Can't wait to see the Utes in HD this weekend on Versus. Good luck guys
and take it to the Falcons! Utah v Air Force is always exciting.

With the entire Ute nation obsessed with the happenings in Provo, it
wouldn't be a bit surprising to see the Falcons steal a win in SLC.
Re: Distraction U | 1:55 a.m. | 7:15 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Don't flatter yourself. I couldn't care less about what happens in
Provo. Provo is...well...Provo and I'm grateful I don't live there.
Point is, the entire Ute isn't obsessed with "the happenings in
Provo" as you claim.
My Utes and their fans are focused on the task at hand. The MUSS will be ROCKN' on Saturday!
GO UTAH!!!!!!!!

Distraction Who? | 7:21 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
What is happening in Provo that would distract the Utes? i have not heard coach
Whit or any player say anything about Provo dating clear back to last November.
What | 8:44 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
distraction?? Utes will be in the shower by the time TCU/Y kickoff. The only
distraction will be whether the Utes eat dinner or watch the Frogs thumping of
the Cats.
the orignal.. | 8:58 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
I believe Utah was the first school in the non- BCS or MWC for that matter to
have the college gameday crew @ their campus..(2004) .. the Utes are the best
MUSSed game | 9:02 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
I heard the MUSS was planning to crash Game Day instead of going to the Air
Force game.
ProvoFan | 9:15 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Provo is a dump. No self-respecting Utah fan spends any time in Dullsville
except to pass through while headed south on 1-15.

It amazes me how many BYU supporters use this forum to disparage the Utes and
irritate Ute fans. Have they nothing better to do? The word that comes to mind
is "puerile".
Hats Off to Them | 11:13 a.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Many schools talk about the challenges they have recruiting athletes. Notre
Dame fans cry about how their academic standards are so high. BYU fans
constantly bring up how their recruiting pool is so narrow and they have a
restrictive honor code. Those things may be true, but no one has more
challenges putting a good team on the field than the service academies. Air
Force has been putting a solid team on the field for a long time despite their
challenges.
I respect them for the team they put on the field and the service they give our country.
With that said, my Utes are going to beat them.

I'm pretty sure the Utah team is focused on the game, not what's going
on in Provo. They'll probably watch the game or at least know about it
since it affects the MWC race, but it's sheer stupidity to say that the
team would be affected in any way by the TCU/BYU hype.
The fans are a different story, but fans can lose their focus all they want without affecting the outcome of the game as long as they show up to support their team.
I promise the MUSS won't be missing the AF/Utah game to crash the gameday set. There will probably be a few wannabe Yewts who show up to the set, but anyone who misses the Utah game to wear Ute gear at the gameday set is a BYU-Hater, not a Ute fan. There's a difference.

I'm tired of hearing about '04.
Live in the now, Ute fans.
Truth hurts but most of college sport fans are wrapped up in the happenings of Provo tomorrow.
Fact is more people comment on BYU football articles. More to be said. Better team. More sportsmanship from Y fans.
Air Force is a good team. They WILL win.
Enough said!!!

Now take your post and switch out BYU for Utah and Cougars for Utes and you will
know how we feel.

Hey, Ute fans shouldn't be putting down ESPN's Game Day event tomorrow
in Provo! It is a pretty big deal and brings additional recognition to our
conference. I'm going to go to it (wearing plain street clothes) just in
case...well...you never know who will win these gosh darn games. So I just want
to be ready, you know, and have all my bases covered. No offense to any school,
of course.

Dear Lavar | 1:42 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Apparently you do not read the articles about BYU. The majority of the
comments are people claiming to be Utah fans and belittling BYU. Poor
sportsmanship and is what it is.
re: Lavar the Utah cat | 1:47 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
It's interesting that you chose only to call out BYU fans, when, in fact,
the very behavior you abhore is much more prevalent coming from Utah fans (see
ProvoFan | 9:15 a.m.); some might call that the "pot calling the kettle
black," in a word: "hypocrisy."

Utah will only have one loss this year. Hows that for a rebuilding team?
Re: Speaking of being tired | 2:22 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Really so you must realize how muc more tiring it is to keep hearing about an
even less warranted achievement 20 years earlier than 2004.
Ute Nation | 3:04 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Go Frogs!
re: only have one loss | 3:08 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
not bad for a rebuilding year, IF, it actually happens.

Fortunately for BYU fans, they have a past worth remembering!

For a minute I thought you were going to remind us of 1984! You think reminding you of 2004 is old, what about the Cougar fans forever reminding the world of 1984. That is really getting old!

Whatever Yewts.... | 5:24 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
No one brings up 1984 but Yewt fans. Once again, proving that they live in the
past. Utah is not a superior team this year. There is no BCS in your future
either. The only thing yewts got this year is a case of GREEN. GREEN WITH
ENVY.
Look how pathetic you yewts are. haha

The Utes don't bring up anything before 2004 because:
a) they don't like living in the past
b) they don't have a past
c) they're embarrassed about the past

certainly not a!
just ask them about their 1998 final with Kentucky!
or all of their Sweet 16 appearances!
or their 1944 NCAA championship!
it's just that in basketball, Utah has a past!

Utah and BYU have finished in the top 10 3 times in their history. Utah did
that in 1994, 2004, and 2008. BYU did that in 1983, 1984, and 1996.
Re: Mike Johnson Fallon NV | 7:5 | 9:52 p.m. Oct. 23, 2009
Now that's some worthwhile information. The memories BYU fans have are
certainly old. I will take the here and now!
The Utes ROCK and we're here to stay!!

The reason gameday is going to provo is because TCU is eligible for a BCS bid,
and they happen to be playing a ranked team. There is also no other good games
one besides that one. So its not like gameday is going because of BYU, just wait
til lee puts on his horned frog mask.

All I know about 1984 is that it was a pretty good book.

Isn't this article about AFA and Utah on a Utah page? Are the Utah fans so
insecure that a simple statement about "Gameday" throws them to the
point of slashing their wrists. Get REAL!
AFA is going to hold this game very close and could win it. If the Utes play like they did last two weeks the Falcons will be picking flesh from their road kill.
Whit has been good at getting the boys to play just well enough to win but this is a huge challenge.

If the Falcon's defense shows up, the Yewts mediocre offense will score
zilch.
