I hope the unstoppable Utes don't get lonely as they sit on top of the
conference all alone. Hopefully they can look past AFA and TCU to say hello to
the Zoobs in 4th place. Take your place Zoobs, subpar at best every year.

I mean I guess we have to beat SDSU first before we start on the TDS. But hey,
they play SDSU, only one of the worst teams in America that has mailed it in.
So lets get this going...
Utah will dominate the "WHY" because their defense is talented, fast, and not to mention just plain good! Collie in all of his greatness had a bad game against Utah last year except for the blown play. I expect the same this year. Max never looks off Collie and Peta which really helps us out. Harvey is got as my 4-year old calls it several "owies". No worry there!!!
And finally, Utah will put points on the board against the vaunted TDS defense.
GO Ute... Utah 59-6 over SDSU, and 38-24 over TDS...
Hey cougs, if you lose to AFA, and then get beat at Utah, technically your qwest for perfection is still good if you throw out your 0-3 against teams with WINNING records...

... now? Let's see how the Newts do against a nothing team at the bottom of
the food chain. As for you "All alone," what do you mean "subpar
at best every year", are you talking about the Newts? If the Y is subpar
every year, why have they beaten you guys the past two years and are two-time
and defending conference champs? I guess that makes you red-headed step children
"sub-subpar"!
Utah wins outright with... | 5:14 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Won't Utah claim the title outright with their win over the Aztecs and the
TDS's loss to the Falcons? Assuming the impossible (i.e. The TDS actually
beats Utah), that would mean Utah and TCU end up tied in the conference
schedule, but Utah beat TCU head to head.

Don't they look great? We just need 3 more.
I am a Utah Man, sir, and I live across the green,
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.

Lets not forget that BYU was all alone for the past two straight years. The
Utes have played well this year and quite frankly BYU should be worried for next
week, but anything can happen in a rivalry. It will be interesting to see if
the Utes can put together undefeated back to back MWC seasons. (Oh that is if
they win next week.)
Hello | 9:16 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
I'm a Big Ute Fan and our team is so great we could beat the NY Giants
right now and win the Super Bowl. How do I know this? Why, look at how we
absolutely blew TCU out of the water at a very tough place to play, RES. Sure
they lost to Oklahoma by a much bigger margin but Oklahoma just got LUCKY and
the refs were helping them just like they always help the team down south on
every play of every game. That's the only reason the team down south wins
ANY games at all and EVERYBODY knows it. And the only reason we ever lose any
games is because all of our players are injured, not because another team is
better than us.

Hahahahaha! The 1st two posts are from BYU-obsessed yoot fans who stayed up (or
got up) in the middle of the night to post comments so they could talk about BYU
when it's an article about yoot football! The little brothers up north just
can't leave it alone, always trying to pester their Big Brother BYU. Always
jumping up and down trying to get the attention of their Big Brothers "Hey,
look at me! Look at me! I'm important too!!" Just too funny!
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

BYU is going to smash Utah in Salt Lake next week. I can see Brian Johnson
leaving the game, because he is fragile! He is not an accurate passer either,
and will make mistakes. Expect at least two interceptions from B. Johnson given
to the BYU defense.
Two years in a row, Utah thought they had the game won late in the game, but BYU proves time and time again that they don't give up, and they will come back to win the game.
BYU wins by more than 10 points next Saturday. Utah, you can enjoy the Las Vegas Bowl, and BYU will have a nice Fiesta in Glendale, Arizona! Go Cougars!

Go Utes... take care of business... don't get obsessed with
perfection..JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!11-0 has a nice ring to it.

You won't win. This week or next. And Boise is not going to lose. So how
are you geting into a BCS bowl?
0-3 against schools with a winning record. NICE!!!!
GO utes

re History repeats itself:
You can't honestly be banking on two interceptions for your high school defense. We didn't turn the ball over at all to TCU; are you saying your D is better than the best in the nation? Maybe we should ask Colorado State, or even TCU themselves.... It seems like the team that should be focused on this week (byu) is looking to next week; meanwhile, the Utes remain focused on another BCS party. Keep dreaming, cougies! 1984 was a long time ago.
GO UTES!

So ewe think BYU has no chance to beat ewe this year little lambs? Gee what a
coincidence, that's exactly what ewe thought last year and the year
before...
re: Utah wins outright with... | 12:57 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
That would be nice, because that will probably be the scenario (not the loss to
TDS, just the games this week), unfortunately there are no tie-breakers in the
MWC to determine the conference champion. The only tie-breaker used is to
determine who goes to which bowl.
Re: History Repeats Itself | 1:09 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Small correction...the last two years BYU was SUPPOSED to win, and win they did;
with a last minute miracle.
So, this year it looks like the Utes will be the favorite. Given the outcome the last two years when BYU was expected to win going away, I would not bet against the Utes next week.
Think about it!

Though you hide behind the anonymity of this board, your writing style is
unmistakable. Earlier this week one of your fellow BYU fans said that you do
not reflect the values of Coach Mendenhall and that BYU does not need you as a
fan. One of your own shut you down...hard.
I am going to tell you now that your words are not clever they are irresponsible.

Re: Obsession | 1:30 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Dear Brother Obsession,
I've explained this to you before so let's go through it again, please pay attention and try to learn this time. Little brothers receive gifts from big brothers. This is because because big brothers have to take care of their little brothers. That's just the way it works in families.
So far, it is the Utes who have bestowed more than $1 Million on TDS. In fact, BYU has NEVER done ANYTHING for ANYBODY.
So, will the 'real' little brother please stand up (if he has enough backbone to do so).
Sincerely,
Big Brother Utah Fan

RE: Hello | 1:35 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
ha oh i get it, you are using sarcasm. How clever of you, you must be tickled
pink with your self. It is cute when BYU fans do things like that. Are you still
upset about having to toss your sweet new t-shirt, you know the quest for
perfection? oh yes i forgot you can still wear it to be perfect off the football
feild. Are you upset Utah already has 10 wins and BYU does not? I am sorry that
Utah is the better team. Well hey look at the bright side you defense might
limit AF to only 315 yards on the ground. Still you will have to wait another
game to see what a COMPLETE team does to you, well i guess you already saw
against TCU
RE;obsession | 2:55 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
You claim the Ute fans are obsessed with BYU and yet here you are, a BYU fan on
a Utah article accusing us of obsessing over you. This just in; Pot calls
kettle black.

Tonights Prediction:
Utes 42
SDSU 14
In other news relating to Utah's BCS chances:
1) Oregon State remains in 1st place of PAC-10 with win over Cal (two more wins and THEY are in the Rose Bowl)
2) Michigan's worse season ever. Nice to see the Utes added to their misery...though it won't help their chances with the BCS.
3) Colorado State and UNLV are one win away from being bowl eligible. Should both win their final regular season game the MWC would finish with 6 bowl eligble teams.

Who's hiding... and I am really sorry I missed that, wanna say what article
you are talking about so I can read it?
When did I ever say that I represented Coach Mendenhall? He has to talk for himself and does, I talk for myself. As for one of you Newties pretending to be a Cougar fan and spacking me, I would have to read the comment before I can comment, but my opinions are my opinions and I stand by every word I have said... Go away little Newtie!

OK i have a problem with what you guys are saying. I am a devote Utes fan, but i
have to disagree with some of your ideals and opinions. Number one (in answer to
hello): Utah did not blow TCU out of the water. we had a thirteen to ten win
which required quite a bit of luck. However, regardless of whether or not we had
beaten TCU we played far better that the Y. I believe BYU lost by oh lets
see............................. twenty six points? Number two (in answer to
history repeats itself): BYU is in absolutely no position to assume they have
already beaten Utah. Both teams are formidable opponents and deserve a set
amount of respect. On one hand, BYU's offense is absolutely amazing once
they get rolling (mostly due to Max Hall). On the other hand Brian Johnson and
his offense put together a drive that completely blew past the TCU defense and
scored a touchdown to wil the game. BYU never made a touchdown against
TCU's awesome defense. In fact,
Anonymous | 5:35 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
their lucky they scored a field goal at all. Also, Utah's defense managed
to hold TCU at bay. Another feat that BYU did not achieve. Granted, BYU had a
great win over the Falcons, but with the way UTah is moving down the field I
certainly would not want to be a BYU fan at the moment.
RE: poster 1:17 p.m. | 5:56 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
You are making this personal instead of answering the issue, if the Y is
"subpar," what are the Newts that lose to the Y regularly?

Why do BYU and Utah have such a rivalry?
Rivalry ... | 11:23 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008

Sometimes both are in the sky, but the sun always shines brighter!

Shines brighter?

Which light bulb is brighter, the ~50 watt bulb or the ~30 watt one? Take your time answering. I know science isn't one of zoobie's strong points.
