I'm glad you started this thread and that you used a normal title. Had SU started it we would have been stuck with something like "The Most Important Game in MWC History." That would have been lame.

Although, given the future of the MCW, this may very well be true.

What is the status of Devonte Christopher? I think the Utes really missed him against AF.

One of the things I have wondered is whether spreading it around so much at WR will deprive us of a "go to" guy. Brooks is the most seasoned guy, but he is not the big target on third down that Devonte is.

That got me thinking...to decide what game has been the most important in MWC history, you'd have to choose from a University of Utah victory. Start with Utah vs BYU '04. That was pretty important. But so was TCU/Utah in 2008. And Utah/BYU '08 wasn't small be any means. This game, though, it could be bigger than those. It probably will be.

Most likely.

The Utah/BYU game in 2004 wasn't a big game. It was a foregone conclusion. The work had already been done that year and that game was a season ending celebration. Any game against any team would have served that purpose in 04.

The TCU game in 08 was huge. The BYU game in 08 was not as big as the TCU game, but it was big, again, because it was game 12 and we were 11-0.

I don't know if it's common or not, but CBS has been cross-promoting the Utah/TCU game on CBS-CS today.

I actually have tickets to the Utah-TCU game but cannot go. Well, I can't responsibly go. So my two sons will be there and I will be glued to my TV set. I will certainly feel wistful as I watch all the goings-on at RES that day.

As for the game itself, I just hope the Utes win, or at least make a good showing. I have no predictions to make and there's no swagger in me for this one.

For anyone who wants to remember the 2008 game:

hence the lameness of it.

Line opens TCU -4.5, quickly drops to -4.0.

Everyone knew Utah was going to win this game, but how could it not be considered a big, if not HUGE game? Granted BYU was unranked and basically crap that year, I still don't think that qualifies that game as just a celebration. First Non-AQ to go to a BCS bowl? Undefeated season just two years after going 5-6? It depends on how you choose to look at it.
