In a beige brick building exactly one mile from LaVell Edwards Stadium hangs what most residents in the area would perceive to be a serious local eyesore. On the second level of a Wymount Terrace student apartment complex in Provo, there’s a drum, a feather, the block U, and the four letters so many who bleed blue despise. And, of course, red. All for everyone to see.
It’s rivalry week in the state, so Taylor Smith flies his flag. His team’s flag. It’s in his second-story apartment window. It’s in the line of sight when Brigham Young University students living in the area step off the shuttle that takes them to and from various parts of campus.
