The first of 2 victories left! BYU beats AFA by 17, then goes up and spoils
Utah's BCS destiny. Collie will get his hundo, and the defense will gain
momentum now that Brandon Howard is finally out. Nov. 22nd will be full of
fumblerooskies, Asiata direct snaps, Loucks with the QB sweep to the right side,
and of course King Louie with the fake punts. Go Cougs learn to play defense
this week and you'll be crowned for the 3 peat!

It's going to be a great game no matter who wins. I'm cheering for
BYU, though. Both teams are going play very well because so much is on the line.

What channel is CBS-c on direct TV in the Salt Lake area?
Re: SiMPle | 11:16 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
CBS-c is channel 274 on comcast. But it's part of the sports package, which
you may or may not have.
It's the channel I watched my Utes beat a team that slaughtered your Team Down South.
I'll be watching this Air Force game. They can't pass, which means you'll probably win. But if they could, man oh man you'd be done. Just like the Utes will do to you next week.
Go Utes

BYU cannot win at AFA today for the simple reason they are unprepared. They are
not quick enough, nor are they focused to get the job done. And they are not a
top 25 team...you can't be in the MWC. They are #15 west of the
Mississippi. Take a look at all the teams in this area. Utah a top 10 team.
Give me a major break. They squeak out a home field win over TCU in the last
couple of minutes and are rewarded with that ranking. Come on Ute fans.
Florida is the #1 team in the country if there is such a thing as #1 by pure
analysis of the season.
Nevertheless, I am still rooting for the Cougars to win....I could care less about rankings....they are a serious joke. Take a look at what has happened to all the #1's, #2's, etc....when they lose one game, they drop precipitously in the polls. It would make just as much sense to rank every team who defeats a #1 to become #1 with the victory. Whoever the pollsters are making up these polls are just acting in a convoluted manner.
I am seriously rooting for BYU/win/out/the/remainder/of/the/season.

Ok war kittens we need you to play your very best and scrape out a win here. We
need you to try to stay in the top 20 so we can give you a million bucks! Go Big
sisters!
Re: BYU Fan (the original) | 11:43 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
as I read your blog, I thought to myself --wow, a Cougar fan with some logical sense.
Then, you lost it with this "...I am seriously rooting for BYU/win/out/the/remainder/of/the/season"
I guess what they say is true --Cougar fans and logics don't go together.
'Till next year...Poinsettia Bowl is all you can wish for.

have fun getting POUNDED by the academy. Air Force might set some sort of
record for rushing yards in a single game today. You will be demoralized coming
into RES and Utah will win 63-7, thus giving you another million plus dollars of
our hard earned BCS money. I'm tired of consistently going to BCS bowls
and sharing the money with BYU. Have fun in the Humanitarian bowl, I hear the
weather is great this time of year! I'll be sipping champaigne in Miami or
New Orleans!
BYU WHO? | 1:08 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
BYU HAS 0 chance of beating AFA or UTAH especially UTah, The game next Saturday
is a fore gone conclusion. Over. Done. No way, no how, no possibility that BYU
will even stay close. Utah is so far superior to BYU it is not even close. Why
even play this game, instead BYU should come out on their knees and offer the
trophy, humbly to Utah and say "o great ones, we are NOT worthy to do any
thing more than administer this trophy to you"

Re: "I'm tired of consistently going to BCS bowls and sharing the money with BYU..."
I would hardly call making it to 1 ("1",one, uno...) BCS game 4 years ago a pattern of consistency. You haven't even made it there this year; if you make it, you would have made it 2 out of 5 chances. Still not something I would deem as being consistent. I guess that is understandable that you make such erroneous claims, given that you are a Ute fan!

Whenever I see people say so and so has "zero" chance on something, I
will wonder what they know that I don't. If they really know about the
future, they are not fliping burger now....
rdha | 2:20 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
I messed up on my last comment relating to BYU Football. The BYU/UTAH game
isn't Today, it's next Saturday. I spaced out so I'm a fool.
Anyway, GO COUGARS and best of luck against AIR FORCE. I've got nothing to
say to the naysayers because I won't waste words in debating. I love BYU
Football and that's all.
RE;rdha | 2:27 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
LOL, you're such a fan that you don't even know who they play?
That's a good one.
Does anybody know what time the Jazz play the Lakers tonight?

I thought Bronco was all about discipline and accountability. Why then, does
BYU continue to make so many boneheaded errors?
Sigh. I suppose it's my own fault for caring.

MWC

Hey look there are ALL of the teams in the MWC to ever make the BCS. For some reason I can't find byU's name in there anywhere. Compared to *NEVER* once or twice is infinately better.

GO AF....... for this game, my team is the UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brendan | 3:27 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
I was not intending to make a case for BYU going to a BCS game, or the lack of
BYU ever going to a game. All I was doing is pointing out the problems with AFA
Blowouts claim that the Utes have consistently been to a BCS game.
1 in 4 years, maybe one in 5 years if BYU beats Utah next weekend. That is 25%, or 20%, depending on which way things go. If your kid came home with a 25% on their test score, would you be bragging about it? How about if you only got paid 25% of your wages that you earned. Would you be bragging? No matter how you look at it, 25% is NOT consistent. Spin it how you like, but a dog is a dog, no matter how you look at it.

How's this for you....BYU has 0 chance of beating UTAH. BYU has 0 chance at

BYU is STRUGGLING with AIR FORCE! Their defense is so weak.

GTO | 4:15 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Great job in 3rd quarter Cougars-21 points! You are doing much better against AF
than Utah did! Send Unga into the flat and throw to him! AF can't defend
that!
91 yard drive! | 4:35 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Austin Collie game defining drive! Go Cougars!

Hey Utah boys. Are we just a LITTLE bit nervous. The sure-win seems to be in
question.

Brandon Howard intercepts the ball in the end zone! Bring on the UTES! See you

BYU's OCC SOS | 4:50 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
We know one of BYU's "so-called" BCS opponents will get a win today for sure. UCLA is playing Washington today --battle of the losers in Pac-10.
Oh Yea! | 4:51 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
The Cougs are rollin, just in time for the Yewts. I feel a lot better about our
chances after this convincing victory over AF. Let's hear all the Yewt nay
sayers now! Bring it on!!
B Rand | 4:55 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
I guess BYU is better then Utah now because BYU beat Air Force by more then the
7 points Utah beat Air Force by.... I love this little comparing game..... Utah,
you are overrated, and we're comin' at ya firing on all cylinders
baby.... SDSU has nothing to lose against you tonight at home..... could get
scary...
Hmmm... | 4:56 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
BYU beats AF by two touchdowns, in Colorado Springs... Funny, Newts managed on a
one touchdown win, in SLC... So, okay, BYU lost in Dallas and the Newts barely
won in SLC...
Looks close to me... Go Cougs!

re:afa blowout | 12:12 p.m | 4:56 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
If you are tired of BYU getting some money from your one BCS bowl, imagine how
tired BYU is from the many years of Utah sharing their bowl money with the
losers up north.
zero chance | 4:58 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
that zero chance of BYU beating AFA just turned into BYU beating AFA by twice
the margin that red team won by.
Oregon State | 4:59 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
34-21 over Cal.
OSU is still in control for a Rose Bowl bid.
That would help Utah's BCS case tremendously after next week win over BYU.

keep runnin your mouths.

Do you know how foolish you look now? You might consider keeping your
predictions and analysis to yourself. Or maybe you were trying to fire the
team up.
If so, consider a coaching career - start with Junior Jazz...

Zero chance of beating AFA?!?!?! In your face!!!!!!! GO COUGARS!!! We totally
beat them, and i bet that you watched the whole game to see if we lost. and to
your dismay, we WON!!!!!
Utah alum | 5:06 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Yewtes...I think it is going to be a tough loss next week. Wittingham and the
swoops (in black now, used to be crimson and white) don't stand a chance.
I'm just glad that Wittingham went to BYU cause he is such an embarrassment
to ute alums. I can't wait to see the classless hawk (used to be redskins)
fans make complete fools of themselves in the annual mock religion game.
I'd still be a ute fan if they were still the redskins, still wore the
school colors and played against BYU instead of the LDS church. Hey maybe to
fill the stadium you could go down to Temple Square and bus in some of the glbt
protesters. You gotta love it.
nope | 5:06 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
not even a LITTLE bit nervous. See, the sad little cougs have lost a game.
The Utes are unDEFEATED. Too bad the boys down at BYU don't know what that
feels like.
Y Grad / Y Dad | 5:07 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
There is nothing to say to ignorant Ute fans. To try would imply caring, and I
don't. The Ute team? Big time respect. Ute fans? You got nothing.
Ignorance is nothing. Arrogance is less than nothing.
If Utah wins, great job Utes. When they lose, in the last minute, and Collie makes the difference, your silence will be deafening. And oh so welcome!

BYU | 5:10 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
BYU has a great chance of winning utah, utah had to come back to win air force,
BYU won 38-24 if BYUs defense plays like it did today we will crush the Utes,
because even though Utahs defense is good BYUs offense is one of the best in the
nation with the best receiver in the nation and a quarterback thats on the
heisman watch leading them, so if Utah fans are saying that there's 0
chance of BYU winning utah they must be scared cause theirs a good chance.
Mark in Peoria | 5:10 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
It goes without saying...but I'm gonna say it anyway.
Even if BYU were to upset Utah (yes I did say upset...well, at least it would make me upset), BYU would not be in a BCS bowl. Rest assured, all of the power-6 conferences will be cheering for the cougars. They don't want any non-BCS team taking away one of the BCS $lots.
Bottom line: Either BYU beats Utah, ends up 11-1 and playing in the Poinsettia Bowl. Or they lose to Utah, end up 10-2 and play in the poinsettia bowl.

Crowers Eat Crow | 5:11 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
To the many who crowed a few weeks ago that BYU would lose to Air Force and lose
two or their last three, I have just one question: How does your crow taste?
Oh, and by the way, don't get too filled up on crow this weekend. Save room in your tummies in case BYU beats Utah next week. Tee, hee!

Good Win! | 5:11 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Wait a minute! I thought BYU was going to get killed. Didn't Utah need
another last minute drive to beat AF? hmmm.
re:desert cougar | 5:13 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
AFA can't pass so no I am NOT nervous. November 22nd is just another
lowly speed bump in Utah's road to their second glorious trip to a BCS
game. Utah is not one dimensional like the TDS Boogers. The Poinsettia Bowl is
not a bad place to play in December. Hope you enjoy the large check courtesy of
the Utes. You're welcome.
Ute fans | 5:14 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Once again showing your football IQ by predicting AFA to win. You must have
gotten your education at the u of u. It shows. Now what was the score when
utah played AF? Did you notice that Max Hall set a MWC record for the most
touchdowns in a single season? Did you also notice that Austin Collie is the #1
receiver IN THE COUNTRY? Keep your predictions coming. It just bodes well for
the Cougars!
