The Holy War 2009 Roll Call

[WashingtonCoug]

I will be there.

I sat in the Utah fan section watching 4th and 18. One of the greatest moments in my sporting life.

[DU Ute]

Most of your classmates are likely using their student loans for beer and strippers, you can't use some of your federal funds for something Holy?

Uh, yeah. I should use the money I haven't spent on beer and strippers. Uh, where did I leave that money? I mean, of course I still have it!

[Shaka]

I'll be there prepared to boo in BYU71's stead.

[Art Vandelay]

I'll be there prepared to boo when BYU71 streaks

I fixed it for you

[TripletDaddy]

I'll be there prepared to poo in BYU71's hat

I also fixed it for you. gross!

[Borg]

I will be there with bells on.

[Shaka]

I'm happy to have the good bishop and father of many children exactly the same age, fix things so my intent is clear.

[HBCoug]

I'll be there to watch Max throw his first touchdown pass against the Utes. And his 2nd, and his 3rd, and his fourth...

Anybody doing anything pre or post game?

First, let me say that I've always found the term "Holy War" in reference to the Y/U game to be pretty dumb.

And given little brother's disdain for the self-righteousness of Zoobs and the injection of religion into the football landscape, I have never understood why Utes willingly refer to it as "The Holy War."

Strike one - Utes are alone in willingly calling it the Holy War.

I don't know if I'll be there or not. My parents didn't renew their season tickets this year so I'm going to have to find a ticket somehow.

I'll be in the area, but am thinking I'll stay away to give the Cougs a chance. I'm up for a pre-game get together, though. Or maybe a Black Friday lunch or something.

FYI....2 BYU home basketball games the week of thanksgiving.....Tuesday and Friday, iirc.

Maybe we should get a group together and go to the game on Friday night. We can all yell "red light/green light" at different BYU players. And when an opposing player fouls out, we can taunt him with each step he takes to the bench.

That being said, it seems to be what we call this annual matchup, so...

Who is planning on being in attendance when the Cougars host the Utes at LES?

Since it is a football game that involves the Utes, I already know for sure that SeattleUte will NOT be in attendance.

Any others making the trek? Does everyone have tickets? Need tickets? Are you going with mixed group or are you sticking to your blue or red tribe?

I'll be in town and have a ticket but I'm not sure if I'm going or not. Right now I'm leaning towards skipping the game.

[LA Ute]

We have been in Utah the last 3 years for Thanksgiving but this year the family voted to be in L.A. So we wll be gathered around the TV for this one.

I will be in Salt Lake for a week or two at Christmas time and will catch at least one basketball game. I'd love to gather with some CUFers who are around then.

[SeattleUte]

I'm waiting to see how things go on Saturday. Sorry, just being honest!
