    So, I was thinking about an official Avatar betting thread. Here are the rules.

    1- Pick one of the two options, BYU or Utah. The poll is public and will close on Saturday.

    2- If the team you choose wins, then your avatar will be switched by the mods to one that is special made for this occasion. You are thereafter free to change the avatar whenever you would like.

    3- If the team you choose loses, then your avatar will be switched by the mods to one that is special made for this occasion. Gentlepersons rules require that you keep the avatar for the entire week following the game.
    66
    Brigham Young University Cougars
    75.76%
    50
    University of Utah Utes
    24.24%
    16

    The poll is expired.

      I reserve the right to change my vote based on the inside information I get on how much time the Cougars spend preparing for Utah and how much time they spend preparing for the fireside. (Obsession alert)

        The real question is who, if anyone, will defect.

          Indeed it is.

          Now that I have something riding on the game, I can get appropriately enraged at every

          A.) Failure of BYU to convert third down

          B.) Turnover

          C.) Utah passing TD.

          Good idea.

              I rescind my vote. I love my cougars, but I love my avatar too and I'll change it when I feel like it, not because I voted in a poll before looking at the full details.

                I am so looking forward to see YO wear a Ute shirt to work have a different avatar for a week.

                        Can't help but look at those two lists and see that the smaller one is like a traveling team and the larger one is the house league team. Our numbers are few, but wow, what a cast of all-stars.
