Jazzman12 cannot post anymore, lock him up Colton.

He's at 1984... and I think it is telling us that BYU will win the game.

Dang it Colton, you failed me. You let him post. What does this mean?

I think we're still fine, BYU beat the Utes in 1985-1987 and 1989-1992. As long as he doesn't stop on 1988 I think we're good.

It just might not be a blowout win now. :(
 
Haven't read this thread because, well.. I don't give a ****. Having said that, anyone know the early line on the game? What's Vegas say?

You're not going to read this... so... the line is -25-1/2. Book it.

Vegas doesn't post much, but I'm also interested in his take.

I think it has byu by 7
 
Even Vegas hasn't moved off that 7 line in 3 days. I seriously doubt it's a function of money being Tetter-tottered equally on both sides. They just aren't willing to budge the line because they understand the power of the bad 7 mojo.

It must be pretty easy to run a sportsbook, no? They have very little variation. You just set your lines by copying off the sportsbook next to you. I've got years of experience in that craft.

Delusion is a funny thing. One of these teams will end up top 15...top 10. The other, probably with a losing record. I won't even hint at which is which, because I think you already know.

Lol. Year in and year out you are a delusional homer for BYU and constantly over rate them. Both teams are flawed. BYU's QB is an inaccurate passer who has to to tuck it and run after his first read because your online is garbage. Mark it down: your team won't SNIFF the top 15 this year. Neither will mine, but at least I'm a realist.

Whatever football knowledge you may possess flys out the window when you talk about BYU. It must suck to be you. Normally when BYU fails you, you pimp USC because they're your "other" team but they suck this year too. But hey, at least you're delusional enough not to see it.
 
You're so Ute by Carly Wilson

You walked into the stadium like you were walking into a bar
Your elite talk made you think you were fly
Your Pac12 sticker on your car
You talk so much of your team going far
And all the teams U played would just give up
They'd give up, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about the Pac12
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about the Pac12
Don't U? Don't U?

Your biggest game is always “the team down south”
Well now you ride other coattails
And hold only dreams of wealth
But you gave away the things you need and one of them was BYU
The rest of what you gave away was your dignity
Dignity, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about the Pac12
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about the Pac12
Don't U? Don't U? Don't U?

The rest of what you gave away was your dignity

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about the Pac12
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about the Pac12
Don't U? Don't U?

Well I hear you hosted OSU and naturally you won?
Then you blinged up your bus for the hour ride down south
To see how it’s really done
Well you're where you should be all the time
Pac12 punching bag, and proud
You better sneak in beer for this away game
Cuz it’s going to get real loud...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about the Pac12
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about the Pac12
Don't U? Don't U? Don't U?

Bronco will find a way to screw up this game. He gets his players overhyped and they will come out against Utah making a few mistakes because of it (personal fouls, etc). In all reality, these teams are evenly matched but Whittingham prepping his team like its just another game will be the difference. Van Noy said it himself: This is BYU's "Superbowl". BYU puts a ton of pressure on themselves each year for this game and it has cost them before.

Truth^

That's not even trash talk, that's a fact any non-homer byu fan would acknowledge and be worried about for this week.

I don't think having 2 weeks to prepare for the game helps them either.
 
Things BYU has going for them: Riding high after a big win, better receivers, better RB, better LB's, rest.

Things Utah has going for them: Better QB, Home Field Advantage.

Utah 24-21

I'm pretty sure the game is in Provo...
 
Little known fact: this Saturday is my birthday.







Which team should I use my birthday wish on. Hmmmmmm.
 
With Utah's youth on offense and secondary, I'm glad they played a 3rd game before facing BYU. Byes can give a team an advantage in certain scenarios but Utah will not be able to use that as an excuse. I'm guessing any honest BYU fan would have rather seen Taysom and that Oline get 1 more game under their belts last week.

A bye after the 2nd week of the season for a young QB and patchwork OL just doesn't seem to be that big of an advantage IMO.

This is a good point.

I wish byu would have had a weber state type game rather than a bye

Why would you need more experience before playing BYU? Don't the Utes see Van Noy type players every week now that they're in the Pac12?
