Greetings from BYU Country

I will occasionally catch a BYU football or basketball game, and am always impressed with the crowd and passion of the fanbase. I'm happy BYU got added to the Big 12, albeit under less than ideal circumstances.

How well does BYU travel? How many blue people will be in Ames for the first game?

I think BYU travels exceptionally well. I think the Cyclones do too. I went to the BYU-Wisconsin game in Madison a few years ago. It was 95% red, but I think the 5% blue was a strong showing considering it was halfway across the country.
 
What's the story behind being independent all these years? Just holding out on a P5 invite? If so, for how long? Is there any fans that are not happy about it and would rather remain independent?
When Utah and TCU got P5 invites, I think the BYU Administration basically told the Mountain West Conference they were taking their ball and going home because they didn't think they were on the same level as the remaining teams.

Edit: I don't think there is any BYU fan not thrilled about joining the Big 12.

I saw a couple of BYU fans on twitter saying that B12 teams will be shocked at how many Mormans live in their cities and that they will invade our stadiums. One compared it to when the Cowboys play Arizona. I had to laugh at that one. This isn't the MWC. I guess maybe they do that to KU, but they are not taking over Ames. No one does.
