Gunther: We want to invite all the fans to the Red and Blue Rivalry Classic at Jordan High School on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. This is a flag football game between former Ute and Cougar greats, and all the proceeds go The Road Home. Ironically, every year the team that wins the charity game has their team lose on Saturday, so look for my team to throw the game this year.

Dyer: If I am a BYU fan, I worry that in the last two rivalry games Utah has been able to put up big numbers in the fourth quarter, and that seems like that can be an issue for BYU this year.

If BYU's offense gets clicking (which we have yet to see this More..

Dyer: "I hate that me being loud and cheering for my team is taken as a personal insult to BYU fans."

I don't think Dyer's statement is true by any stretch of the imagination. It's the personal invective and worse directed at More..
