Utah Utes football: Team enters SDSU game on a defensive roll
59 comments | Read story
As for wiping up the field.... your BYU defense should go with Ludwig to the same Junior High.
Of course you do, and as a Ute fan, I hope AF and America's team destroy the kitties.
Reading zoob comments all season, all we heard was how utah was not going to hold up their end of the bargin, when it came to having two undefeated teams play on the 22nd.... well so much for that!!!
You're right about one thing... the 22nd will be a championship game for one team, and that team wears red.... so keep hanging on to your hopes for a piece of the championship.... and hey don't choke against AFA, like you almost did to CSU and UNLV... so you can keep those slim hopes alive....
See ya on the 22nd go utes... back on top of the conference were they belong!!!! Oh yea, and back to the bcs for the second time!!! The thoughts of that has to be eating all zoob fans, their little brother going where they want to go... again!!!! (I can't wait for the first 84 nc comment in retaliation... you zoobs are so predictable!!!)
I don't know how they are a better program, have you watched the past 30 years?? Who has produced more winning teams, conference championships, NFL talent and not to mention a National Championship!
Utah will lose to BYU and we will have to wait another 4 - 5 years for Utah to be overrated and competitive and than hear all you fair weather Ute fans come crawling out of no where to talk mindless trash to the better team in Utah.
Go BYU, even on a rebuilding year we will tie for the conference championship and beat OUR RED HEADED LITTLE BROTHER UP NORTH!
You ignorant fool, zachary was talking about the last 10 years. It's just like the pathetic BYU fans to delve back into the past before all of their current players were even BORN. 1984 was 24 YEARS AGO GET OVER IT!!!! 1984 doesn't change the fact that your team sucks in 2008.
YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND TO EVEN SUGGEST THAT UTAH WILL LOSE TO BYU.
BYU will never contribute a thing to the conference like utah has in the past 4 years. BYU will settle for mediocirty. winnin conference championships are worth about as much as a plate of dinner.
Get in line cougs, so you can get your charity donation from UTAH's BCS game. Realistically, I don't understand why we should give youguys a thing.
As for you, "Spoon and Fork MBJ," personally, I think you should post about what you know--in your case, go find a story about the fast-food industry. Don't let the Utes' demolition of their final two regular season opponents and their second BCS bowl game depress you too much--I'm sure byu will be just as overrated next year. GO UTES!
Utah 35
Kittens 3
BYU Top 15 to start the season; with Utah starting over. Sweet!
have some cheese with that whine "sick and tired"
Gotta laugh at Utah counting a spring scrimmage (April 1896) as their first win in the series; how desperate is that?
Anyone who knows anything about football knows that football has always been a fall sport; even back in the 1800's. But when you count wins against high schools and the local YMCA in your win total, whadya expect?
So did your Quest For Perfection t-shirt come with the disclaimer of "but in case we do lose, remember to call this a rebuilding year." How pathetic. You're already getting your excuses amped up for Nov22. Have fun traveling to the New Mexico Bowl, your red-headed step brothers from up north will be basking in the warm sun of Tempe, New Orleans or Miami. (Joe, those are towns that play "Real" bowl games after Christmas day that people actually watch. I wouldn't expect you to understand having never been to the BCS.) Upon our arrival home from another undefeated season we'll let out our Democratic economic side and share the wealth with the less fortunate Mtn. West teams like Wyoming, SDSU and the Cougs.
And to you "kitty" fans. Be ware: Air Force is for real and could push you to a solid 3rd place with two loses before you face a superior Utah team.
Enjoy your visions of grandeur before they are dashed for good!
How can you base so much on our one loss to TCU!!?? As I recall, the past couple of seasons the yewts have been pasted by Wyoming and UNLV! At least our only loss the past three seasons was to a ranked team that was FAR better than Utah at their place.
On another side note, you have only won the conference out right ONE TIME! And you were way overrated and beat a sorry Pitt team.
Utah, you aren't a good football team, but why don't you add some more colors to your jerseys and steal more traditions from winning programs. One day you may make it out of BYU's shadow!
I can't wait to see you guys crying in a drunk fit after you lose to the better team in the state, and than not hear from any of you for another 5 season.
Until 2013 my red headed little brothers fair weather fans!!
We all know the real reason why Utah fans don't want to live in the past when it includes the 70's and 80's:
BYU so thoroughly dominated Utah during that time that BYU made up almost a 40 game deficit in the series in 20 years.
In overall wins during that time period, it's even worse.
As much as Utah fans like to pretend that Utah was this jaugernaut of a football program before the 70's, the truth is that Utah was a mediocre team playing in obscurity until the last two decades.
Before the 1990's, Utah had only played in two bowl games in their history, had only finished in the Top 25 one time (in just one poll), and hadn't won a conference championship in almost 30 years.
No wonder Utah fans try so desperately to forget the 70's and 80's and pretend they never happened, because that's "living in the past."
I can just feel the anger and jealousy dripping from your forehead as you furiously type. You can throw out all the "we did this back when, and you did this back when, and blah blah blah." Just admit that the Cougs had 1 goal this season, getting to the BCS. They were so obsessed that the team and it's fans actually started the hype without the media's help. If you want to talk about a band wagon, walk around town and count how many Quest For Perfection shirts you see. The only place you'll find them is down at Liberty Park, they have all been abandoned and given to the homeless.
That over-rated Pitt team you mentioned, they did what your mighty Cougs couldn't; BCS baby. As did Boise State and Hawaii, and the UTES TWICE. You're cleary not the best non-BCS team in the country, and I'd argue that Weber would give you a run for your money for the #2 spot in Utah football. The only shadow being cast down south is that of the ego of your head coach, who has spent the last 3 weeks defending his record and downplaying the BCS. SO SAD.
It's ironic that the "Quest for Perfection" for both 2008 and 2009 has ended in the depths of October. First the Cougs get destroyed by a more athletic, talented and better coached TCU team; who those pesky Utes just beat again! Then your AD decides to try and schedule Oklahoma for 2009. Guess you'll have to keep that "Quest for Perfection" shirt in the closet again next season and pull out the "Quest to Beat the Utes and Damper their Season is the Only Hope we Have left" shirt.
I agree with Bronco, keep scheduling Northern Iowa State College of the Deaf and Blind, at least it gives a chance for your fans to quietly knit their scarfs and drink their caffeine free rootbeer in silence without worrying about losing to a real team.
Utah isn't going to go to the BCS this year, they will lose to BYU and than we will all live in the presence of three conference championships in a row for BYU! The BCS is an imperfect system that favors the lucky (Utah '04, Hawaii last year) Sure BYU wanted a BCS bowl, we will get it next year and you will be drunk fans hoping to have something to cheer for in 5 years.
BYU may not have a BCS bowl, but we have a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and ownership of our little brothers up north that have had one mediocre season in school history!

I hope you don't feel stupid now.
"Poor predictable Bart always picks rock."
"Good ol' rock, nothing beats that."
Poor predictable zoobs, always mentioning '84.
Good ol' '84, nothing beats that.
Every year when they lose, they can just say, "Well, this is what happens when you're rebuilding."
"Our Quest this year is to go undefeated as a band of brothers (a phrase I made up), to do so we will schedule a bunch of weak teams and hope that we don't have to play any conference games... those can be hard."
Good luck with The Quest 2, all you need is some paint to put on your shirts... and to be able to draw a 2.
With us going to our second BCS game, should we now be considered a BCS school?
To err is "Joe"
UNRANKED teams the TDS lost to over the last 3 seasons:

(d)2005 � at Notre Dame
(e)2005 � Utah
(f)2005 � California
(g)2006 � at Arizona

��you have only won the conference out right [sic] ONE TIME! And you were way overrated and beat a sorry Pitt team.�
WE have won the conference title �outright� in 2003 and 2004. YOU have won the conference title �outright� in 2001, 2006, and 2007. That�s 2 of OUR titles to 3 of YOURs, and, after 9 days from now, we may be even in that regard. �Even� except for the part where 2 of OUR 3 titles were followed up with a BCS bowl while none of YOURs could have come to that effect.
Utah's best win against an OOC opponent: OSU (23rd in AP poll).
BYU's best win against an OOC opponent: UCLA (3-6)
Utah's best overall win: TCU (15th in AP poll)
BYU's best overall win: CSU (4-6)
Any questions, boys and girls?

Here are some other teams who have won a "National Championship" in one of the polls in the past; Notre Dame, Colorado, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Auburn, SMU, Pittsburgh, Arizona State, and that tough, determined powerhouse you defeated earlier this year Washington. Funny, I know fans from these schools and most of them couldn't tell you when they won, they only care about their teams inability to win big games today. But I guess that BYU tradition is so much stronger than all of these schools it will never die and keeps the blue fleece over Cougar fan's eyes. The fact that matters: YOU LOST!!! 12-1 is good, just not U-T-A-H good!
