U vs. Y '12

[LA Ute]

I wouldn't doubt your mothers either. After all, in vino veritas.

Hey! Take that back! Not all Mothers Who Know are BYU fans or grads.

I concur with all of those sentiments about Wynn -

the biggest dream that the average American kid has is to play QB on a big stage. Wynn's got a taste of it but I'd imagine that almost makes it harder - the two years that were supposed to be his showcase years got wrecked by injury.

As another dude who occasionally rocks longish hair because the ladies can't stop touching it [run with it], my heart goes out to Jordan.

This one?

Yes! Nice find. It wasn't until now that I realized Surfah is in that one.

That actually made me laugh. Unfortunately it took two minutes of viewing that shit to find out what you were talking about.

I'd always wondered how he found enough time to post as much as he does here and fulfill his duties as PC Laptops CEO all while living back east. Now he's making music videos. WTF?

Tis true. For example, Lucy Mack died before she could behold BYU with own eyes.

BYU has a better winning percentage in the PAC this year than Utah.

They are both undefeated vs. PAC12 opposition.

Only one has a record "in" the PAC12.

The other record is merely "vs." the PAC12.

After Saturday, BYU's undefeated record vs. PAC12 will be over. OVER I TELL YOU!

Special thanks to YOhio and his mad photoshopping skills for another iteration of the rivalry banner.

Why didn't he Photoshop the BYU player to be taller than 5'7"?

Should have used Ziggy as the model, not Ogletree.

I, for one, am not buying the diminished expectations game many Ute fans here are playing. I don't care about your injuries, suspensions, hemorrhoids, or questionable coaching hires.

You are freaking Utah, and this is rivalry week! When has Whit not had his team ready for this game? No QB? Most of you guys weren't crazy about Wynn in the first place. And besides, when your QB goes down you have Brett Ratliffs step in.

Don't you guys remember 54-10? Of course you do, but you're trying to get our hopes up with your artificially low expectations. On the field warfare is one thing, but psychological warfare on message boards is really low. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Nope, I am not buying it.

True that, Utah has the best front four in the PAC12. Star will be drafted in the 1st round for a reason. Utah has already found the O-line problem and will have everything fixed by Saturday. White the 4th will play and will take all the pressure off of Hayes. On the other side; who has BYU beaten? the Y's O-line couldn't push either WSU D-line anywhere. Wassu was not expecting a tight end to catch the ball. Utah will be ready for it. Riley will make two or three bone-head throws. the WSUs couldn't take advantage of them. Utah will make the Coogs pay big time for those plays.

I probably would. Their passing is skill is a push but Chuckie is a better runner and does not have a history of making bad decisions.

Chuckie is 100% better than Riley (except the hair and abs). There is a reason the Aggie fans are glad Riley moved to Provo.

Ross Apo will be the breakout player of the week. 2 TD's and 125+ yards. Mark it.

Riley and Apo have NO connection at all. Riley will throw his direction once or twice. The second would be because Riley doesn't see who he is throwing too; he is just throwing it up to a blue shirt.

Wynn was a thorn in BYU's side. I wish him the best with his future, but I for one am glad he won't be able to play the Y and find a way to beat them again.

And finally; Kyle Gunther hates me because I greet him at LES stadium and I wish him well. We all know why Max Hall hates the U.

[Coach McGuirk]

great shot as a SI pics of the week. Hope Utah sees a lot of this.

I read this post and then see your game prediction and I wonder which one of these is the real Rickomatic.

Look, I've been trying to bite my tongue, but what the hell is wrong with that banner? You couldn't have made it more atrocious if you tried. The guy with the pituitary gland problem looks like he's about to kiss the midget.

I know I was the first one to mention the height of the BYU player, but I will say that despite this I like the banner overall.

YOhio: Remember our deal. You say anything, and the second payment is toast. And in that case I wouldn't bet on the health of your knees either.

I have never and will never ever do a deal with you.

Okay. There has been some talk about the banner by a vocal minority. I'll explain. I was looking for one of those classic pictures looking down the line of scrimmage where both teams are helmet to helmet, but the only ones I could find were of years past when the teams wore home-away jerseys. I wanted to find one from last years game where the teams were both wearing home jerseys because that's what they'll be doing this year. I didn't see any and then I happened upon this shot of Tree gettin' all up in the face of John Cullen and I thought it was a great pic. That's it. I didn't mean to make BYU fans with an inferiority complex or short people feel bad. I just liked the picture. Here's the original.
