Big XII Conference Rival?

Post by Schmoe »

Obviously there's one big rival for BYU. However, conference play is more fun if you have rivalries, as well. So, my question is, if we do get in, who becomes our main conference rival and why (and yes, I mean what team will we organically develop a rivalry with, not picked for us like Colorado in the PAC)?


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Iowa State. They're punks. And their BB player flipped off the ROC at the end of a game.

In football, I would say TCU because they were already developing into a rival when we were in the MTN west together.

Voted Texas because I think we have a small simmering rivalry already and TCU will be just another team in the Big xii after a while. I have no doubt that if BYU ends up in the BXII that most teams will treat it as a rivalry, just like all conferences BYU has been a part of.

Remember in the MWC where every team said BYU was their rival. Texas feels the same way.
