Again, because of the relatively low prevalence of little man syndrome among BYU fans.

Basically, BYU is "Utah University" and the U is the "state" land-grant school (e.g. Utah State). The land-grant school always hates the University more than vice versa.
I disagree. If you polled fans on utefans and cooterboard, I'd bet that the percentages for wanting the rival to fail at all costs would be pretty equal.

You just hate the state of Utah. But let me ask you, how many US Presidents have been assassinated in Utah?
