Utah Utes football: Team expects Cowboys to be intense
88 comments | Read story
Utah has been elevated to most favored opponent status, ahead of BYU and Colorado State.
Congratulations!
See ya'll Saturday.
Playing Utah isn't normally nearly as exciting as playing a big-time team like BYU or USC, but we really want this game for our coach.
Don'believe me now? Utah fans, you'll all believe me later. Go Cowboys!!!
a win is like kissing your sister, you do it but with out much passion
A "big-time team like BYU or USC. I wasn't aware that they were playing on the same level. To my recollection BYU has not played in a BCS bowl, Utah has. USC lost to Oregon St, where Utah did not. Now, I am not saying that the U is better than USC, but I am saying that I don't think there is much separation, they are all nationally ranked teams.
GO Utes!

Utah are lossers.
"Utah's ability to score down the stretch proved to be the difference against the Falcons and Beavers. It's no accident. The two-minute drill is something the Utes pay a lot of attention to..."
I have to agree with the Ref: Jim B comment above. A big reason the 2-minute drill has worked so well is because the opponent went into a stupid prevent defense. When are DC's going to learn that their teams get burned doing that? If your D has been doing well the whole game then stick with it, don't throw in the prevent defense. Sheesh.
No other gang of college men dare meet us in the muss will be the refrain in Laramie on Sat. The Utes are going to be 7-0.
(Yippie Kai yay)
Watchout........
I know that the Utes can win, lets just hope that they don't play down.
GO UTES!
Utah fans seem more interested in bashing BYU than in talking about this week's opponent. They just better hope the Utah players are more focused.
Remember, "on any given Saturday" any team can beat any other team, especially on the high plains where the opponent has plenty of extra motivation to ruin Utah's very promising season.
Kyle may think the hatchet has been buried, but I'm sure the Cowboys would like nothing better than to bury that hatchet in the collective back of the Utes.
GO UTES!
Of course living in Laramie can have that affect on a person.
That was one of the best posts I've seen from a Ute fan ever! It's great to see some humor and some class instead of the sophomoric drivel that we see far too often on the articles.
The Cowboys don't have much of a chance against Utah because they don't have much of a team. But posts are still entertaining when the writer has a brain advanced beyond kindergarten.
It just goes to show...there are no true cowboy...er, I mean cougar fans. Only Ute haters. It's sad. And to think that living in Provo is punishment enough.
GO "COWBOY" ZOOBIES
Something tells me that you are just another fan from down south. Nobody else in the country would put BYU and USC in the same category.
Looks like you "Koogs"(look I can spell your name wrong too) are once again aspiring to be something you never will be.
7-0?
I was expecting something more like 44-0.
Offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig wouldn't deny that there are some trick plays in the works for Saturday's game. "We like to try those sorts of plays when the opposing team least expects it. Most teams think that's in a clutch situation. We think that's when we're up by 30 or 40 points." When asked about quarterback Brian Johnson's inconsistency in the Oregon State game, he said, "I'm not worried about it. Brian is one of the premier quarterbacks we've had at this university. He's right up there with, well, he's not as good as Alex Smith, but there have got to be some other good quarterbacks to compare him to. Um, I'll get back to you."
So, did you get your education at BYU?
So, you kiss your sister??? I never pictured that from a Ute fan, but if you insist ...
It's true we can't stand BYU more than any other school in the nation, however, we grudgingly have no choice but to respect them (no conference losses in 3 years, national champ, 30-years of humiliating defeats, etc). I also must admit that Utah is pretty good this year and Urban Myer did perform a one-time miracle for you guy a few years ago before he left for a better university (I don't know how your coach does it this year, with limited talent).
Anyway, I really think our fans in Laramie are going to get us pumped up and we will shock Salt Lake City. Look for my comments after the game (if I'm wrong--I WON'T BE--I'll still show up like a WYOMING MAN and admit it). Go Cowboys!!1
I don't think that Wyoming will win this game, but don't be surprised if you see the Utes getting laid out more than a rotten Latin soccer team all over the field.
If I were BJ, I would have a box of Depends handy on the sideline. Not only was the Cowboy team embarrassed, but the whole Wyoming fan base. Maybe if the Utes wear white pants, a pair of Depends won't be so obvious to viewers on t.v.
UTAH 54
WYO 16
Johnson - Magical
Louie - its up going going - GOOD
Tantum two running backs - 6 - again
O-line - Making it happen
D-Line - No gain
No byU is not arrogant, just the football players, the fans and the student body. Actually, Collie is arrogant enough for the whole team.
what MWC team has the worst attendance? Wyoming
what MWC team has one of the worst win/loss records over the history of the MWC? Wyoming
what MWC team was on the verge of losing its Division I status because of attendance and athletic accomplishments? Wyoming
what MWC team should be lucky that they aren't in the WAC or worse? Wyoming
what MWC school has the worst stadium and the drunkest fans in the MWC? Wyoming
what MWC school has the least attractive location (Laramie) in the MWC? Wyoming
what MWC school should be kicked out of the MWC in favor of another school? Wyoming
I do agree... be careful wearing the opposing colors in War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys and Cowgirls at U of W are passionate. Last year a church friend wore his byu Blue to Laramie for the game...he was flabbergasted that the U of W fans were so "crazy" and disrespecful.
Was it a byu player or Utah player that commented after a game about how nice it was that they served beer in plastic bottles now in War Memorial Stadium.
