I JUST HATE COLORADO! THEY MAKE ME SOOOOO ANGRY

We have Sundance Film Festival. They have South Park. – They win that round I think.

Our mascot is an eagle; theirs is a buffalo – both are endangered – tie

They hated their old conference, we hated our old conference’s front office.

We are both listed among the top five colleges of marijuana users – (2010) – Imagine that!
Lets name it the Rocky Mountain High Rivalry!

Honestly, until a game is really close and causes the other team to either miss the title game, or an undefeated season, or bowl eligibility on their opponents home turf, this really isn’t a rivalry

I think that Colorado will not be as hated as BYU by any Ute until at least another couple of years have passed…

Also, I think that BYU—dare I say it?—had a really bad game against the Utes this year, and that was all.

Maybe BYU doesn’t have the same record in the last 4 years—or the same BCS rep—as Utah, but let’s not forget that this is the team that got 4 MWC championships to the Ute’s 3. Up until BYU got Heaps (bullet dodged Utah!), Roscoe has a 42-14 record vs Whittingham’s 43-13. Since 2005, their win/loss record is a difference of 1. That speaks for itself.

BYU figured the rivalry was over during the Lavell Edwards era. Utah figured it was over during BYU’s Crowton era. The record of Whittingham vs Medenhall shows the Utes lead, but only 4-3.
  
BYU’s numbers don’t match up to Utah’s. But they are pretty close, no matter how much neither wants to admit it. Sometimes the Utes are on an upswing, sometimes it’s BYU. I wouldn’t want to discount BYU and have them turn around and become a threat again; making those who would dismiss them look stupid.

If Colorado can ever come that close to bettering Utah, we can claim them as rivals. Until then, they are a pesky younger brother that the Utes will pummel every year. Jazzy, do you really want to insult the Utes so much by saying that a school with a 2-10 record is our new rival?

Besides, the unthinkable could happen. BYU could get an invite from Big East, who might stay BCS. If they do stay BCS, they might also snag Boise, and Houston and talk TCU back in. Big East ain’t Pac-12, but with in a BCS conference together with those schools, BYU would be right back, barely at the heels of Utah, like always. Who knows, in a few years, when both Utah and BYU get their football back on track, we may even meet each other in a BCS bowl. Unlikely, and full of “ifs”, yes. But so were their last-minute victories in 2006 and 2007. They are good at “unlikely”.

Jazzy, BOTTOM LINE: Want to say our new rival is ASU? Cal? Maybe in better years, a better team like USC? Fine, I could see that. But never Colorado, don’t insult your own team! And don’t count the TDS out yet. They may dwindle further into obscurity, but then again, they may rise quite quickly, aided by their new ESPN exposure. Time will tell.

That, as someone else said, the Utes are Native Americans, who were at one point the arch-enemy of the buffalo… although not nearly so much as one of the many ‘Cowboys’ out there would be. So we’ve got THAT history to build on.

A friend of a friend told me that Colorado told him that yo Ute momma’s fat and zooby :-x

Will Lucky be brought back this weekend?
