Well, the fact of the matter is that Ute fans just have more money available to spend on auctions like this, because they sold their tickets to the game

BYU football draws more than Utah because...well...what the hell else is there to do in Provo? It's either go to the game or sit home and watch Saturday's Warrior. :slobber:

What?

No, Utah's facilities weren't more expensive than BYU's. And they aren't close to being in the same class, either. I don't understand the logic of Utah fans thinking that their practice facilities are something special. Actually, I do. Utah fans proclaim that their facility is great because Urban Meyer said it was the best just before he bolted for Florida. The fact is that Utah's facility, built after BYU's, cost $6 million. On the other hand, BYU's indoor facility cost $9 million. Nine is more than 6, right?

Never mind the fact that BYU also spent $21 million dollars on a Student Athlete Center at the same time as they built the practice facility. That's a whopping $30 million dollars in brand-new facilities that BYU has at its disposal compared to $6 million from the U.

The logic of Ute fans doesn't add up on that issue, and interstingly, neither does your logic when it comes to fans.

"We're cheap, but there's lots and lots of us." Haha! Thanks for expressing what every BYU fan thinks of you lot. You're basically saying that attendence isn't important because, after all, you guys have all these imaginary fans. They're just too cheap to come to the game and actually support their team.

I've read thread after glorious thread on this website talking about Real Salt Lake's superb attendance and how great the fans were, etc. for coming out to root for RSL.

Yet that argument doesn't also apply to BYU? Only Real?


Alright, I'm done whining. For anyone who's waded through this post, thanks for allowing me to b**ch for a bit.

p.s. Rover, how exactly are BYU fans inintentionally? What does that mean, out of curiousity?

Ummm
As a BYU fan I appreciate the sentiment Thow, but I think that there is the slightest hint of a chance that you may have in some small part missed the point of Rover's post entirely.

GO BYU!!
