BYU vs Utah September 17th 2011

[LA Ute]

It's going to be weird to play BYU that early in the season. Probably just as weird to be playing a BYU-Utah hoops game in mid-December.

[All-American]

The two most common sited are Florida and Florida State, and USC and Notre Dame (although not at the very end but close)

And even then, that's only when its @ USC.

[All-American]

I can now think of two reasons why BYU-Utah is going to basically turn into another USU-Utah "rivarly."

UCLA is USC's true rival. I say that as someone who didn't attend either school and is a fan of neither. It's just reality.

RIVALRY GAME!!

I bete 99% of all educated people agree with you. It's been that way since the greeks. Contrary opinions are but a sad relic of barbarism.

I see that you are yet another student of SU's posts who is now ready to graduate to being a student of mine.

Hooray! That's two more games I get to attend in 2011 and 2013.

USC-Notre Dame is only the finale for both teams when the game is in LA. It has almost always fallen on the third Saturday in October when the game is in South Bend.

So much for the naysayers saying the Rivarly is dead and that their was no possible way they could play it in 2011.

It's true. There was no possible way we could play it if we kept Pitt, Boise and Iowa State on the schedule. I had been saying that I didn't think it was likely Boise would allow Utah to buy out the remaining game (yeah, there were three games left, but we "owed" Boise one trip, no more).

What we really should be saying here is so much for the naysayers at BYU that were convinced Utah wouldn't work around the scheduling obstacles in 2011 to play BYU. Besides, it wasn't our AD that got all huffy at his biggest rival for leaving the MWC and threatening never to play them again if they did.

Tough call. USC is definitely UCLA's biggest rival, but I'm not sure USC feels the same in return. This much is fact -- USC-Notre Dame has been for huge stakes on the national scene by at least a 3-1 ratio over USC-UCLA.

Uh. No.

[Sizzle]

Uh. No.

But you can't dispute the fact that no team has done more good for the NCAA and has a richer tradition than Utah.

After 28 years in this town I feel pretty certain that both sides see the other as their rival. Any claim to the contrary is just rivalry smack. In football USC disses UCLA. In hoops it's vice-versa. But fans of each side care very much about winning those games.

[Portland Ute]

Hooray! That's two more games I get to attend in 2011 and 2013.

Because they'll be included in your season ticket package?
