Game Thread: Utah @ BYU, Sat. 9/21 8:15pm MT, ESPN2

Do you really feel that the better team always wins?*

Do you really feel that every team is at the same ability level in week 8 that it is in week 3?**


*Obviously they don't, or computer rankings would not be needed (nor polls, for that matter)

** Obviously most aren't. Look at BYU's offensive production in the first three games compared to the last 3 games for example.

What's awesome about winning the rivalry game every year is never having to come up with theories or arguments on why we are better. lol

When did I say I think BYU is better? I didn't say that. I'm not even sure that I think that... but I DO think that BYU is better than when they played Utah. Substantially better.

What I did say is that all of those polls/rating systems think that BYU is better. That's a statement of fact, not opinion, that I found interesting.

Not sure where you are going with this implication that I'm lying. Which statement are you objecting to.... Are you saying that I DID claim BYU was better? If so, please indicate which post you're referring to. Or are you saying that those five polls/ranking systems do NOT currently have BYU as higher rated? If so, please indicate which one or ones I quoted incorrectly.

This same thing happens every year with BYU. They play good teams and lose and then they play bad teams and win. When they win they start thumping their chest and saying they are better than the U and they wish they could have that game over. I guarantee you that going into the next rivalry game the BYU fans will be bragging as if they are the team that hasn't lost to their rival in almost 7 years. When they lose (hopefully) they'll start in with posts that look just like this one of yours again. It's getting sooooooooooo predictable.

BTW, I'll bet you couldn't have found a single BYU fan who would ask, "Do you really feel that the better team always wins?" back when they were winning.

Not sure what it means that the Ute fans (Joe B. excluded) have stopped replying with words. Trying to live up to the Ute fan stereotype by finding it too hard to write sentences?

You do realize that my recent involvement in this thread was in direct response to this post of yours?

If you feel a need to "keep reminding BYU fans that they lost to their rival for the fourth time in a row and that they don't have another scheduled game to redeem themselves for two more years", then I think it's perfectly fair to keep reminding YOU that the Utes are actually BELOW the Cougars in all of the current rankings.
