Goodbye Utah! | 6:17 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
We'll see you after the annihilation. You're going down--the Tide are
going to roll right over you. I feel bad for some of your players but who will
suffer this, but not your coaching staff nor most of your fans.

Coogs? | 6:47 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Hey, c'mon, give BYU a little credit. It was close until the 3rd - Alabama
looks more like Wyoming right now.
Go, Utes! | 6:55 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
I'm a BYU alum and huge fan and I'm cheering on the Utes. I hate the
BCS system and want them to prove that other conferences deserve respect. So, go
Utes! Blow out 'Bama.
BYU Fan | 7:02 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009

"The Tide will tie it by halftime and blow out the pansy Utes"
Pansy Utes 21
Roll Bama 10
Bama offence has done NOTHING!!!!

MI 6-5 or
Bama 12-1
Yes you are right this does not compare. Please name a ranked team 84 team beat?

Hey Levi | 7:57 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
that was 1984, what happened this year? stop living in the past, welcome to the
21st century
really? | 7:57 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Well "Not to Worry" looks like you were wrong. It's halftime and
the big scary tide is still getting choked out to the tune of 21-10. I've
been hearing real football is played in the south. Are you guys all talking
about soccer in South America or something?
Texas BYU Fan | 7:54 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Go Utes! You are making us BYU fans proud.
Dave | 7:55 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Yeah, 1984, right.
In 1984, BYU was the national chapion, and Milli Vanilli was the biggest thing in music.
Tell us, who else thinks 1984 is something to remember?

Wow, was really wondering how long it was going to be before zoobies pulled that
one out. Thank you, Levi, you've been very inspirational.
Just remember, 1984 is just a book to the rest of the world. You're the only ones who care about that, however, the entire nation is watching Utah tonight.

Your right, that is the last time the Cougars won a meaningful bowl game.
By the way, how was the Vegas bowl? Did you renew your wedding vows?

Anyone else see the MUSS stickers on the back of the helmets? Awesome.
Keep the big MO, Utes, keep that momentum.

Hey Levi... | 8:09 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Hold on to 1984. You will need it to survive the mediocrity that is BYU
football today.
BTW, I'm guessing you weren't even alive in 1984... Right?

This 1984 guy reminds me uncle Rico. I wonder if he's wishing he was
sittin' in the hot tub, soaking it up with his soul-mate. Go Utes!!!
Cougars????? | 8:25 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Why the discussion about BYU? This may be the utes biggest game ever against a
true bcs opponent.
Bama kindly spotted you 21 but here they come. This will be even more embarrassing when bama rolls! 21-17 and on the move. The utes are dead!!!!!!!!!! Did I hear a large choking sound all over salt lake valley!

UTE fans....your choking pretty fast. Tide will roll in the 2nd half. Tide 38
Utes 21. Enjoy your few minutes of being in the lead. At least this won't
be as Ugly as Hawaii last year.
mtj | 8:44 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
THe Tide SOOO wish they had sakoda on their team right now.... and we are SSOOOO
glad the DON'T!!!
BYU still center stage! | 8:52 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
I love reading about BYU when the Yewts are playing the biggest game in the
HISTORY of the U of U. Keep worrying about us, I love it!!
SEC=overrated | 8:54 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Way to suck it up, Alabama. The only rolling the tide will be doing is rolling
over to play dead to stop the massacre.
This was the team ranked number one for several weeks? Really?

MWC Fan | 8:59 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Forget instate rivalry. This game is about the MWC vs. the BCS, and the BCS is
coming up short!
All season long Bama had only been behind a total of 40 minutes. Now they've been behind to Utah a total of 45.
BYU deserved a higher ranking before AND after the TCU game, and Utah deserves to be in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

I am a BYU fan. Sadly they lost. Now the spotlight is on Utah. Go Utes! Cream
the Tide! Make us proud!"
BYU Sal-"ute" | 9:08 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Great job Utes!! Any true Cougar fan should be impressed and know this only
makes us all look better. Excellent showing thus far! We could certainly learn
a thing or two. Now finish the job and bring one home for all of us.
**To all supposed Cougar fans making pansy pokes at the Utes--you are embarrassing us. Show some class and cheer on the Utes.

BYU fan rooting for the Utes | 9:23 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Look close at the left rear of the Ute's helmets. Every helmet says JBW
right across from the player's own number. That kind of homage deserves
praise.
Only 13-0 Team in the Nation!!! | 9:25 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009

Amazing is a word over used today. Tonight the Utes have been completely
AMAZING! Well done.

What has the BYZoo got to do with this beautiful game? GO UTES!!!! Make all
of the MWC proud!!!!
Utes have won no matter what happens, and I hope Barry Switzer bet a million dollars on alabama!

Awesome game!!!! Congrats Utes. I enjoyed the game immensely
SoCal BYU Alum | 9:39 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Utes are very impressive tonight. AP voters don't have to vote NC to BCS
winner. 13-0 with an impressive win over Bama could get some No. 1 votes and
possibly a NC?
It could happen. I was hoping that SC's win yesterday could possibly bring an AP NC to the Trojans, but not with an undefeated Utah team.
2 mins. left in the game, but outcome is decided.
Congrats to Utes

Cougar Fan | 9:41 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Awesome job Utah! Way to show the BCS schools that they aren't all they
think they are. I hope that all BYU fans can congratulate the Utes because they
really showed that the MWC is legit. Thanks again!
