Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

In all seriousness, I'm enjoying the smack talk. A victory over BYU is even sweeter when it sends that team and their fans crashing back down to earth. This would seriously be no fun at all if BYU was 0-and-2 and not ranked. I can't wait to see the following happen on Saturday:

-Utah beating BYU, thus knocking them out of the rankings.

-BYU fan scrambling for excuses.

-BYU fan making reservations for San Diego and getting their Poinsettia tix a mere 3 weeks into the season.

However, I would like to see a close game. In fact, considering the late start time on a Saturday night, I'd like to see it go to 3 or 4 OT's. That would make it close to midnight and would put BYU dangerously close to facing the predicament of Sunday play. Would they continue to play the game? Would the simply walk off the field at 11:59 in order to avoid sin? The prospects are just so juicy I can barely contain myself.

Wow, some of you guys should work for the White House, since you can spin anything pretty good.
You got worked by the Aggies. Worked physically...by a WAC team when supposedly I heard sleeper PAC-12 title talks. I agree as a fan you take it as just one game and look ahead and stay optimistic, but come on. You got PUNKED by little bro man...

I'm really not sure what the point of this post is. I think you're projecting. You seem to have a preconceived notion of what Utah fan is thinking (I don't know where your loyalties are, but this is a common folly amongst the BYU faithful) and it will not be hampered by any of the actual discussion that has occurred.

Most of the Utah fans here have been pretty realistic, I think. Complimentary of USU, concerned about the weaknesses of the team as presently constituted. I don't recall any PAC12 title talk in the last few days. Do you expect something different? Are we delusional for not immediately throwing our hands in the air and declaring this season a lost cause?

Great post.

No need to make excuses for the USU game. Utah got beat. Plain and simple. I guess some BYU fans will flame the Ute fans that don't throw their hands up in disgust and declare it a lost season already, but that's par for the course. I'm sure Cougar fans would love it if Utah and their fans panicked and decided to pack it in for the season. Hell, it would make life a lot easier for them. However, this won't be the case. Can't wait for Saturday!

Well AC has no problem playing on Sundays now, so my guess is that he'd stay on the field.

Feelings hurt? Persicution complex? Overly sensitive? All of the above?

You'd have to go to the graveyard for that.

Does finishing a game at 12:15am Sunday morning interfere with attending religious services & spending time with family? Nope. They'd finish the game.

Besides, I believe the Sabbath is defined as occurring from sunrise to sunrise if I remember correctly...
