Top 8 Reason Why BYU Fans Are Annoying and I Haven’t Dropped – The Mineer Name Lives On
What an interesting game. For no apparent reason my Mineer Family Blog was number 4 then number 8, and now is back to number 4. Google does what they want so I will simply be happy and make every effort I can to ensure I stay close to the top.
Today, I would like to give the top 8 reasons why BYU fans are annoying. However, let me justify this. I am a Utah fan through and through. My wife is not. She is true blue and always will be. It has created a fun family rivalry that we have been able to enjoy over the years. Fortunately for me, the U has been having some good years in most sports and, at least in the big sports (Men’s Basketball and Men’s Football), Utah has come out on top the Majority of the time since I have known my sweet wife.
Also, for public record, I hope my children go to BYU or BYU Idaho. I think that both of the BYU schools have better atmosphere both on and off the campus and a more enjoyable college experience when all is said and done.
However, I will always be a Utah fan and will always secretly hope that BYU loses.
