Harline what and 4-whatever is all over babe!!!
2 times BCS busted when BYwho was supposed to, better team won today!!
Face and love it!!!!!
Go Utes!!!!
They are clearly in a league of the own.
Rather than make up your own game, why don't you just admit that Utah's D had BYU's number all night.
1-Aaron said that Utah has yet to play a good team, assuming he's a byu fan, thanks fr making our point clear.
2-Enough with the talk about how classless fans are. I've been to my share of Ute games as well as some big-time SEC and big 12 games. I am yet to see a Ute fan intentionally throw up on the opposing team's bench. If you wear burnt orange to a bar in oklahoma-you will get punked, and vice versa. Please folks, alot of these fans are unruly college kids, let them be. if you don't want to get trash talked as a byu fan, don't show up to RES in blue.
3-Guess what folks, the last drive started with 8, count them 8 minutes to go. It isn't KWhit's job to stop utah, its the kewgs and they coundn't do it.
I have attended games in almost every stadium in the conference and of all the ironies have to say that the most hostile environment I have ever encountered was not here in Laramie, but down at LES in Provo. While attending school at the U, I went down to 3 games in Provo and heard more profanity from the Cougars than from anyone else. I had drinks and trash thrown on me and had many people doing their best to incite me to violence. I have read your honor code and being LDS heartily endorse it. You forget that your actions not only reflect upon yourselves and your school, but reflect upon your church- which also happens to be my church. Please show respect to your school and your standards; not zealotry to hypocrisy. Go Utes- lets break the BCS a second time.
To say that only LDS alum talk about BYU is crazy. I work with so many sports nuts and none are Mormon and everyone of them knows about BYU past history...more than I do!!
Utes have a good team and will represent the Mountain Conference well but get real!!
P.S. Check the list of players from both colleges that play in the NFL, BYU has about four times as many as UofU
A National Championship!!
If not Michigan, then who? The Holiday Bowl was not a national championship game because only one team had a chance at a national championship and the team they played was terrible.
If we had the BSC system in 1984, BYU would NOT have been national champs. BYU's national championship in 1984 has a big ol' asterisk next to it followed by creation of the BCS. Thank you BYU!
Fast forward to the present...
BYU 24 UTAH 48
Milli gave his award back.
Gee i wish i had gotten the heisman trophy and then get annhilated by hawaii and get both my shoulders seperated!
Enjoy your trip to the Las Vegas Bowl against some horrible PAC 10 team like Arizona who will beat you.
If that does not work out for you, there is always the Armed Forces Bowl where you can play a power-house Rice team on a Tuesday with a 12:47 pm kick time. What's the pay day for that bowl game? $427.50!
we can always kill utah at home next year for the BCS birth!!
You have a good team, I'll give you that, but your fans are sadly in general vile and raunchy. Not all of course were like this, in fact the couple next to my wife and I and some others around us were very very nice. And I was in the Crimson Club section. I can't imagine what it was like in other sections. I'm not saying BYU fans are perfect, but I've been to several rivalry games at our stadium and I've never witnessed Ute fans being mistreated like my wife and I were multiple times tonight by multiple ute fans.
BYU in 2009!
In 1984, BYU was ranked #1 at 13-0 and locked in the Holiday Bowl. Washington was ranked #2 and was locked in the Rose Bowl. Had they had the BCS back then BYU and Washington would have played for the BCS Title.
But don't feel bad. All you have to do is switch it to: BYU just suffered the most embarrassing day in BYU history. See? All fixed now.
Here's a scenario for you...
If the field goals had been hit, Utah would have kicked a field goal from the 40 instead of punting and made the 2 point conversion after the touch down. There, Utah STILL wins.
See I can do it too.
Utah has now "busted" into the BCS twice. EVERYONE that follows college football knows of the U. of Utah program. BYU hasn't been in the national spotlight for 24 years. That's a very long time.
Older people that followed college sports back in the 60,70s and 80s would know that BYU was known as a strong football program and Utah was a strong basketball program.
Utah and BYU are the flagship universities in the MWC. They are both known programs but it's the U that has the most exposure now.
Oh Puh-LEEZE!!
YOU LOST. IT'S OVER. IT WAS, AND IS, REALLY, REALLY EMBARRASSING FOR YOU.
No amount of "Next year we'll..." or "last year we..." is going to erase this disgrace from BYU.
Get a grip, and accept your loss gracefully.
Quest for Perfection jinxed your season, that Bronco can sure ruin a season.
Should the Cougars have gone to the movies this summer to see the Dark Knight, rather than practice?
BYU fans are just as nasty as Ute fans, having attended 29 straight Utah-BYU games, neither is better nor worse than the other. Get off your high horses and quit being pompous.
Where are the "special coins" the team was to carry with them at all times, I think Max lost his.
Doing the "haka" is soooo high school, and disrespectful, but go ahead and think it is cool, NOT!
You do not deserve the Las Vegas Bowl, TCU does.
Why do byu fans insist on chanting the letters b y u, repeatedly 78 times before stopping, it really is annoying and you should be smacked for it.
If Max Hall is voted the MVP of the MWC I will throw up, he does not deserve it.
At then end of the 2004 season, the bottom fell out of Utah, can anyone even imagine how amazing Kyle Whittingham has returned the Utes to glory...and finally...
GO UTES!
Utah = W
BYU = L
