The rivalry is great. The more heated and bitter, the better.

If the rivalry skips a year in 2011 it wouldn't be a bad thing. Too much bitterness.
If Utah beat BYU this year, Cougar Nation will force Holmoe to capitulate to the 2-for-1 offer, if Hill decides to be hardnosed in negotiations. They'll be bawling in fluent Babylonian for a rematch, ASAFP. As bad as this summer has been, they'll be in a torture chamber for two years waiting for a chance at redemption.
Utah stands to gain far less than BYU in playing the rivalry game. BYU gets to beat up the Lobos, CSU and UNLV, not to mention SDSU and Wyoming. Utah has to play the PAC schedule.Comment

Any reason you didn't mention the LDS folks on the Utah side in your post? There are probably more Mormons than atheists, you know.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

That is an interesting post. You make a conclusion (BYU needs the rivalry more than Utah, now) and then you fail to provide any reasoning or logic in support of your conclusion. As would be expected by a thread-starting post which provides no meat, the thread quickly devolved into a "When did the rivalry start?" discussion, before dying a quick death.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

"Oh, it's just soo bitter! Why the hate?" Aw, you're all a bunch of pussies. You HATE your rival. Anybody in the country knows this. You want to DESTROY them. The only regret that I have about ripping out Utah's still beating heart and shoving it in their faces so they could see how black it was before they died in three of the last four years was the fact that we allowed them to retain a shred of dignity since they fought hard to the finish.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

Be easy on AA. He's still in the "smart alec student who thinks trolling is clever" phase. This can last well beyond graduation. Patience!Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View Post

How long before he makes it to the the "faux peacemaker who harbors way more resentment towards his alma mater's rival school than he would ever admit, even though his constant passive-aggressive remarks have long since exposed his true feelings" phase?Originally posted by LA Ute View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I rarely post in the sports threads because they're not really what brings me here. But, I do read many of them, and I have to comment in this one.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post
This post has me laughing because LA Ute can't really riposte it, and I can just see him squirming in his beach chair."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
