I would call it loyal. Have Canadians ever heard of that?

First World War.
My first year of college, I had a roommate that dated this hippie chick. One day he was sitting on the couch with her and demanded I fetch him a beverage (in jest), so I replied that I wasn't his slave. She jumped up off the couch and proceeded to go off on me about how making light of slavery was an affront to blacks, which her father was. I hadn't mentioned anything of that sort, but being a nice guy, I apologized and explained that my statement held no intentional malice. She calmed down and returned the apology, then admitted that her dad wasn't actually black.
If she had been a guy, I would have started swinging right there and then.
I hate it when people lie to make a point. Low.

Sorry, Toughguy. Despite your long-winded diatribe the point is still valid. You're just soreassed cuz it made you look bad and you can't even own it so instead you try to slam me. Whatever *****.
And you have my permission to start swing whenever you want.
Lol. I'm the "toughguy" for calling you out for lying? That's funny.
I have a couple of questions. Feel free to spin them in your usual manner. I find your shtick amusing.
What makes you feel I have a reason to be "soreassed"? Your integrity is of little consequence to me. Lying is just a pet peeve of mine.
Where did you make me look bad? I don't recall that happening, so you may want to point it out to me. Was it your follow up to my comment (which, by the way, was merely a reference to Ute "classlessness" - it actually had nothing to do with your mother) in which you lied about your mom being dead? I'm pretty sure that didn't reflect badly on me.
I like you, CONAN, so I'm not going to let you risk spraining a finger or something beating me up. Besides, you would have to do something pretty awful to get me to fight (this little tantrum doesn't qualify by a long shot), so don't waste time waiting at the flagpole.

Sounds like White is going to miss this game. Tune into 97.5 right now...
Wow, if BYU can't beat Utah this weekend, when will they ever?

Good question. I guess if we lose, we'll just take the same tact that BYU has taken 7 out of the last 10 years.
"We didn't lose to BYU, we beat ourselves."

Hahaha, riiiiight.
Hilarious how the most trash talking this rivalry is seeing right now is on this board. Across the airwaves, on most message boards, etc Utah fans are suddenly no where to be found.
It's almost as if they're expecting an epic *** kicking already. Which... I don't blame them.
But what most Utah fans seem to forget, Doman is hardly Sean Payton. And Nelson is hardly Drew Brees.
I actually wouldn't be surprised to see this game come down to the wire... Or to see Utah win.
BYU hasn't shown the ability to run the ball consistently and those ducks Nelson throws will be picked off.
The problem is... Utah's offense is barf no matter who plays QB. Which is a damn shame. BYU and Utah have some great receivers. It's too bad that the best QB in the state plays up in Logan. Imagine how good the "big boys" had a QB like Keaton (or like many upper tier Div I schools) who had the ability to throw the rock around consistently.

My thoughts on this years rivalry game...
I'm still way mad about the UT st game, but there is one positive to take away from it.
byu is notorious for buying into there own hype every year, (btw if you refute this, sorry your a huge homer.) Think "quest for perfection." Every year some byu dork (often a coach) tells the media that this is the best byu team evar and if they play their game aint nobody in the world gon' stop em!!!
This year was supposed to be different. There would be no way the cougs could come in over confident against The Utes after 54-10 right?? Then Utah loses to UT State and the zoobs just cant help themselves...
"We deserve this. Fetch, we have too much darn tradition honor and power."
It's amazing. byu should head into the rivalry game with a ginormous chip on their shoulder. They are the little guy who cant get into a conference, facing a team from a power conference. They are a team full of scrappy white guys facing elite athletes. They've lost 7 of the last 10 rivalry games. They got bitch slapped 54-10 in their own stadium just last year. Yet, they will walk into RES thinking they "deserve" to win and that they are the superior team and program coming to take what is rightfully theirs.
Its amazing really, but its just who byu is. They cant freaking help themselves.
So while it sucks way bad that we poo'd our pants against Ut St, its amazing beyond belief that on the heels of Pac 12 > Indy, just a few months after Utah basically ended the rivalry, and a year after handing byu the most embarrassing loss in school history, Utah will somehow come into the rivalry game as the pissed off team with something to prove. Hell yes.

It's not that Utah fans are afraid of a loss. I still expect Utah to win the game. Yes, it's going to be more difficult now that half the team isn't playing, but I still think Utah will win.
The reason you don't see many Utah fans is because this just isn't that big of a game anymore. The Pac 12 schedule has the Utes playing many good teams this season. This BYU game used to be the biggest game of the season for Utah fans. Now this BYU game is so far down the line of important games, it's only slightly above meaningless. It has zero impact on Utah's Rose Bowl hopes, Utah has already lost a game so the undefeated season is already gone, and half the team isn't playing so we can't even really take too much from the outcome.
With a brutal Pac 12 schedule looming, with every one of those having an impact on the Rose Bowl hopes, it's easy to see why a lot of people aren't as excited for the BYU game as in years past.
Does the rivalry game and bragging rights affect in-state recruiting at all? I suspect it does, at least a bit.

I love it when folks from "the other side" are experts of the "other side."
Like when super conservative folks explain what "liberals" believe or want. Yet, they haven't watched any "liberal" news, listened to "liberal commentators" or visited any of the sites of those supposed "liberal politicians" and their policies. What they have done is listen to what a "liberal" wants from a conservative commentator.
Vice Versa, too, love it when liberals explain what conservatives want. In reality, many folks are the same.
Or when Little Brother fans know exactly what BYU fans think or want. Hilarious.
I think in reality, Utah fans are expecting a loss. While BYU fans know they have a ton of pressure. Clearly Utah is wounded. But can Nelson and that not so hot O-line and shaky playcalling make them pay? How long before Hays hits a WR who makes a play? How many more ducks can Nelson chuck up without disastrous consequences? How many D-linemen can he run into before he goes down? And then what happens?
What happens if Star puts down Nelson? Is Lark really going to lead BYU to victory?

Yeah....
Soooo many "gooooodddd" teams... Cal, Colorado, Wash schools, AZ schools, lol...
Take away USC and Oregon, and the Pac-12 might be as good as the Mtn West or WAC.
Admit it, Little Brother, you're scared.
Still waiting on the link for this because I don't remember him saying anything about the suspension.

Ok St sucks. They're always choking all over the place. Upsets happen all the time. Utah had many chances against USC... That same Utah team then got their butts handed to them to Colorado. Lets wait to see if AZ is really that good. Until then, I'll rely on what I've seen and what their history has been. CRAPPY!
Oh, and BTW, nice side stepping Co, Cal, etc little brother. Little Brother always has a cute excuse. Can't wait to put you guys away this weekend.
Blechen? It was an interview done with Kyle Gunther on 1320. Try listening to local sports radio.

What position do you play?
I can see how this is going to go with you. You rant on with your "Little Brother" this and "Big Brother" that and then when Utah wins, suddenly that talk disappears and you go on about how good Utah is. Happens almost every year. Typical for a fan of Utah's Bitch.
