I guess we'll find out just how good Kruger is against the best offensive lineman in the country. That'll be some challenge.

Sad ute fan would rather play Va Tech or Cincny in the Sour (I mean Orange) Bowl? I think we'll put up a good showing. We can't lose any worse than Oklahoma lost to USC in the 2004 BCS championship game (played in early 05). OU surely did not belong there; our Utes or Auburn should have been there.

It's such a long time between games. Why doesn't the MWC end a few weeks later like everyone else? It's like a whole new season.

Good luck to Kruger. He was handled by BYU's Reynolds - he never sniffed Hall - and now he is going up against the alleged best. As I said "good luck."

Man, guys, it's college football and ANYTHING can and will happen. The Utes are undefeated. Take that attitude to New Orleans and do your magic. Tim Tebow beat us with his attitude. Utah is a great team. Us Alabama fans (the real Alabama fans) are excited and a little scared about playing a team that should be in the title game. It'll be like playing Flordia again, only you guys are UNDEFEATED!!! Good luck, keep your chins up, and remember that only two big time college programs went unbeaten this year. Go Utes!
Go Gators and ROLL TIDE!

Re: Sad ute fan | 8:33 a.m. Dec. 13, 2008
BYU/Boise State fan, you did a pathetic job in calling yourself a "Ute fan." It wasn't even a good effort.

If you're a BYU fan, we have scoreboard on you, 48-24. Also 53-33 (total overall record). If you're a Boise State fan (most likely, because they can't leave Utah and BYU alone), your "great" season has come at the hands of the 12 worst teams in college football. TCU will put you in your place.

Utah has had a tremendous season. They have defeated three top 20 teams, and have shown an incredible ability to rise to the occasion. Brian Johnson has a Joe Montana-like ability to pull out tough games in the end.

My prediction: Utah 21 Alabama 10

From Vegas Ute:

Nice Try "Yner".

I could tell there was a cougar around these parts.

Check the Youtube "To Kill a Cougar". It's classic.

Advise to PK: Just think of of that big tackle as an elephant playing a banjo. Ta da ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Now thats scary.

How do you eat an elephant.....One Bite at a time.

Great opportunity UTES.

Go Utes....devour the Pachydirms (don't forget the banjo). You can use the strings to floss.

Re: Koreancougar. | 12:12 p.m. Dec. 13, 2008
bylosers reynolds? Who is that? Did he play in the game. Good one... Kruger didn't sniff hall. Yeah I am sure there was no pressure from the defense on hall...only one fumble recovery by Kruger, one interception with return and how many other interceptions? ... I forget. Yeah no pressure from Kruger for hall...so amazing the fantasy world of lies you coug fans live in. By the way it is a team effort and the Ute team annihilated the cougar team..especuilly the defense...oh wait we doubled your score and scored 48 pts on a "ranked" team...I guess the offense ruled you too...You guys are lame.

UT VS. BAMA=MWC EMBARRASSMENT | 12:44 p.m. Dec. 13, 2008
'Bama: 45
Utes: 14

Utah couldn't stop Unga...how are they going to stop 'Bama's running game. When Alabama watches film on Utah they are goin to see that Utah can't stop the run....so they'll smash the Utes in the mouth all game and then throw over the top when they need to.
As far as Johnson goes...he sucked against anybody that had a decent defense. Queen Louie is the only reason you beat teams this year...oh and by the way even if 'Bama misses 2-3 field goals like TCU did, it won't matter cuz utah won't be hanging around for a last minute prayer drive.

Yners still talking and talking | 1:26 p.m. Dec. 13, 2008
Let's see here. The Yner fans of the 3rd place team from the MWC, the one that is headed to Las Vegas to play the 5th place team from the PAC-10, are stil talking and talking and talking. Do these numbers mean anything to you Yners 80-31. . . that's the combined score of BYU vs. Utah and TCU.

TCU should be in the Sugar | 1:51 p.m. Dec. 13, 2008
I am a huge BYU fan and I'll admit that upfront. But the team that really deserves to be playing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl is TCU.(I would be saying this too if BYU was playing instead of Utah, unless BYU smashed TCU, which they didnt) TCU was easily better than both BYU and Utah this year. Their only real loss came to the hands of OU, and there isn't anyone in this country that is willing to argue that Utah or BYU is better than OU. Just admit you guys lucked out against TCU and don't embarrass the MWC too much.

You know you have a high-powered offense when your MVP is your kicker! (oh yeah and when your defense has more points scored than your offense!)
Utah Offensive Game Plan #1= PRAY THAT OUR DEFENSE GETS A TURNOVER AND RUNS IT IN FOR SCORE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH JOHNSON GO 3 AND OUT!
Utah Offensive Game Plan #2=Johnson, PLEASE CAN YOU AT LEAST GET US TO THE 50 YARD LINE BY FOURTH DOWN SO QUEEN LOUIE CAN KICK IT.....PLEASE!!!

Would you rather...? | 2:27 p.m. Dec. 13, 2008
Would you rather get beat by an Alabama team in the BCS?

or

Play against a 5th ranked Arizona team in the uh hem, las vegas bowl?

The only thing keeping cougar fans sane is saying, "Oh utes are going to get hammered by bama..."

uh huh, and what happens if utah beats alabama? What will the excuses be then?

Like I said I would rather play alabama in the sugar bowl, than the before christmas terrible pac 10 team against byu.

"...what happens if utah beats alabama? What will the excuses be then?"

tdS fans will go on and on about how we have no chance against Alabama; they are too big; too fast; too strong; too well coached....

But, since you asked...

If we DO beat Alabama, tdS fans will change their tunes to "Alabama was the WORST BCS bowl team this year. Even [input Orange Bowl loser team here] would have beat the Tide, only they would have scored more points while allowing fewer". Let's not also forget that our win would have been considered "lucky" or due to some "bad call" by the refs.

You and I both will know they don't really think that, but they have shown themselves as incapable of being honest with their fellow man (see Sad ute fan | 1:47 a.m. Dec. 13, 2008).
