I can only remember one time ever rooting for BYU. It was a basketball game many years ago. Utah had two conference losses, and was ranked about no. 12 in the polls, New Mexico had one conference loss (to Utah), and was ranked no. 4 nationally. New Mexico played BYU in the Marriot Center on the last game of the season and if BYU won Utah and New Mexico would have tied for the title. I really wanted BYU to win that game. But they let me down. That is the only time I recall ever not rooting against BYU in any game it played.
