    Spanking Utah

    Here are my predictions, FWIW:

    1) BYU stays in the MWC;

    2) The Holy War continues;

    3) Utah and BYU remain competitive rivals. BYU will every now and then spank the Utes.

    Time will tell.
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

    2 and 3 I think are good bets. You could add that every now and then the Utes will spank the Cougars. For the most part though the games will be close with BYU winning about 65% of them.

      But when the Utes win it won't be a big deal since they will know be expected to win the matchup as they are in a better conference. BYU is now the perennial underdog. At least now storming the field is justified.
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        Because it has been 50/50 the last 20 years (10 games apiece), Utah goes to the PAC-10, the pendulum suddenly swings in BYU's favor?

        Gotcha.

          How often does BYU "spank" Utah in football? It seems far more common that the "spankings" come at the hands of Utah.

            I was just being nice. I also didn't point out that 1990, 1991, and 1992 are counted in those last 20 years (1993 being the first year of Utah's resurgance in my book).

              It always stings like a cat o' nine tails when we lose to those guys, whatever the score.
