Prepare for the most embarrassing and disgraceful day in Ute football history.
Mark My Words | 2:53 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
BYU will pull off the "upset". Utah = Overrated.
Go Utes! | 2:55 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utes by 25. Better team, that's why.

BYU is a paper (cougar?) that is about to get exposed like they did against TCU.
Utah has too much speed, too much motivation, and too much desire for BYU to
overcome. I like Bronco, but his Stephen Covey approach to football will get
steam-rolled today. It's that simple. The Utes have wanted more all
season. BYU will fold in the third quarter...MARK MY WORDS. Utah 38 BYU 21
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! | 3:25 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOOTBALL BYU FAN | 3:29 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The Utes played out of their heads against TCU and BYU didn't show up to
play at TCU, in fact I don't think BYU has looked that good. However, they
appeared to have a slightly easier time against Air Force than the Utes. I give
BYU the edge.
Simpletons | 3:35 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utes are going to loose. Ha ha ha!
utes all da way | 3:53 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
what channel is the game on?
gerald hartung | 3:54 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
BYU WILL LOSE BIG TIME YOU BUMS
loose? | 3:57 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
what?
Utes thrive on hatred.... | 4:00 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
while BYU trys to internalize the pressure. (This infuriates the Utes because
it makes BYU look holier than thou!) BYU can't handle this emotion, while
the Utes will be all over the BYU secondary, their weakest vulnerability as
usual...Cougs 9, Hate 38 !!!
Get real, | 4:05 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utah rolls. They're a team of destiny. Go UTES!!!!!!!!
Lights out | 4:13 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
There will be NO big, Utah, flashing, lights tonight.
TOUCHDOWN!! | 4:36 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The first of many to come. We're going to torch that pourous defense. Go
UTES!!!!!!!!
YEA BABY! YEA!!! | 4:57 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
POUR IT ON!!!!!!!
Basketball | 4:59 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Well, I think we will beat Utah in Basketball!
Mountain View Toro | 5:01 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
I hope that surely, somehow, some way, those of us in Mesa, Arizona, home of Max
Hall, will be able to see these cotton picking games next year. How maddening!
Mormon | 5:02 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
My Utes will prevail!!! GO UTES!!!!! 13-0
Unga | 5:07 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Touchdown Harvey Unga! Hey Utes, celebrating a bit early aren't you?
Same goes.... | 5:12 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
for Reed White. He played for my coach at Gilbert. Shame these guys left
town.
BTW, Go UTES!!!!!!!!

Give Blood | 5:16 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Play the Utes and beat them on their turf field...
Go Cougars...
Go Cougars...
Consistency Trumps | 5:17 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The Cougars are finding their rhythm...I just know they are going to have a huge
play...will rival the 4th and 18 or last second to Harline in the endzone!
In the dark. | 5:18 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
I have no clue when the game is and I guess I can't view it on line, unless
I pay, so I hope people will give score updates here, thanks :)
Not on TV ! | 5:19 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Except on something called 'the-mtn' which is only on DirecTV's
sports pack outside UT/ID/CO. I found the KSL radio audio on BYU Radio on Dish
Network, with occasional video highlights on ESPNews.
Unga | 5:22 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Touchdown Harvey Unga! Utes can't handle Unga,,again!
Mistakes | 5:24 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utah is not going to win if they can't stiffen up at on defense and stop
making mistakes.
Their offense isn't consistent enough to get into a 'track meet' with BYU.

So classy of BYU. A helmet to helmet hit.
RE: Nice Cheap Shot Kewgs | 5:30 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
It's called physical football Utes!! What a horrible call!!
MaineBYUfan | 5:32 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
it wasn't helmet to helmet. it was good football.
Re:Cheap shot | 5:34 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
it was a legal hit,no helmet! Watch the replay! Bad call by the ref!
What The... | 5:36 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
1:43 Running an option on the short side of the hashes..
How moronic!!!!!!

MTN Terrible | 5:38 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
They try to be fancy with the cameras, get sideline reporting which is
meaningless. How about letting us know how bad Fotu's injury is?
TOUCHDOWN UTAH!!! | 5:43 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
27-17
We've got to do a better job on A. Collie though.

fine. Didn't you see him on the field, making plays? 27-17. Great start
for my UTES!!!!!!!!
RE: 5:34 p.m. | 5:48 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Any call that goes Utah's way is a good call! Got it?
Vegas Ute | 6:00 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The PI in the end zone against the UTES should not have been called. Watch the
pass on replay. It was tipped. There is no PI on a tipped pass. The Officials
missed the call. Watch the rotation of the ball.
Maxie with a pesonal foul to set up Johnson's last TD pass. It dosen't get any better than that.
CUBERS your good but Utah is better. Johnson 21/25
228 yards at half......19:25 time of possession.
The Utes need to run more in the 2nd half. Keep the ball out of their hands.

Do I understand correctly that only 2.2 million intermountain cable homes are
getting the Ute-Cougar game?
I am sitting here in California at 5:30pm Mountain Time. I have a 600 Channel cable system that I pay a ton for each month. Right at this very moment the Nation's number 7 team and number 14 team are battling it out in one of the hottest rivalries in College Sports....with BCS ramifications. And I cannot get the game anywhere on this, the last weekend of the regular season. No TV, No webcast. Meanwhile, Youngstown State and Moorhead State are playing out their games live and in HD on my cable system, right now, along with several other meaningless games.
So who is doing planning and negotiating the TV packages for the MWC? Maybe it is time for them to come down out of the mountains for a minute, educate themselves on the endless distribution options available in Sports TV and online, and then set some larger goals for this great Conference?

HI-YOOOOOOO!
Cougs!!!!! | 6:27 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Mccain is getting worked, one touchdown baby.
oops | 6:30 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
one more touchdown baby.
football fan | 6:33 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
I would like to ask Max Hall if his first half interception felt as good as the
two he said felt good to throw at Utah State? Nobody is sight. How about
Max's great personal foul to give Utah great scoring position. Max Hall for
Heisman????
Collie | 6:35 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
What an absolute stud. Guaranteed Johnson wishes he had him on the team, to
throw it over his head of course.
football fan | 6:37 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Now two! Hope they feel really good for Max.
whew! | 6:37 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utes needed that one!
Great interception.
Great interception.
Hall | 6:38 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
He needs to step it up bigtime!
Re: Hall | 6:43 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Yes, he just did --fumbling the ball away to Utah.
Thanks.
AK Cougar | 6:44 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
BYU has 2 Int, 1 fumble and are only down by 3 to #7 in the nation. I think
they are doing quite well. If they stop the turnovers, the win is 15 minutes
away. Go Cougars.
We got to our lucky 34! | 6:47 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
I think we'll need more though!
Big fan | 6:47 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
We all know BYU will pull it off in the end, but it will be close.
GO BYU!!
GO BYU!!
