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

[byu71]

I think Ute fans as a whole find Bronco to be entertaining, more than anything. The guy has a knack for setting himself up.

BYU nation is more susceptible to hype with sub-optimal prospects for attaining what they want than any other program I've seen. For example, in the summer of 2002 Jay Omer was going to make BYU into one of the fastest programs in the nation. Lavell had let the program go, Crowton was a genius, the sky wasn't the limit - it was outer space.

In 2008 we had the "Quest", which itself was funny, but the next year, everyone sort of kept hush on the slogans, but it was understood that with all those seniors it really was BYU's year to reclaim their rightful place among the most select programs. Sure enough after the Tulane game there were radio ads touting the "BCS Bustin' Cougs". When senile Bobby Bowden demolished that dream the meltdown was epic. Vesuvius. THEN, BYU nation convinced themselves they could be the first BCS busters with one loss. It's a remarkable exercise in group delusion, a rite of summer, and early fall.

This year is another hype-a-thon, and Bronco has jumped right into it, head first. By October a lot of Y fan will be livid, of course, like MLM rookies who've woken up.

Bronco's just weird enough that one day he'll drive his Harley out onto the field dressed as Captain Moroni, and start speaking King James English - which wouldn't be far from his current dialect, but it will be interesting to hear the small business consultant-speak with a Biblical flavor.

It beats watching baseball all summer, I'll tell you that.

I dare you to say those terrible things over on CB.

Ma'ake's last paragraph is a classic!

At least you guys don't care about BYU anymore.

[DU Ute]

At least you guys don't care about BYU anymore.

We can't quit you.

[Flattop]

At least you guys don't care about BYU anymore.

Ok, maybe I haven't reached the point of completely not caring, but I care a lot less than I used to and it feels great.

I might be in the minority on this here at CUF.

You are killing it, USS Utah!

I was doing really good in my leave-BYU-behind rehab, and then the national championship talk arose yet again.

It's so classic, so over the top, so quintessentially BYU that I just couldn't avert mine eyes.

It's like walking around an LA beach on the weekend with your wife, only it's just comedy. You just shake your head and smile, and for the experience you get a "what's so FUNNY!?!?"

Next you'll make mention of the slip 'n slide at which point I might pull some stitches. As a once great man said, PULL THE FUCKING STRING AND LEAVE THAT UF.N SHIT BEHIND!

[Hot Lunch]

Do not question the Bronco. When he speaks, the debate is over.

Not sure that post deserved this strong of a response.

I'm assuming you meant to multi-quote Ma'ake? Just trying to drive the point home that feigning indifference while posting over and over and over again is so CB/uf.n and not what makes CUF great. What makes the CUF sports forums great is admitting that Utah and BYU are rivals and going from there.
