BYU fan looking for rivalry civility with online petition
SALT LAKE CITY — Whether referred to as "The Holy War" or by some other name, the love-hate relationship between in-state rivals BYU and Utah runs deep.
Amid a brief hiatus, the negativity surrounding the game remains high as fans, friends, family and neighbors feel inclined to raise their banner in support of their respective team, often with negative comments on various social media platforms or in person.
One fan of the matchup, though, is hoping to change the rhetoric leading up to Saturday's rivalry clash in Las Vegas by asking fans of both universities to participate in a commitment to "bring about some kind of change."
