Utah? Hard to get worked up about. More like an aggravating barnacle on the hull.
I had never heard of the Aggies bonfire until 1999.

Aside from a very few rivalries such as OSU/Michigan, USC/ND, Army/Navy, all rivalries are regional that hardly anyone has heard about or even cares about.

But any warm-blooded, former BYU or Utah student from the past 2 decades is certainly aware of the rivalry, and if they contain even a nanoliter of testosterone in their body, should have at least some emotional investment in it.
