Little Sister @ BYU on Friday.
Brad Rock wrote a column today on what a win this weekend would do to this rivalry. If you can even call it that.... I think after you've beaten a team down something like 26 out of the last 30 times, it's not really considered a rivalry. Jan Jorgansen hit the nail on the head today when he said that BYU doesn't consider this Utah St. game a very big emotional rivalry game. Whereas the Aggies do. To BYU, this game is like what a Jazz game means to the Lakers. To Aggies, it's like what a game against the lakers means to the Jazz.
BYU has bigger fish to fry. And that fish, despite having a horrible QB with a jacked up shoulder, came into their place and kicked their ***...
I think the Aggies will always feel like they got the shaft when BYU didn't want them to join the WAC....
Had Utah St. been able to piggyback on BYU and Utah and join their conferences, perhaps things would be different today? ... we'll never know!

Turbin is going to be wishing he would have worked on his jukes a little more rather than pounding weights after he gets trucked by BYU's defense all night long.

I just heard BYU is favored by 13.5. Thats pretty big for a team that only averages 16 points per.

It squeezed actually from that opening line. I locked in at - 7.5 earlier today. Hasn't moved over the past few days. I just guarenteed that BYU wins by only a touch now with that bet.
Please stop talking like this. You make me actually want to root against the Cougars and that's not really my style.

Just did a three team tease with Utah State as one of the parts at +17.5
Good? There seems to be a lot of love for USU and that's a lot of points against Heaps.

Were did the ten's place come from? The line is only 7.5, which makes all the difference in the world. I think you'll miss on that one. What are your two other lines?

It's a three team tease so you get 10 points. You think I'll miss as in you think I'll lose?

Ah, I've never done a tease. I didn't realize they give you 10. So they give 10 points extra on every game or just a cumulative 10 points spread over the 3? I think it's definitely a better bet at 17.5. If BYU scores even that much, they'll probably rip down the goal posts.

That Turbin is way scarier than the terrorist's turbans.
This picture was taken right after the loss to Colorado State and as you can see, he wasn't happy. It will be interesting to see how he does against the BYU defense. I think the keys to this game (from an Aggie perspective) are if the Aggie offense can spread the D with some passes and if the Aggie D can get pressure on Heaps. If those things don't happen then it could be a long night to be an Aggie.

Went to this game last weekend... (yup, Aggies beat themselves, but that's another story) I will agree with your analysis... If the Aggie D can get to Heaps like they were getting to CSU's QB in the first half last week, it's going to be a long night for Jake. If not... it's going to be ugly.
One thing I took away from the game last weekend. The Aggies don't appear to use the passing game very much. Turbin is an animal, but I really think the Aggies will need to go to the pass more tonight if they want to win.
