Rise & Shout!!
Boise St. Should get an invite as an at larget to the BCS aswell
Isn't Utah the one hanging by a thread in the polls? I expect they'll fall, and fall pretty hard after next Saturday's beat down.
UTAH 56
bywhooo 12
WE KNOW WE ONLY CARE ABOUT BEATING BYU EVERY YEAR...THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOAL....ANYTHING LESS IS A LOSING SEASON!
WE MAY NOT HAVE A FOOTBALL TEAM...BUT HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SWOOP/ROOSTER...? GO UTAH HAWKS!!
they know if they ever got the guts to schedule decent teams OOC and on the road they'd lose more often than not
for now:
AP/Coaches/BCS
TCU #4/#4/#4
BYU #18/#15/#19
Utah #22/#19/#21
With that in mind. Utah 34 byu 31 is my prediction but it will be a tough game.
It is always a great game and I hope the entertainment and sportsmanship is at an all time high.
GO UTES!!!!!!!
I'm happy that BYU and UTAH are still ranked in the top 25. Seems they have had good years, not spectacular, yet have earned national respect and credibility. That's great !
Some "petty individuals" ( 6th grade mindset types ) only feel good when bashing someone else.....sounds childish to me.
I'd bet the biggest complainers, either side Y / U, have never played....!
I am a bit surprised the BYU moved as far up as they did and Utah hardly moved.
Great game coming up on Saturday. A missionary in our ward is going home tomorrow and he gets to go to this game. Yes, I am jealous. I am really looking forward to watching it with my Ute friends. I hope it is close, hard fought, dramatic game, offensive and defensive battles going on throughout with awesome coaching strategy and no one gets hurt.
Go Cougars.
And it does not matter who wins this game. Both teams will win their bowl game.
And TCU will play BSU in the Fiesta Bowl where neither team can do any damage to the BCS by destroying one of their teams.{FIESTA is open to two at large invites isn't it}? Help me!!
I know you Ute fans took it to the Tide last year in a game that Alabama didn't even want to play. Their bowl game was the week before when they lost to Florida.
You Utah and BYU fans who rip on Alabama need to check yourselves. We have 12 national championships and 23 (soon to be 24) SEC championships. Grab some titles before you start talking smack. And before you start in with the 1984 talk...save it! That was a paper championship at best. You were handed the title on basically a coin flip...
Roll Tide Baby!
If the SEC is so confident, let them play BSU, BYU, UTAH and TCU and let's watch to see who is the better team. Methinks the SEC knows that it would be embarassed.......
The undefeated SEC champ will play the undefeated Longhorns for the NC. It will only be disputed by homers in Boise and those in the MWC that want to be a part of the BCS.
The y continues to be a sham, the u has shown it is far from being a powerhouse and TCU owned by the Big 12.
The frogs are playing with left-over recruits from OU and UT.
Hook'em Horns!
Air Force had the #2 pass defense in the country and BYU shredded the Falcons defense
And please! "Alabama didn't want to play that game." Most rediculous excuse i have ever heard! It's the sugar bowl for petes sake! The Tide will get schooled by florida like they do every year and i will enjoy every minute of it. GO GATORS! Looking forward to watching Nick Saban flip his biscuit for another few hours!
AND ABOVE ALL, GO 'YEWTS'!!!!!!!!!!
(AND WYOMING)
Go UTES
But TCU's 4th rank and claims to the BCS championship game are much more justifiable that Ute's claims from last year prior to the Sugar Bowl. TCUs games with Clemson and Air Force were competitive, but Clemson was the only team to lead TCU in the 4th quarter. No doubt TCU has character, certainly gained following their loss to the Utes last year and their successes this year. But if you had to be a little worried about TCU; that is how they will react if they get behind a good team in their BSC bowl game. — we saw how most teams, notably BYU and Utah reacted to TCU this year —utter defeat.
GO UTES beat BYU — congrats to TCU.
Like a poster said above... Alabama has 12 national titles and 23 SEC Championships. Come in and run smack when you can compete year in and year out with that.
And, as I live in the south myself now, the SEC is solid but the Arkansas-Florida game this year alone shows the vulnerablity of any #1 from any conference. It's not a popularity contest boys and girls.
If the MLS Cup were decided on "votes" and "strength of schedule" Real Salt Lake soccer would be, in what, ... 8th place? ... Ooh-ooh! I like that team! I think they're the best! I'll vote for them! Yeah! They're the champs! Yes they are! Yeah! My team wins ... the vote! ... Ignorance!!!
Cougars will be out of the poll.
Go Utes!!!"
What about TODAY, posers???
as usual, SEC fan fantasy doesn't jive with reality
...with 7:02 remaining, Alabama snapped a 24-24 tie; final score 38-31 Alabama
Alabama chickened out of their scheduled return visit to Provo
I wonder why?
btw, you gots good engerlishes
I thought it was very telling when they said the ute's had never lost to a top 25 team and how they were 7-0 in those games. That just shows how few of games they have played against top teams. Most teams play 3-6 ranked teams a year. I bet most of those are BYU or TCU
