Bronco's family Christmas card
There is nothing more heartwarming than receiving a family holiday card in the mail. It's always nice knowing someone is thinking of you this Christmas season. I was lucky enough to get a copy of the Christmas card Bronco Mendenhall has sent out to all his close friends and family and I thought...
10 things that are more likely to happen than Utah beating BYU
I'm sure you're all waiting in anticipation for today's Utah-BYU game. This is a long and storied basketball rivalry with some miraculous shots, remarkable comebacks and dominant wins. It's also the most even of the Holy War sports. For years and years, the Cougars and Utes were always extremely...
Could this be the first indication the Utah-BYU rivalry is dying?
Boise State and BYU announced today the signing of a twelve-game series that will begin next year. It's a huge deal that will span at least a decade and might indicate a monumental shift in the rivalry game between the Utes and Cougars.

BYU report card
Saturday's win over BYU was the most enjoyable and complete performance since the 2009 Sugar Bowl and signals that maybe the Utes are finally putting together the pieces for a solid and successful first season in the Pac-12. Prior to the game, though, that was unclear. We didn't really know how...
Highlights from shock & awe
After Saturday's game, ESPN Pac-12 blogger Ted Miller wrote that Utah opened up some shock and awe on the Cougars. For a rivalry that loves to name specific games (the Rice Bowl, Burton's Block, Doink Game), shock & awe works perfectly. It pretty much sums up exactly what Utah unleashed on BYU...
The beauty of the unexpected
I don't think anyone expected a 54-10 rout Saturday night. It might be the most unexpected outcome in the rivalry's history since the Utes dropped 57 on BYU in 1988. Generally, these games aren't blowouts. Normally, they come down to the fourth quarter, a final play and a few sequences that...
Utes embarrass Cougars in epic rout
Unfuckingbelievable! That's all I gotta say.
Holy War Moments: Even Utah cheerleaders kick Cougar ass
I posted this back in 2009 leading up to that year's rivalry game. I thought I'd revisit some of those memories because, well, they're just so damn awesome. 1999 was one of those special McBride seasons. Definitely should have been better than it was, but in the end, still pretty memorable for...
The many faces of Roscoe Mendenhall
We all know Roscoe Mendenhall is just a big ol' ball of energy and emotion. Tracking it can be extremely tiring. Fortunately, I've gone ahead and created something to chart all that raw and uninhibited emotion. Now you'll know exactly what Roscoe is thinking just by looking at him during a game. Or...
