I can’t ever get excited for a BYU win. It just isn’t there for me. Maybe I’ve spent too much time in Utah being beaten down by their fans.

In fact, I’m sure that’s it. I’m selfish – I want Utah to keep the spotlight forever. BYU stole it this week and should keep it well until their game against TCU.

Hopefully the Frogs humble them.

In 2007 Utah beat a very talented (or so it seemed at the time) UCLA team that was highly ranked. After beating them we were on top of the world…..only to go to Vegas and get shut out by the rebels……Now before all you BYU fans cry “foul” and say there’s no comparison just consider the moral of the lesson…..Utah went to 2 BCS bowls because we showed up every week and took the one-game at a time approach. Call it clique but it worked.
    BYU still has a high mountain to climb, so I hope all the true Blue fans don’t start getting ahead of themselves and start using the word “National Title” in their conversations. I’m not as confident as Scotmichie that the Utes will beat BYU but I do agree with him that they still have to deal with Utah, TCU and Florida St..

I agree with you JazzyUte, everytime I saw BYU do something good, or make a big play. I wanted to cheer cause it would, and will help the conference. But part of me just couldn’t. It just felt like a disease haha so to speak.
 
GambitUte,

100% true man. They still have a very tough road. I’m not just saying this because I hate BYU, but I truly could see them losing to FSU, TCU and Utah. Because they are going to hold on to “well we beat Oklahoma everyone is going to just let us win now because of it” or something along that mentallity. BYU doesn’t prepare well for games unless they feel like it. Oklahoma didn’t play there best game. TCU isn’t going to let up. Utah as well. They’re both going to keep blitzing, getting in hall’s face, and causing havoc on defense. I expect the Seminoles to do the same.

thanks for the feedback guys!

While i am a die hard Utah fan I was glad to see BYU take down the Sooners. This not only helps the MWC look better but it makes the Utes look better. if it were up to me UTAH and BYU would go undefeted until the holy war with Utah on taking the crown. Just think now when you are talking to the Pac 10 guy or the SEC guy or the Big Twelve guy. We can now say that the MWC if for real. Utah beats down Bama and then BYU beats the Sooners on the road. Go Utah and good job BYU.

That is one of the major reasons I had a hard time routing for BYU last night. I kept thinking about all the Cougar fans I’m going to hear this from. Whether it’s on the radio, or people I know that are Cougar fans. No offense BYU but, when you guys go undefeated and beat a team like that in a BCS bowl game, then we’ll talk!

Is good, but he’d be nada behind OU’s line, at least in game one.

Looks like BYU—even with injuries—and Utah (and Alabama!) handled their O-line rebuilds far better than did Oregon and OU.

MWC top three keep winnning, we’ll move up—CSU beat Colorado too, welcome win that!

I wonder how the Y will be after Unga gets healthy? Their D was the most improved portion of that team, and kudos to their coaching staff: great preparation, great game plan. Hall also gets my apology for under rating him pre-game.

The better they are the better we have to be, and our coaches know it. I like it!
