don't feel that much of a rivalry with BYU anymore. They feel more

of a rivalry with Arizona, USC, and UCLA. When cougars come up

while talking sports, the majority of the time they're referring to

the Washington State cougars.

When talking to my BYU friends, they tell me they feel more of

a rivalry with Gonzaga and Saint Mary's.

Maybe it's not really that important that the U of U and BYU play each

other every year. It's certainly not necessary that the legislature get

involved and force the issue, when there are so many other very

important issues to deal with.

Maybe we ought to let old and new rivalries evolve as they 

naturally will over time.
