Go UTES!
GO UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYU fans - quit hating because Utah is going to be the AP National Champion and now you have nothing to hang over our heads. Wah, wah, wah......waaaahhh!"
To 12:23 -- You do not understand sports. Be proud of who you are, and not who your are not. The game tonight had nothing to do with BYU.
Congrats to the Class Ute Fans, Ute Team, Coaches and Program.
Every Blue BYU fan I know was Pulling hard, and are impressed with your accomplishments..
Congrats and respects.
Apps to the classy Y fans. I had hoped for a win for you @ Vegas, to give the MWC the respect it hasn't really had until this year. A couple years back, I thought your program would fall off after a large senior class moved on, but you've stayed in the mix because your program has staying power. Utah's program has proven it's program has staying power. Four years ago, tons of Y fans were telling us to enjoy our one moment in the spotlight and how everything was going to the gutter with our coaches being hired away. As you Y fans know, success breeds upon itself, Lavell proved that. Our recent success, will do likewise. Our rivalry with you guys will continue to be intense, the way it should be. All we Ute fans have heard for the past three weeks, is how deep, big, and talented that Bama was. So losing a few guys on the OL shouldn't have mattered. Even the pre-game chatter mentioned how impressive Bama's practices were this past week. Caught them at a bad time...flippin' A my eye! Vaunted Saban ... no change ups on D? Over paid!!
Yaaaaaaawwwwwn!! Good luck to Zoobs next year!!
LOL... you can't even beat a weak UofA team but for some reason you think you can beat Bama. Go back to 84 and stay out of little brothers spotlight. Little brother is shinning while big brother lives in the past.
And you are right we are not top 5... what we are the only UNDEFEATED team in the nation. Can you Zoobs say the same?
Quest for Perfection was proven at the Suger Bowl not at the Vegas Bowl.
And, as a member of the Husky 1984 marching band, but a BYU fan even then, I have to disagree with this:
"And by the way. In 1984 the Univ of Washington was the REAL #1 team in the nation regardless how the rankings worked back then.
I've had fun teasing my BYU friends for 24 years about it...."
Best defense by far that year, and i don't think I've seen the equal yet in college football. But the Husky offense, that was another story. Very unpredictable. Showed up for the Orange Bowl, and we trounced the Sooners. I almost lost my life arguing that BYU still deserved the championship. And they did. Go MWC!!
What a game! I am still hoarse, and I watched it alone on TV. Thanks for a great season.
Utah by 5! (teen) Death to the BCS! Utah is the only undefeated team still standing and just dominated a BcS superpower. UTAH is #1!
Please leave the other stuff out, including 1984 references and what is going to happen next year, baby, when we get you into LES. Man, that stuff is tedious!
I'm a year-round Cougar fan but a huge Ute fan tonight!
You're welcome, just don't screw it up.
Respectfully-
1 - Utes rolled BYU
2 - Utes rolled Bama tonight!
Go UTES! SHOULD BE RANKED #1
Way to go Utes!
Go Utes!
FOX needs to assign homework next year when Utah plays in the BCS title game!
You earn the award as...
biggest whiner!
AND
biggest loser!
the utes dont deserve to play in a bcs game. No!!! They deserve to play a team that is acctually good, not to take away from one of the best wins I've ever seen but Utah state's d posed more of a challenge than Alabama showed at times during the game.
Still waiting for someone to say Alabama didn't show up that's why they lost, or they lost their lineman, its alabama they have one of if not the deepest depth chart that still has talent all the way down. If they had all their lineman I predict 5 sacks instead of 8. The utes d is to dominant to lose to anyone, and their offense is at times just as potent as any big 12 team.
For Utah to have done it in 2004 and again in 2008 is unbelievable!!!
I can now die a happy man ...
Congratulations to all the Utah players and their coaches. Your grit and determination are awesome. Thanks for the greatest game I have ever watched.
Thanks to the classy Cougar fans who have posted tonight.
Go MWC. GO UTES!!! You deserve a shot at the National Championship after this game.
I'm a BYU fan and want to apologize for the few tards that have posted on here and probably never set foot out of happy valley. Way to go lamo's talking about '84 and next year, awesome arguments. Give some credit to the Utes, they ran the table and beat some solid teams along the way. And for the idiots that say BYU would have beat Bama I say don't smoke crack. They wouldn't have because they would have played their soft defense and we all know how Maxine performs when it counts (TCU, Utah, Arizona).
So way to go Utes, what an awesome season. Hopefully you get many, well deserved votes in the AP poll. Too bad there's no playoff because it would be great to see them play OK, FL, Texas or SC next weekend. Maybe someday.
Given that fact I can see why USC deserves to be national champs.
Oooo BTW what team in the nation is ONLY one undefeated? I will give you a hint, it is not USC.
We are ALL proud of you! You did this one for the biggest fan you have ever had (JBW).
Last time I met him 10/2007 I asked him if he had "repented" yet (of being a Ute fan). His immediate answer, with a grin, was "Never, not a chance".
This is a lesson to all those Cougar and Ute "fans" who do not know what this is all about.
Sportmanship first and always.
Way to go Utes!

ps. Now we could change UofU's name to BYUoU to honor the founding father of both...
This is some of the best defense I have ever seen played and the offense during the first quarter was awesome.
Hopefully the Utes will get some respect in the final vote...
Even though Leslie has NO IDEA what she is talking about, this was a HUGE WIN FOR UTAH AND THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE. HUGE, HUGE, HUGE!!!
It was good for everybody.
Nice to see some accolades from the BYU fans.
I won't stop smiling for weeks over this.
As for everyone else in the country that wasn't undefeated, to quote many BYU fans, "There is always next year".
It's just a game.
I'm a Ute through and through, but I WILL be cheering for the Cougs next season ('cept when we play them, of course ;) . We've done our part to show what we out West can do, and now it's time for the Cougs to step up.
Viva la resistance! Down with the BCS!!

I Bleed Blue but you have to respect what Utah has done tonight. You have to give respect to earn it.
Utah shut up Switzer and Johnson...
Utah did what I thought they could not.
All respect to Utah for what they did tonight. Congrats Kyle, I loved to watch you in Blue, but you made the whole state proud.
We'll take a crack at you next year, but enjoy your victory.
