What about Cincy this week? Does it matter that they are in a down year? What if they were in the top 25? I'm asking because the hot topic in recent weeks has been attendance numbers. I was watching the replay of Boise State against BYU. BYU was at home with a 1-4 record and their fans packed the place. Amazing. If USF were 1-4, there would be 10 people in the seats.

When you support BYU, you are supporting more than a school. As to your question. I think the opponent plays a role. When we play Elon, I just hope we don't look bad and no one gets hurt. But I do enjoy winning against schools we have a history against. I would enjoy beating Southern Miss even if they were garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better the opponent the sweeter the victory. Although in rivalry games, like I consider Cinci to be, I don't think it matters as much. Bragging rights are fun no matter the records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYU has a long football history and several generations of fans. That's something we don't have yet. Playing a ranked opponent adds to the excitement. Winning is fun, but better against teams that aren't awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure why this is a question honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the only games I didn't used to look that forward to enjoying were ones where it was a foregone conclusion we'd win .... McNeese State cured me of that. Look forward now to just enjoying me some USF football, no matter who the opponent is. 26 minutes ago, Flowers4Heisman said: I was watching the replay of Boise State against BYU.

BYU has a football culture, like a lot of big, and small, programs do ....... we don't. Hopefully one day but ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Provo, but I get the feeling that we could get a few members from this board on stage performing a really bad rendition of Caesar, and it would draw 30k there. Some College football programs just have less to compete with as far as things to do in their cities. Plus, there's the matter of tradition...

Only 6 years in our existence that we haven't played them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
