You really think the presidents of the Cal schools will vote yes on BYU? I think not.

My dad's got this awesome set of tools dude, we can fix it.
I see what you did there.
Probably not. In addition to not playing on Sundays they have also had a questionable reputation around academic freedom. As I recall they were difficult to deal with from a conference point of view. The religion aspects influences and or supersedes the athletics and academic missions.
After BYU...
There are NO schools in the current footprint that are a slam dunk obvious choice.
There are two schools next to our footprint (UT and OU) that are obvious add ons.
There are several schools within the footprint and next to the footprint that have varying merits and detractions.
I think if that happened that means the UTerus and Land Thieves are NOT coming. From there I suspect the companion to BYU will be of meh caliber no matter who it is. In my mind CSU becomes that natural in state rival. Its an easy drive to FoCo for games too. But pretty low on the excitement meter. All 4 schools would certainly be together in the same division of the conference.

Problem with the forced rivalry is I don't like much of anything about Nebraska, and love Utah.

Think the rivalries may feel a lot more genuine after this season. We already think we're too good for Utah and equal to UCLA/ASU. They're going to get un-nerved if we can finally beat them.

Definitely. Once you beat teams, rivalries will develop. I remember before the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, a writer described the Sox-Yankees rivalry like a rivalry between a hammer and a nail. That's how it's felt for us since joining the Pac-12.

This is the best idea in the thread. Make one side a Ute with Utah logos on it and the other side a Buffalo with CU logos.... Have it be a single trophy on a stand with room to engrave the winners and years... and make the coin either flip or spin or be turned so the loser faces the back of the trophy case. Winner gets the trophy for a year.I like it. How about a two-sided trophy with an oversized Buffalo nickel at the top. Probably wouldn't work because I'm sure the native American isn't a Ute, but still like the idea of a trophy.

Maybe the ski boot trophy could be sponsored by Lange.

This. Especially since it's very possible we will both be playing for bowl qualification the last game of the season.
I think that's the point. In a traditional rivalry, it doesn't matter if there is a trophy or not. In our case, we need anything we can to try and make it somewhat of a real rivalry beyond the "who has the least ****ty team from the PAC-12 expansion" that it has been.
Mountains in it is a must if we go trophy. Maybe a pick axe? A stick of dynamite perhaps? I think ski boot would be a little too lame, doesn't really seem like a motivator or something that is indicative of a hard fought rivalry.
Its easy.
Trophy has a mountain chain on top. One half of the mountain is Black with gold highlights, the other Red with white highlights. The side of the trophy with your colors on it has the scores of the game you won engraved on it. Call it the Continental Divide Cup or something like that.

Yeah a pick axe that is way oversized. As in hey Larry you can pick your friends but you can't pick your rivals. Seriously though maybe the non rivalry but respect thing is something to embrace?
No. It's not that we don't want to hate you, we just can't right now.
This. Utah does suck. But **** bailer gets more of a rise out of me.
I do like that all bear fans are the online version of Ted. So stinkin' cute!
As God is my witness...
