The Official BYU vs Utah rivalry thread........

[PaloAltoCougar]

There is part of me that thinks we gave up on some level after TCU, but I'm not sure whether that is an encouraging or discouraging thought. I don't think our trajectory was good this year, but it is hard to feel too bad about a top 25 ranking, 10 win season and rivalry win. A bowl win would be nice too, particularly since I am worried that Kyle lost this team somewhere along the way. It would be nice to see that is not the case.

Assuming KW does his usual great job of bowl prep, along with the fact the Utes probably won't have a formidable foe, I think Utah will get a very solid win and restore a lot of the early season momentum, and they'll feel a whole lot better heading to the new conference.

One other compliment for the Cougars, they completely shut down Shaky and the return game tonight. Seemed to have a nice game plan.

This seems to confirm the idea that the ball might not have been headed in the right place anyway.

You can tell where the ball is heading from that picture? Also where is this theory being brought up?

I think CJ said it. Doesn't the angle and trajectory look funny? You're right, I really have no frame of reference. Just looks funny to me.

Just saw highlights on sportscenter they showed the Bradley play and said:
"Bradley fumbles, but replay shows his knee was clearly down however the fumble stands. "don't you just love replay technology" (in a very sarcastic tone).

Saw that too. Hard to argue the replay guys didn't eff this one up.

Perhaps we have our own Chad Bunn.

Will the ghost of Chad Bunn come back to haunt us?

lol nice...

The only thing I could see during the replay that I've heard some officials say before is that while the ball wasn't "out" before his knee was down it was "moving" before his knee was down. Which, when I was talking to UD I admitted was a grasping stance.

I kind of thought Brandon Burton made a great play at the end of the game and ought to get some credit for that. You make the short field goal and the call on the fumble doesn't matter.

During Bronco's interview, fans were yelling things like F-BYU, religious slurs, homophobic slurs, etc. Ugly scene, embarrasing for U.

Bronco was far enough under the overhang that he didn't get hit with the ice, snow, etc. Just the people trying to interview him got soaked.

Utah A.D. Chris Hill watched at least part of the crowd-taunting-Bronco deal, and a woman with him (wife?) said, "they shouldn't do that."

Good Job, Utes.
