"Silly Utah fan always lowering the bar."
Just think it an act of charity; We'd hate to have fans of that school down south tax themselves with something so trivial and obviously beneath them.
So tell me...are there more drunks at RES or more zealots at LES?....and for that matter, which mind is more comprimised, the drunk or the zealot? Enlighten me. Whats next in the Lenny Gomes school of smack?

If the pundits are correct, the highly touted Cougars (22-4 over the past two seasons) could go into their season-ending rivalry game with a BCS berth on the line. It's not inconceivable, however, that the Utes could be playing for the same stakes. They return nearly the entire offense after winning eight of their last nine a year ago -- the sole defeat coming on a last-second touchdown by BYU in Provo.
This could be the most significant game in the history of the BYU/Utah rivalry...
if both teams perform up to expectations.
In regards to Mormons being arrogant, there are some (and the word "some" is very key right here) who are LDS that are arrogant. Please, realize that this in no way implies that EVERY Mormon, or even most Mormons are arrogant. If a Ute student kills someone, I'm not going to go calling every Ute a murderer. Use some sense people.
I'm more more excited and nervous about this year than any other. The high expectations of the Cougars make every game that much more important. I love the idea of us playing in the Fiesta Bowl, but it sure is heightening my nerves. Let's hope for met expectations.
Maybe you are missing the point:
All the important numbers have favored the BCS teams for decades.(Program budgets , bowl payouts and recruiting.) BYU and Utah never rank much above 40th in the nation when it comes to money and recruiting. However, both teams have proven records against the BCS teams.
Along with excellent coaching, I call it the teams WILL power to win. That line surge and a hand that blocks a field goal at the last second, an open reciever on a busted play. The will to never give up.

I apologize for causing your anger.
I don't mind someone who has had a drink. I'm talking about the "drunks", and you have been to RES, and know exactly who I'm talking about.
If I wanted to take my father to a biker bar, I would, but I don't.
Why does RES get a pass?
I have been to Raider games, and they have more class.
You guys embarass yourselves, and you blame us.
Sorry again about making you angry. That how Holy I am. I don't know if it is holier than thou, because I don't know thou. I'm sure thou art kind of Holy.
Peace
