    Boy, you guys are sure good at giving advice that you seldom follow.
    It was irony, hence the big grin.

      You might not have been offended, but what about the Maori? Ute fans were more vigilant than the ACLU last week about cultural insensitivity. Frankly, I'm impressed with the restraint they've shown over last couple days. Very classy to just let this one go and not make a big deal of it.

        I couldn't care less, and I wouldn't have been upset if some byu player forced them to stop. It was still an epic obliteration of every aspect of your entire program. I hope you withhold your cougar club contribution rather than continue to support a program in the first stages of its death rattle.

          The game commentators misspoke. It's not the Haka.

          Utah doesn't do the Haka.

          http://www.coachwhittingham.net/home...ghlight-videos the first video shows what Utah does before and after a game. It's some Poly thing, but it's not the Haka

          If you want to see it, you'll have to suffer through all of the Utah highlights.

              The Polynesian cultural dance that shows respect and humility towards a proud heritage and culture, without overstepping any bounds of tradition or honor.

              Much different than the haka performed in the past by Brigham Young University and mocked by University of Utah fans.

                  Is this supposed to be good natured ribbing or the boorish behavior that it appears?

                      Every aspect of BYU's athletic program? What about hoops? We own the all-time series with Utah. I would hate for that to just disappear.

                        But we'd be leaving on a high note, and BYU would own the series lead for time and all eternity.

                            Oh please. Spare me the high and mighty act. Your 24 hours of civility is up and you cougar fans can handle a tiny bit of ribbing.

                            It is good-natured ribbing and a modicum of retribution for the widespread merciless devastation strewn about following the TCU game last year. Both sides generate propaganda, but the winner of the war writes the history.

                              'Athletic' is your word. I referred to football only. The facade has some deep cracks, and they need to patch it up before chunks start falling away and big donors start sabre rattling again to shake up the coaching staff.

                                The Utes will be in the Telestial-12 with their soulmates, Cal and Stanford.
