"Fact 4: Utah became the first BCS buster and won. Hawaii was next and failed."

Before you post your "Facts" get them right. Yes Utah was the first BCS buster, but it was Boise State that was next and they also won. Hawaii was the last one.

Cougar offense went 12/14 on 3rd downs. The two they missed were blatant holds on our receivers that the television crew wouldn't replay because they were so obvious. Get over the refs folks. If you are counting on them to give you a chance to win or to take it away then you don't believe in winning football. The Cougars earned the win, despite the refs.

I can't believe i just spent 25 minutes reading this!!
BYU is a good team... better than Washington.
line em up again, you'll see. oh wait we can't do that! the announcers should be ashamed of their call of the whole game too by the way.

Listen up Happy Valley Hosers! I have seen maybe 4 games in my life with worse officiating...
i'll spare you the list. I was only half watching, with my blind eye from across the room while making my plate of nachos and i saw BYU get held, clipped and facemasked. Pac 10 officials thought they were gonna get a pat on the back after the game!!!

oops I thought it would be a inconsequential call sorry!! BYU would kill UW in Provo! KILL!

I hate to have to say this by my Cougs are simply over rated. Oregon showed how bad Washington is last week. This week the Cougs who were ranked above Oregon and needed to block a kick to preserve the win. Give me a break.

Wow. 737 comments (and counting) on this game, if you include the "Mendenhall disappointed with reaction to call" story. In fact the top 10 Most Commented section has 8 stories on sports, mostly BYU football. (About the only other thing that got people as excited was the LDS Church statement on gay marriage). Do you guys ever take your wives out, read to your kids, or do your home teaching? or are you all in college, majoring in Sports Commentary?
