs are insanely incestuous in that they are almost all tainted by playing or employment at either school, and the recruiting base venn diagram overlaps significantly as discussed in this interview. BIG 12 should do its best to hang on to Utah because there aren't many rivalries like this in college anymore.
Secret handshakes. Late nite phone calls. Utah fans are sure bitter. They beat us 7 times in a row. We took it. Remember the AD after the football game. Look in the records. The former AD canceled basketball games after they joined pac 12. Its much deeper.
My opinion and reasons why Utah fans are upset and screaming tampering is all about being upset for having a terrible season after being promised to be a top school in country with Cam coming back and good transfers coming in they failed, and now players are transferring out after being promised to be in the playoffs and big12 champs and not making it. 2nd they are screaming tampering because now since the playing field is even for being in a the same conference now because since Utah left to be in the pac12 have dominated since joining the pac12 and BYU going independent the playing field was not equal, Utah has gained what I would called entitlement and find it hard to see a good player they had go to the rival school but in history we have seen BYU players go to Utah and Utah players going to BYU.
Any quality LDS player has had contact with both Utah and BYU well before they committed so it’s not uncommon for players to switch after a mission. What about Bronco Mendenhall attracting BYU and Utah players to Logan?
Lol this is typical of Utah fans to say this shit 😂 Utah took hella players from BYU when they went to the PAC12 simply because they were gonna start winning more. Keanu ALWAYS wanted to go to BYU. His Dad works for BYU. Also Carsen always wanted to go to BYU as this is his hometown, but they never used tightends much until recently. The offense is shifting and changing this next season so it was a good opportunity for Carsen since Kuithe is coming back after a medical redshirt year from what I hear. If that's the case, Cars would sit the bench another year behind Kuithe and waste away. Also with Keanu, he knew Jay Hill and Sione Pouha could develop him better than Morgan Scalley or Lewis Powell could, so he did what he wanted to do all along. And that was come home. For Utah fans to make the assumptions that Kalani would go out of his way to do that is absolutely stupid and typical of them to assume given they had a shit season and are salty nuts since they were picked to win it all. Kyle would've already brought this issue to the forefront if that were the case. Maybe consider the fact that Utah has been built on NIL money rather than loyalty to the program. BYU football offered Keanu less than half what he was getting at Utah and less than a quarter what USC and Cal offered him. BYU football doesn't do NIL like that. To all the Utah fans, take your L from the season and take your L in the transfer portal and accept the fact that the advantages Utah had over BYU since 2010 are no longer a factor anymore.
Yeah...anyone remember Utah is the same fanbase that after Built Bar came out with their NIL/tuition program for BYU, some idiot fan falsified finding a bolt in one of his Built Bars, smearing them on Twitter. An actual bolt you get at the hardware store. It was comically ridiculous and absolutely slanderous/libelous (I'm not a lawyer, but it was one of the 2). This is the bullshit BYU fans have to put up with. Yormark, for all his brilliance, should have taken WSU or even SDSU instead of the shitshow on the hill.
Expert, you keep using this term. WHAT A JOKE. Please call them and insider or someone with program knowledge. Expert? Give me a break. Did they play? Were they drafted? No
I am a life long die hard Utah fan, we should in no way shape or form consider independence. This was a rough season with high expectations, 1% of our fans showing out poorly on social media and unfortunately our AD losing his composure. Not a great look right now, I get that, but this is just an unfortunate blip in what has otherwise been a very classy organization and fandom. Folks in Provo will probably say otherwise, but hey, that's the rivalry for ya. I'd say the same about them.
Utah's AD was in the moment. And he's a moron. He's, otherwise, been VERY positive on the B12. But what he said was completely dumb. Utah had a bad season. This isn't spilled milk. It's not making excuses. It's acknowledging and moving on. Likely out of his depth. But we will move on from that episode as well. Utah is in the B12. A few fans don't like it. Most Utah fans do. It's time to get back to work and be the competitive football team they have been for a very long time. I have every confidence that will happen in 2025.
Fine, he was in a moment. Then, Utah's AD should have apologized but he did not. The president should have suspended the AD but he did not. During the week before the game they were making PSAs about being good sports and handling things well. That is the worst possible look of hypocrisy for the school and they swept it under the rug.
Welcome to the holy war. This is the natural state of the rivalry, with some loud Utah fans usually resorting to religious attacks and claims of hypocrisy (e.g. these claims) and some loud BYU fans claiming lack of class or lower status (e.g. you just couldn't get into the Y). Utes tried to act above it all while they were in the PAC 12 but it's returned to it's natural state and the current chirping definitely is sour grapes over the relative trajectories of the two programs. The majority of fans of both programs just enjoy keeping it to some fun banter though (while secretly hating each other).
@Drake -,Love you bro. Seriously a huge fan. Here’s the thing.. I think you know the BYU fan base now. BYU fans are going to click on stuff like this! Nothing has changed since your last video dispelling it. But go ahead man! Get those views!
For returned missionaries and/or LDS church members that are Utah players, the culture and fanbase at BYU might be a little bit more in line with those players' faith. There is quite a large contingent of Utah fans that absolutely hate and despise the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and everything associated with them. I'm sure players of the LDS faith at Utah get a bit offended when they hear Ute fans screaming and chanting "F the mormons", "F BYU." They do this despite the fact that many of the players are members of the church, the coach is a member of the church, and many fellow Ute fans are members of the church. Kyle Whittingham is a member of the church. Kyle loves all his fans, but I'm sure he doesn't condone those actions and behaviors that are derogatory towards his faith (he never says anything to be critical of Ute fans... he doesn't want to bring faith into the rivalry. As a State of Utah employee he keeps religion and faith out of conversations about football and athletics... which is the right thing to do in his position.) However, in the past, there have been several BYU athletes (and coaches) that have changed their mind and gone to Utah after playing at BYU. Players, coaches, and individuals go to teams and institutions that fit them best at that time in their life. Kalani Sitkake, BYU head coach played at BYU, but coached at Utah under Kyle Whittingham for 10 years. He loves Utah. He loves BYU. As far as "tampering" goes??? Hahaha... there are no rules anymore in college recruiting. Talk to who you want - whenever you want. Promise whatever you want to promise. Everything is a year-to-year deal at every institution.
Drake Toll still fanning the flames of this BS for clicks. He basically admits it. He’s all about Utah and some reject analyst with no facts spewing garbage because it will get him clicks.
Eh, this is nothing. Stuff like this is going to happen in the NIL era between teams that are 40 miles apart and in the same conference. Rivalry makes this more of a story than it is. BYU wanted 10 Utah players, got 2. Tanuvasa is a good one. Carson Ryan probably is.....Tanuvasa played 6 games at Utah last season. He's hurt a lot. I wish him the best on his journey. I'd rather have Utah's recruiting class, both HS and Portal, than BYU's. So, if they get a couple of players we don't want to lose, then so be it.
One thing you'll learn covering Utah & BYU. It is like a couple of two year olds when the fans are concerned. And it leaks into the staffs respectively. Never listen to the fans.
Lol Utah has been doing this to BYU for years… every school is doing this. Utah is just mad bc they didn’t have the greatest year. This is hilarious
I have never seen a program hate another as much as Utah hates BYU, I am a outside observer and non Mormon but it smells of religious bigotry.
That's the thing in Utah. It's counter-culture to show how "not Mormon" you are by going to the UofU. It's weird. I never went to BYU and I am from the Midwest...Utah is just petty.
I think 50% of their fan base hates BYU more than it likes its own team.
I call B.S on that. I am LDS, Love Utah football and hate the TDS
There are plenty of LDS (Mormon) who went to Utah and are Ute fans. They're chill. But the haters at the U hate enough for 5 people and make up for the non-haters.
For me it’s some of the things that the BYU fan base says that really ticks me off
Reality is, BYU is a better culture and the culture at Utah took a step back. Easy decision for some kids.
I'm a Ute fan, but i always hope for success with BYU , too. Sitake, and Whittingham are close friends, and i don't think there's any backstabbing going on.

BYU & Utah = winning & whining
The best way for Utah to fix their program is to invest in a MIRROR. Their AD should have the first look.
It’s easy to make accusations. It’s time for evidence and proof.
Actually, Utah had a terrible year, their football team tanked, and they want to jump ship.
Utes always whining
I can hardly wait to see Cam Rising play another 2 game season in 2025.
