The Ute-Coug rivalry game starting in 2011

[USUC]

But neither team is really ready for the game if its the first game of the year. Sloppy play, new and inexperienced players. Holding the game at the end of the year provides much more drama, more is at stake.

Exactly. I know some rivalry games are played at the beginning of the year, but they never excite me. Just my opinion.

What Coach McG said.

He didn't say anything! It was just a gesture. Sheesh Y, don't you understand the difference between saying something and gesturing something? You are impossible sometimes.

I don't know about Mendenhall, but when KW has time to prepare for a game, his team is ready to play.

Case in point, those nine days to prepare for San Jose State.

It's called body language and if you don't think body language speaks then that's your problem and not mine. Actually, I'm not surprised you can't speak body language. I speak it fluently and can communicate incredibly well without speaking a word.

Don't USC and Notre Dame typically play towards the end of the year? I just can't believe (but certainly see that it's the case) BYU and Utah won't play each other in 2011 and 2012. Maybe they can find a loophole in the Hawaii-away-game rule and play a 13th against each other in Honolulu. The would make the preceding golf tournament much better.

You need to bone up on LAUte's posts. Haven't you learned from him that boycotts are evil? They're just wrong!

Sorry, that was over the top. I should not have e-slapped you. Violence is not the answer. You just make me so mad some times!!!!!!

2011, Utah has Iowa St, Oregon, @Boise, @Pitt. Oregon is obviously now a conference game, but if we continue to alternate home/away with BYU, that would give us 3 difficult OOC road games in our first season against the PAC-10. That won't happen.

Both teams have room in 2012, though. There's no reason to believe it won't continue then.

It is sounding more and more like the Pac-12 is going to play 9 conference games. That leaves only 3 spots open for OOC games, Iowa St., Boise and Pitt. So there isn't a spot for BYU as of right now unless the Pac-12 conference schedule is an 8 game schedule.

doesn't notre dame play usc fairly late in the season?

Yes it is typically played late in the season.

I don't think it matters when the BYU/Utah game will be played. Their will be a ton of excitement for the game.

USC-Notre Dame is played late when the game is in LA. When it's at South Bend, it almost always falls in mid-October, usually on the third Saturday of the month. The last time USC-Notre Dame in South Bend was played outside the month of October was 1958.
