"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" - The Rivalry Thread

[Moliere]

Does Utah have their own track yet or do they still share one with East High School?

Of course, a site like this could be created for every team under the sun. It's nice that someone hates BYU so much they obsess to this degree though.

They just dislike us so much—it's irresistible.

Add another couple reasons for the rivalry not going away.

I forgot about pelting the refs after the Utah game. that was awesome they deserved everything thrown at them.

Was that the 54-10 game? There were some questionable calls in that game.

I love this thread so much. It almost makes me wish I was living in Utah again so I could see some actual Ute fans and experience the angst in person.

I work with several ute fans. They've been conspicuously quiet so far this year. They're waiting for BYU to lose a game. I would appreciate a nice quiet year from my coworkers.

They must not be listening to local utah sports radio which has at least a half dozen guys promoting the idea that beating Michigan and utah state is way more impressive than BYU beating Nebraska and Boise State, which is really not a big deal.

Not to mention the Utes greasing up the ball on the first series.

KWhit is on record that he likes the way Belichik coaches.

Agreed. There was also a play in which they should have called offsides for lining up in the neutral zone, but they didn't. A few more I can't recall, as well.

But enough with this threadjack. Back to lacrosse!

My favorite part of recent trash talk is when each side deplores the dirty play the rival team exhibits, while laughing when their team is able to sneak in a "well-deserved" shot or two, as a sign of "toughness."

This is textbook homerism.

That's funny you think that is what's happening.
