Fun story about LaVell

reddead

11:01am

My earliest memory of the rivalry is this terrible yet nostalgic Ute Busters video

byuTX mutual friends

10:59am

Have we just found the origin of hype videos?!?! 😂

Crowd Factor

11:00am

We're probably close to the same age. I had the t-shirt that corresponds to this video.

LaVell at 1:21

Indy Coug

11:03am

And then we busted them 24-14 and became #1 for the first time the next Monday.

Indy Coug

11:05am

The Utah marketing dept still couldn’t produce anything that good.

Ron Mexico

11:06am

Cosmo has a few more skills now than what the end of the vid shows. 🙂

It's A Bowling Ball

11:06am

The late night start blows. The national audience deserves better for this game.

Squirt

10:58am

No one is interested in an 8-0 vs 4-4 matchup where the 4-4 team has completely imploded

Indy Coug

11:00am

If both had been undefeated it would have started during the day. Utah's losses

Archaea

11:03am

The sad truth is that BigXII broadcast partners selected CU over our game for

I talked to a USU grad in my ward who has a masters in taxation.

Genghis Spreads

10:58am

USU Business School has a former stats professor in a leadership role.

TheWanderer

11:04am

The BYUI accounting dept. has been pushing this hard the last couple years with

UNLVcougar

11:07am

Besides the MTE in San Diego with Ole Miss/NC State/Purdue and the road game in Providence

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

10:56am

I would say Wyoming and Fresno St. are up there too

ProvoProwler

10:59am

It will be really interesting to see how this team comes together. So much

CascadeBYUFan

11:00am

Yes, they outperformed in their opener at Oregon. It's a good test to see if BYU can blow them out.

roseyscenario

11:02am

Fantastic article on BYU's rise this season.

Abe Froman

10:56am

Why don't they build women's restrooms 50-100% larger than men's restrooms

SV72 Sale

10:55am

I believe it would be a positive if we could have a cultural agreement that when

spoxjox

10:58am

Isn't there some kind of sitcom where the restrooms are shared? I don't condone

SV72 Sale

11:05am

1. I have no idea. 2. I guarantee nobody is identifying as a female and taking

11:00am

not saying that that is the primary reason they do it. But if you identify as

Please let this fine tune get worn out many times Saturday in midtown atlanta

Forbidden Fruit

10:55am

What is the difference in defensive strategy depending on Utah's QB?

porl thompson

10:54am

Pressure and different looks to confuse him

nephicoug

10:55am

Absolutely nothing. Whitt should know this but maybe he really was still deciding. Doubt it though. Just a game.

Soupie

10:55am

Yeah not much difference between the QBs.

Brandoblueblood

10:56am

Any good new switch games come out in the last year or two, for a 10yo boy?

Buffalo

10:52am

Zelda and Pikmin 4 were pretty fun.

momowagon

10:54am

Tons of games, but my boys absolutely love the Zelda games.

Cougar TD

10:55am

Harry Potter fits that window. My youngest also likes Civilization if you don't have that one already.

Bert609

10:56am

Switch 2 is rumored to be announced soon so there will probably be some new games coming with it

letthewookieewin

10:58am

My son got Mario and Luigi Brothership yesterday. He loves it so far.

jpesk2

11:03am

We need Miami, the ACC (except SMU) and Boise State to lose

DataMouth

10:51am

If SMU beats Miami and SEC champ has 2 losses, BYU could move into the 2 spot

nephicoug

10:52am

We need to just win. However, there would be silver lining if BYU doesn't make

Schrodizzy

10:53am

Yeah, a 12-1 BYU that just lost a close CCG to Colorado may get a 6-8 seed.

BamaCoug

10:56am

Would help, but the 3rd seed will still play the 6th seed, so likely SEC #2 team

BamaCoug

10:55am

Prediction: If we don't throw any Pick 6's, we will win easily.

momowagon

10:51am

Well, at least 1 pick 6 is all but Gaurunteed.

Dark Forest Green

10:54am

I see us pick sixing Wilson, for sure.

For all intents and purposes, this should be easy dubs….

That’s how I feel about it as well. Well said.

stanthemax

10:46am

For those who haven't paid attention to the "peel switch" defensive philosophy Will Voigt has implemented.

cougfanblue Assistant to the manager

10:45am

I really like it with our personnel, btw. Several guys who can guard 1-5, at least for a few seconds.

cougfanblue

10:48am

One thing I was surprised to see was BYU jumping at shooters/shot fakes. That

Thrill

10:50am

BYU will win this game because of the respect and love that they have for

coot20

10:44am

Dear BYU, Do not give up an early TD. Do not give them hope or any confidence

Cougar TD

10:44am

and do not freak out if any of that does happen because you're still in the game

Avery

10:45am

CB will do this even if we only go up 3-0 on the first drive. And want to cancel

Ron Mexico

11:00am

We are who we are

Cougar TD

11:06am

I’ve been posting too much in politics and other categories for rivalry week. Go Cougs!

They made it 2.7 miles before calling search and rescue 😲

Jay Kay

75 lbs of gear each? Wow. That is probably double what they should be carrying.

cougaman

I think it’s Flagyl that gave me permanent nerve damage. My hands now get tingly and fall asleep very easily.

A first half onsides kick.

BlueNtheFace

10:34am

I'd rather not see anyone but Retzlaff throw the ball. Just line up and run it

CougarTwins

10:35am

I hope his trick play is just a normal offense straight up and converting third downs

byuTX

10:36am

The trick play will be not calling a trick play

darkcoug

10:39am

fake the trick play, then hit chase deep on the other side of the field.

CougarTwins

10:40am

Not sure, but I hope it involves a surprise punting formation.

CornfedCougar

10:40am

And the forward pass.

CornfedCougar

I want a nice "oven mitt on passing hand" from an O-lineman right on the goaline

UNLVcougar

I hope you're wrong on both counts.

Bartimaeus

10:31am

I want ISU to be 11-1. They obviously don’t care about BYU beating KSU at this

cougaman

10:34am

Nope. CCG or bust. Playoff committee showed its hand.

YOHONOMOTO

10:44am

No, we need BYU to make the CCG first. Competitors giving us breathing room

Mitty

10:49am

Here are some stray thoughts about the in-state game this weekend:

Ham

10:23am

I've liked getting the ball first lately to make an offensive statement. In this

LeftOfNormal

10:29am

I agree. I want to see a vanilla offense at first… but we can’t play scared

Pretorian

10:32am

It’ll be interesting to see how much the refs let Ute DB’s maul BYU receivers.

Malcolm Reynolds

10:34am

Utah at night

Jack Teacher

10:36am

We get a quick start on O, I don't see them keeping up with us.

bald man

10:44am

without years of 1) being dominated, or 2) doing the domination, rivalry hype

bald man

10:47am

I'm thinking we need to score 3 TDs or (at least 20 pts.) to beat the Utes

BigHouse Coug

10:22am

Utah's best chance is to make the game like SMU (or similar to 2007 BYU-Utah)

Little Mac

11:03am

What are the chances BYU does more BYU cruised in the future after 2025?

BYUpsychom

BYU has had two weeks

February was supposed to be when it happens

Indy Coug

10:20am

Wasn't the rumor that he was pushing it up?

WaffleCheese

10:21am

"rumor" is the key word. Nothing from him to confirm that.

Archaea

10:22am

He’s worried that if Demin goes #1 overall that he’ll be looked at as a system #1 pick.

TCuz

That would be a long time to wait and find out.
