Utah College Football
Is it too early to start talking about the upcoming season? I just loaded all the Utah games on my calendar yesterday. The Utes will start by kicking USU in the teeth, while the Cougars will get a good thrashing at Texas Stadium to start their debut. Do the Cougs have a slogan this year? I hope they choose wisely...

I noticed the recent committment from a CB out of California. He'll come in handy. He'll be especially fun against TDS.
The Name- Joseph Smith.
The prediction- He'll rock as a Jr!
I can imagine the play action "Heaps drops back to pass for Brigham Young...looking...looking...nobody's open...he throws left...OH MY GOODNESS! Joseph Smith steps in front of the reciever for the interception! He's going...dodges a tackler...jukes Heaps into looking silly...He's gone! JOSEPH SMITH TAKES IT IN FOR A PICK-6 AGAINST BRIGHAM YOUNG!
You've gotta admit- with a name like that in this rivalry, the kid is destined for greatness.

seems to me the utes problem last year was that they gave a lot of usu's a good thrashing.
just saying. rather be playing Oklahoma and building sos than playing powder puff flag football (ok, i concede usu is better than that by leaps and bounds, but still).
Good luck to the Utes and to the Cougs this year. May somebody in our conference finally pee all over the BCS.

And you are happy that you got to play and beat Alabama? I don't get it. Utah got royally screwed by the BCS last year and should have been playing for the title. As the Alabama game proved, they were of the same caliber as any top flight program in the nation.
Taking the BCS's table scraps as Utah has done twice and BYU once (1996) is not my idea of "peeing on" or taking "a big dump on" BCS. It is getting pee'd on by the BCS.
I'm glad for Utah and cheered the entire game while they wiped Alabama from endzone to endzone. Alabama got scrubbed. And you know what, beating Alabama by more than Florida did... big wow. Florida won the national championship because they got to play in the title game and Utah got a nice pat on the head.
Utah should have never been playing Alabama. They should have been playing Florida in the title game. So if you are happy with the result from last year, fine. But at the end of the day, Utah and the entire Mountain West got pee'd on by the BCS. And I for one remain pissed that Utah was overlooked.
And it seems backwards that a Cougar is more pissed about this than a Ute.

What's good for Utah is usually good for the Cougars, so I say that we save the rivalry talk for the game and get on the same page for non-conference play: let's go out and beat the toughest teams that we can so that next time BYU or Utah is undefeated, we are invited to the real party.
Rant over.
And to show my goodwill (albeit cranky good will): ;-)

I think the rivalry is fun, but sometimes the bickering does get out of control. It essentially comes down to "My daddy can beat up your daddy."
