You got that right.

I so rarely agree with OG, but he is spot on in this thread. I can't believe all you supposed BYU fans pandering to JIC for posting this crap. SUre, I'd like to see him around here, but the gall to start a thread full of smug pomposity. Unbelievable. Take this crap somewhere else.

I also don't like the name "Holy War." This has nothing to do with religion or anything holy. While the Utes are surely Godless cretins, what makes this war "holy?" The only thing religious is BYU's affiliation. Do the Utes admit they are the anti-Gods, or the anti-mormons, or the anti-religions? It's a dumb name. The name was created by idiot media people looking for a sound bite.

Look, Utah is not that great. So they won the PAC-12 south. Big freaking deal. It's like being the tallest building in Clovis, New Mexico; a true fact but really not impressive at all.

BYU will show up. The defense will rise and Wilson will perform. ALthough I would prefer BYU crush the Utes, I see a competitive game with BYU closing it out with a late score and a win.

put your money where your mouth is and lock or delete the thread.

creekster isn't a mod anymore. I could do it, though. I have that authority.

In the spirit of Tom Holmoe and Dr. Chris Hill's replacement, I'll tone down the rivalry rhetoric and say something nice about the U. It's an incredible honor that President Donald Trump looks to them for advice on science. It really speaks to the quality of this fine PAC12 research institution that it's the place where Donald Trump sources his scientific experts. Congrats to the U for doing their part in making America great again!

Agree with this but for different reasons. Holy War connotes a war between religious kingdoms or empires. The Univeristy of Utah is not religious. On the contrary. It’s nothing if not a secular institution. “Holy War” doesn’t fit. It’s stupid.

it's not a war, it's a football game. calling it a war is an insult to actual war, the tragedy and sacrifice that are a result of such. a player in this game might sprain his ankle or pull a hammy.

Oh brother.

You forgot concussions and neck injuries from all the Ute targeting hits.

I assume SMR is just making fun of LAUte, who took umbrage at Bronco a few years ago for making the comparison--and for using the term Band of Brothers, which was obviously a reference to WWII.

I am curious what LAdouche thinks about gator rolls now that Utah is the dirtiest team in the country with all the targeting calls. He still doubled down after all the evidence of the NFL teaching that technique because it was safer. Then again, I wouldn't expect him or a second rate doctor in rural Utah like JIC to know much about football.

BYU is going to absolute beat the shit out of Utah on Saturday. The streak ends, and a new one begins!

Zach Wilson will not only carve up that overrated, BYU reject filled, Utah Defense. But he will piss on his uncles grave when he is done.

I can't wait to hang the Pac-12 South Champions banner in LES!

Did he really? That is hilarious.

SMR, just pretend you were mocking LA Ute and you have an easy out for that dumb post.
