It was literally this very morning where, despite being a diehard BYU fan since ‘84, that I figured out that Utah was supposed to be our big rival or something.

Eating my breakfast in the Cannon Center and reading my copy of the student newspaper, in which was printed the sports editor from the Chronicle’s (Ute student paper) game prediction, it dawned upon me that they actually thought they might win. Reading his inane game hypothesis, I deciphered that THIS—not Air Force or SDSU or Hawaii or occasionally Wyoming (the schools who might actually beat us) was our rivalry game.

Then they got up on us 10-0. Their band played over ours. They repeatedly did their stupid tomahawk chop, as completely ripped off from The Atlanta Braves as their U sign is from Miami.
Their fans gyrated and yelled….

And then Detmer hit Drage and momentum completely swung. I’m
sure they were still obnoxious, but it was clear from Drage’s catch and run throughout the rest of the game that obnoxious was all they were gonna bring.
