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.

Utes | 6:37 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Did the Coogs slip into the Alabama Uni's?
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
Go Utes!!!!! You deserve the win!
GO UTES!!! | 7:03 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009

Go UTES!!!

1984 my friends. 1984! This does not even come close even if you win. 1984! Can you say NATIONAL CHAMPION!

re: Levi | 7:23 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009

The only people that truly care about 1984 is David Lee Roth & Eddie Van Halen.
To: not to worry | 7:52 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
i thought you said it would be a tie by halftime, what happened?
RE: Not to Worry | 7:53 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!!!!

"1984 my friends. 1984! This does not even come close even if you win. 1984! Can you say NATIONAL CHAMPION!"

MI 6-5 or
Bama 12-1

Yes you are right this does not compare. Please name a ranked team 84 team beat?

Go Utes!! Roll the Tide!!!!
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?
1984 | 7:59 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
BYU beat a 6-5 Michigan team.
1984 NC | 7:56 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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.
1984 | 8:01 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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?
Go UTES | 8:03 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Anyone else see the MUSS stickers on the back of the helmets? Awesome.

Keep the big MO, Utes, keep that momentum.
Miami Dolphins fan | 8:01 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Play some Skynrd man... What's that 1 song they are famous for? lol.

Saban looks like he's been hit a freight train... I wonder if he'll leave for some D3 school somewhere in Appalachia?

re: red rocker | 8:07 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Rock On, but the red rocker is Sammy. Love the post tho.
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?
Uncle Rico | 8:16 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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!
Bama lover | 8:24 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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?
Re: Cougars | 8:58 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
LOL, Let'm come. 28-17
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.
Just me | 9:00 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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.
RE: Bama lover | 9:08 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Roll Tide Roll!!!

Utes 28
Bama 17

"Enjoy your few minutes of being in the lead. At least this won't be as Ugly as Hawaii last year."

LOL... yes Bama has dominated the entire game. Come on Utes... just take the lead for just once.
DEFENCE!!!! | 9:12 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Ute D has allowed 14 points per game...

This game was won in the 1st Qtr.

Roll Tide!!!
Zoobs You Still Have 84 | 9:16 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
So stop posting tonight and get out of little brothers spotlight!!!

GO 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
Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!!Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Tide!!!

Oooops we just ran into to the best program in Utah!!

Go Utes!! This game was not even close!! Go D!!!!
The only UNDEFEATED team is | 9:30 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
is not in the BCS conference!!

13-0 Utah

12-2 Bama

Cry baby Cry!!! We are Utah!!

Go Utes!!
Way to Go Utes! | 9:30 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Amazing is a word over used today. Tonight the Utes have been completely AMAZING! Well done.
SteveD | 9:33 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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!
BYU Canuck | 9:32 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
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
Normandy | 9:37 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
Roll Tide? Seems Alabama has been beached.
Bunk | 9:38 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009
The Tide Got rolled babby OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yeaHHHHHH
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!
