  • What are you doing for the rivalry game?

    I know many of us plan to attend the game. For those who are not going to be there (and even for those who are), what do you have planned?

    We are going to have friends over to watch at our house. One couple are Utah fans, another couple are BYU fans, and the other couple are mixed (husband has degrees from both schools, cheers for Utah, doesn't hate BYU; wife went to Oregon, doesn't really have a dog in the fight). Three 14 year-old kids are coming and will get along famously. We'll have pizza and lots of fun. We are thinking about finally getting a decent flat-screen HDTV today and inaugurating it for this game. Suggestions welcome.

    Taking my kids to watch the Washington Huskies. Unfortunately, the kids can't be BYU fans.
    Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

        Just watch it on the couch w/ my daughter. She's become quite the college football fan.
        We're kind of hermits, so nobody is being invited over.
        9:15PM kickoff, so maybe some post dinner nummies.

        So far, so good.

          Watching it sans bluegoose and steelblue because they have a side job as DJs at hip hop clubs (ie stake youth dances) and were not smart enough to get out of it. Dummies!

            I had a chance to go to that game as well. A buddy of mine scored 35 yard line seats. Too bad I can't make it. Have a good time....and GO BIG RED!

              Last time my family bought a TV and inaugurated it with a football game was in 2001 for Nebraska-Colorado, and we all know how well that worked out for me. Since you're a Utah fan, I encourage you to do the same. Maybe you'll have the same outcome

              In all seriousness though, your plans sound fantastic. Have a good one!

                Last year I hosted a party and invited some BYU and Utah fans. This year, same thing except I am not inviting the Utah fans because they moved out of state.

                    Gameday is my wife's birthday. Her family wants us to come down to the UC so they can all celebrate with her and her twin sister who happens to share the same birthday. They said we can watch the game at my in-laws house in standard definition on their 32" TV. This would include having to watch the game with my FIL, who I love but can barely stand to watch a BYU game with when they aren't playing Utah. My wife told them no thanks, we'll come over some other time. I love my wife.

                    Instead we'll be watching with my parents in 48" HD glory and free from any BYU fans I can't tell to go to hell if things aren't going well.

                      I will be attending Stake Conf where a member of the 12 is speaking. If someone tells the score over the podium, I will punch them in the nuts.

                        My sons and I will be enjoying our time honored Holy War tradition of MLTs and tap water.

                          Surely your sacrifice will not be unrewarded. Unless you're a Ute fan.
                          I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

                            I know how you feel. Same with my kids and the Utes, unless I hit a rough patch and have to go slinking back to Utah.

                              If this ever happens they should turn it into a reality show on byutv.
