"Growing up in Texas and watching the intensity of the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry, this rivalry is every bit as good as that. The reason I say that is because it's a 52-week, 365-day-a-year competition between the two schools. Not only about the football teams, the heritage and families it goes beyond that. That's why I equate it to the Texas rivalry." Matt Thomas, radio voice of the Utes
"I've said it over and over, that this is the part of my work that was the most fun. Utah-BYU is the best week of the year. I don't think there's anything like it in all of college sports because of the way religion creeps into it. To me, individual games don't stand out as much as the plays everybody made, and there are so many. I remember Gary Barker returning an interception 100 yards (in 1967), Randy Gomez's pass to Frank Henry (in 1978), the 57-28 game with Scott Mitchell (in 1988). Utah-BYU . . . there's nothing like it." Bill Marcroft, longtime Utah radio broadcaster
