BYU football: Dreams can be dashed at TCU
160 comments | Read story
Keep it classy on the blogs. I've been a Utah season ticket holder for nearly 30 years for both football and basketball. It's a fun rivalry and very competitive. It's fun to badger each other a little on here but let's remember, we are fighting for the same cause, to defeat the BCS structure as it exists today. Out two schools could have a winning record in ANY conference.
Good luck BYU!
GO UTES!!!!!!
Good luck Cougars!
Win decisively on the road and the respect will vault them into the next tier of poll-ville. Lose and the best you will get is the Lost Wages bowl and that only if you can beat Utah and Utah beats TCU.
The Quest continues Thursday night so bring your "A" game and don't let up! The eyes of the country are upon you!
The week after you lose to New Mexico in Albuquerque!

Speaking of frogs, I've heard frogs-legs is considered a delicacy in the South. The should enjoy feasting on frogs while they're in Texas.
Go Cougs!!!
Schedule strength will even out as the season progresses, which means the Utes will have to struggle to hang on to BCS ranking while BYU will slowly climb in ranking. Don't forget that BYU and Utah had similar opponents in Weber/USU/Northern Iowa.
TCU deserves to be respected and this will be a tough test for BYU. I believe BYU can win this game. They just have to play one of the best games of the season to do so. Can BYU's offense score against TCU's tough defense? I think the game hinges on that question. Coug fans- Don't be fainthearted over remarks from the naysayers. BYU is a very good team and will play like one Thursday.
BYU played UCLA in week 2 and they are 2-4.
Utah Played Michigan in week one and they are 2-4.
Sounds pretty similar to me...
I am quite certain that your hope of having 1/3 of the crowd be zoobies on a Thursday evening down in Texas is completely unrealistic.
Maybe in Logan a few weeks ago, a town that is a few hours away on a weekend evening, playing a team that has struggles to get fans to come, yes, that is possible. But not for this game.
Regardless, I am hoping for a close game, I love upsets.
Diagnosis of Earnes T Bass - Is he a Cougar fan, a Ute fan, or does it just depend on the day? I appreciate that he uses his name but I have to admit it is hard to tell where his allegiance lies on any given day. My guess - he is a jack or former Mormon who still hangs on to some love for BYU but takes swipes at the Church and the Cougs whenever he gets the chance - despite some lingering love for the Cougs that comes out on his better days.
In all my years of watching football, I have never seen a team end up as a big red smear on the face of the field. It'll be interesting to see if your prediction comes true. It'll tell me a lot about your football knowledge.
Baby, "You can Rise and Shout because the Cougars offense will be out!" The O-Line is domonant this year! They have allowed only ONE Sack! Yes, only 1-sack through 6-games.
Now Dutchman, mark my words: BYU can play with the Big Boys this year, and Mr. T said it best in Rocky III: PAIN! TCU will suffer the wrath of the Big O-line and experience the pounding of Harvey & Fui as Austin & Pita run wild in the secondary!
Cougars - 31
TCU - 10
That's all I have to say about that!
GO COUGARS!
If they both want it badly enough, the win will be BYU!
WANT IT & WIN IT BYU!!
should read:
BYU will end up with a big red smear on their uniforms from what's left of the Utes.
Personally, I don't BYU will beat TCU. I hope I'm wrong, but sense I'm not.
No difference.
The stands at RES will be empty either way.
