Utah Utes, BYU football: BCS busting: the sequel
753 comments | Read story
To all you negative bloggers, you embarrass yourselves on either the blue or red side.
Yes, I was disappointed that Max Hall was the "Player of the Game" for Utah. I can't describe how badly he forced things and didn't control his emotions. I hope he learns from this experience so he will be better next year.
Cougar offensive weopons for the most part come back next year (Utah loses many). . . and we should have Utah and TCU at home next year . . . hopefully, the stars align . . .
I hope the BCS does not disrespect the Utes by giving them a worthless team to play. There is absolutely no reason they shouldn't play against any team ranked higher than them.
Go Utes, you carry the banner for the Cougars as well so beat this dumb BCS monopoly and hope for Obama to sweep in and bring a play-off!
>>So the Utes won tonight. Sometimes Evil prevails over Righteousness. It happens. The scriptures talk about it. Just remember to stay true to your faith.<<
Wow! I havem't seen anything this twisted since reading Super Dell's blog.
>>Why is it that almost every Ute post has to end with "GO Utes" Think of something original....<<
A BYU fan complaining about lack of originality?
p.s. Go Utes!
Care to compare his age with the age of your players.
Care to compare his bank account.
He'd be considered a younger QB if he entered BYU right now.
Stop with the 1984 stuff already!! Shheeezzee next you'll be taking about your dentures.

>>Why did they let Blaine Fowler call a BYU game?
Listening to BF whine after the Utes hit 47 was priceless. At least, Todd C would've taken it like a man.
>>Bronco needs to hire a defensive coach.<<
I thought Mendenhall was a defensive guru. Oh wait; BYU is no longer running that goofy 3-3-5. Funny because it relies on a quality secondary which BYU hasn't had and probably never will.
being 7 and 5 or 8 and 4 or whatever we have finnished the past couple years makes being undefeated again, going to the bcs again, that much better.
BYU keeps going 10 and 2 and keeps going to the vegas bowl.
max hall really wishes he was a ute. thats why he kept throwing us the ball. he is my one of my favorite utes!
>>Socalutefan,
BYU players and fans should be ashamed of themselves for bring God into athletics...oh that's right, they justify everything (right or wrong) that way.<<
They were on a crusade like the current outgoing president was on 9/16/01.
Please. Boise had to hold on against the Wolfpack much like BYU against CSU, UNLV, Washington, etc...
What about the righteous tatoos I've seen a few BYU OL sporting over the course of this season?
i was in the north west corner of the stadium...lots of classless utah fans all around...i mean really classless...not all, but a significant number for it to be a trend...lots of foul language and middle fingers used for sheer shock effect...i ride the train once every 2 years to go to the rivalry game, and for the most part, RES looks like they emptied out west valley and gave everybody a read hat and sweatshirt...
ha ha ha ha ha
U T A H !
Yep, they had it right about you. People like you are immature, dumb, stupid and very brain dead. Get a life, man!
You are an ignorant fool no doubt! Also, I'm a fan of none! I don't chum with idiots!
Though I am a BYU fan, I give credit where it's due. Utah deserves it and I can only wish them the very best. Great game!
Why thank you for that nice insight. I guess that means Brian Johnson is a chump who put it together his senior year, too. Yes, thanks for bringing that up.
Hall.....be thankful Kruger didn't eat you for thanksgiving dinner!
/Sheeeeesh!
I, too, was in the North end-zone and was amazed at the classless fans. 99% of the comments were trashing Mormons and had religious hate and overtones. Unbelievable. The taunting had nothing to do with Football or BYU and everything to do with "Elders, fasting/prayer, Bishops, Temple Recommends, etc." Plenty of fbombz and fingers. Unreal.
I've lived in Alabama and Washington State and have witnessed first hand intense rivalry with Auburn and Oregon/Wash. St, respectively. Those matchups have nothing to do with religion and are just about Football and tradition.
I, personally, think its about time to give this game a break--maybe a 10 year hiatus and let things cool down. BYU did this with Hawaii and Utah St. and I think it's time to re-think this once a year excuse every year to legalize Religious Persecution.
Arizona 45 BYU 13.
Dang, now its MWC vs PAC-10 as 6-2.
BYU 24 UTAH 48 Deal with it.
Come on - lets hear about 2005 and your game with Utah one more time.
You guys don't even know when postings are put up just to get a rise out of you..and it works! I have suspected that many postings for both sides are posted by opposing people just to get people to write in.
Seriously, Congratulations on the win! You deserved it and definitely were the better team this year. This Cougar fan wishes you great success in your BCS bowl!
Well said.
The BYU mythology on Utah just keeps growing and growing with every lost. When I was there, the big myth was us throwing wine on the BYU vistors , like it was in the UTAH play book - not sure what started that. I really thought Wyoming fans picked on you more.
Are you students at either school? Do you have any idea of the mix your talking about at either school?
These statements really sound clueless and un-educated.
You can't stop people who are neither alumi or students from watching the game and buying tickets and if they hate something, yeah maybe they'll say bad things, but to assume its tied to Utah students/alumi or staff is a shame. Please think about what your saying. Those kind of words would "hurt" a lot of Ute players as well. Its common knowledge that many Ute players have finished missions.
GO UTES!!!!!!!!

You want to stay free of a court that you don't trust. Don't do the crime. DUH.




Look at your Basketball team - watch them again run through the conference then choke in the first round. You BYU fans know your weakest and that's what gets you fired up over other MWC teams that can win outside the conference.
