that this one is going to be brutal for the Utes. I'm not talking trash on this, just reporting what my instincts say. The hype surrounding the Holy War will prove overwhelming for young Wynn[e] and the Utes will collapse around him. The offense will be inept and Jan will set up permanent shop in the Ute backfield. The Ute defense will soon tire of chasing Harvey Unga all around and they will betray their coach by packing it in early. By the end of the 1st half televisions around the Salt Lake Valley will be turned off in frustration and Ute flags will be lowered. To those who may be frustrated by the frankness of this post, I apologize but I am compelled by conscience.

Your conscience and my conscience must have hung out this weekend. I'm getting nearly the same message. Mine has a repetetive theme however: Max and Tonga pointing to the strip of Ute fans in the Southwest endzone over and over encouraging them to stand up and cheer after yet another BYU touchdown.Originally posted by YOhio View Post"Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

I'm tracking you, brother. All I can say is that if I'm a BYU fan, and BYU doesn't win THIS year and win really really big, I'm crushed by despair. This year of all years, BYU should romp; BYU needs a statement game. It's fast losing credibility and goodwill to Utah; it's almost to a point where it's not in the top MWC tier, but sitting all alone on a second tier. If I'm a BYU fan I expect BYU to mercilessly pound Utah--this year of all years--or I'm thinking of running a hot bath and opening up my wrist veins, or starting a fire Bronco web site. And a BYU fan is not going to be satisfied with any cliffhanger of a win. This game really does belong to BYU. This is the year for BYU to embarrrass Utah.Originally posted by YOhio View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Is it still legal to slam dunk footballs over the goal post cross bar? BYU needs to be doing that kind of thing over and over again this year. Or the fans will think FAIL!Originally posted by Blueintheface View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

BYU's defense is too mercurial to expect a pounding. Theoretically, their run defense is good enough to put Utah into passing situations where theoretically they can take advantage of Wynn's inexperience, but my guess is that BYU's poor 3rd down defense will let Utah's offense limp along just enough to keep the game close.Comment

I am a BYU fan and will be happy with just a win.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post
If I am a Ute fan I would be worried if BYU crushed Utah. All that good will and perception Kyle and the Utes have earned will take a serious blow. The Kyle vs Bronco debate will rage on in earnest.
If BYU crushes Utah, Utah in the national perspective returns to BYU's little brother.Comment

well, after this year, anyway.

Oh, wait... is this the thread where I'm supposed to be overly confident in BYU's chances?Comment

I see you in a Win-win here '71.

Outside northern Utah this game is meaningless. No one will pay attention, believe it or not. What people remember about Utah/BYU since the turn of the millenium is 2004 and 2008. Do you remember who won the Neveda-UNLV game last year? I don't.Originally posted by byu71 View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

I'm not sure there is much hype surrounding this game at all. Sure, the fans want to win. Sure, Kyle and Bronco are all square at two a piece. But let's be honest, we're playing for second and third in the league...Vegas or Poinsettia.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment
