Holy War 2011

[UtahDan]

It is less than three weeks away. Does anyone care?

[BoylenOver]

A week from Sunday I will.

[Joe Public]

A week from Sunday I will.

Bingo.

[Blueintheface]

I do. You pot smokers are goin' down! Don't tread on me!

[Portland Ute]

A week from Sunday I will.

Without scrolling back through the past few years, is it common to start talking about the rivalry game in earnest when there are are two weeks of the season to be played before the game?

[Katy Lied]

Are we talking about Utes vs. Colorado?

[PaloAltoCougar]

Are we talking about Utes vs. Colorado?

Nothing holy about that. I think he meant next year's clash with conference mate Notre Dame, but it's probably too early for that.

Uh, it gets talked about all season.

Sorry but if you haven't noticed we are not playing a 1-AA team and a team I guarantee is not bowl eligible in our first two games. We are actually playing a traditional SEC power and one of the most storied programs in college football history.

Bigger fish to fry, we will focus on Utah when the time comes. But I can understand why the Utes would want to look so far ahead.

[TripletDaddy]

it is dumb to call it the Holy War. Never understood that.

Though, long about November, we may be more than happy to start discussing the Armed Forces Bowl.

I downloaded the Utes calendar today and noticed it was the 17th. Just sort of shrugged. It has no impact on our BCS hope. Obviously it is critical to yours, but that is true of every game.

It is less than three weeks away. Does anyone care?

Honestly, no.

I could care less. You're in another conference, most of our students aren't from Utah, I'm not from Utah. You're a nice guy. I like you, but I could care less about Utah.

Seriously. Baylor vs. BYU is a Holy War. BYU vs. Utah is like Spy vs. Spy

[TripletDaddy]

Seriously. Baylor vs. BYU is a Holy War. BYU vs. Utah is like Spy vs. Spy

not only that, but the Utes need to make up their mind. Are they a liberal minded/academics first school or are they driven primarily by religion.

It is a stupid term for the game. I get why zoobs would use the term but there is no reason for a Ute to call it the Holy War.
