"Strangest conditions:
Back in the 1960s, then-U coach Mike Giddings would try to give the Utes a competitive advantage against quicker opponents by watering down the field the night before the game."

Yeah, that sounds about right. The yoots have been pulling stuff like that for decades. That was seen during their 2003-04 seasons when their great example of a coach started calling BYU the school down south and put BYU stickers in their urinals. Real classy program that one. By the way, didn't coach Giddings realize that watering down the field would also make his own guys slower? Typical yoot logic, he must have majored in physics at the U: "For every action there is an unequal and opposite unfair advantage for ute-ha players."

Think before you type.

BYU has been caught doing some of the same things over the years INCLUDING watering down their field prior to a Utah Ute game when the Utes were the quicker team.

I also recall a game when Coach Lavell Edwards had your cougar offensive linemen came to play the Utes in Salt Lake City with RED gloves so they wouldn't be called for holding a quicker Utah defensive line. That tactic was later banned. I suppose it's "classy" when it's the coogals doing it?

A real classy program, that team from down south.

Actually Giddings only was blamed for the alleged stunt of water down just once. It wasn't his normal practice as the article suggests. Everybody wondered why the field was very playable for the HS Championship games on Friday before the game and then turned into a quagmire. Giddings got blamed for the stunt. Nobody knows if he ordered it. It didn't hurt Billy Stevens and the UTEP Miners, who he passed to another victory. You're right "Yep", why would he do it. It only hurt Utah's running game if anything. Another Urban myth?
