Default Holy War (Utah vs. BYU)

The Holy War is one of America's oldest and most heated college football rivalries. In fact, the schools even differ on when the first game was played. Utah claims that the first game was played in 1896 against Brigham Young Academy. BYU's athetic website (BYU Cougars) shows their schedule dating back to 1922, but no earlier. The Utes lead the all time series 53-33-4.

Yeah we got some good games on this week in the MWC. It's rivalry week in our conference. Got the Border war CSU and Wyoming looking to play the spoiler.

There's also UNLV vs SDSU. UNLV can actually become bowl eligible with a win vs SDSU.

GO UTES!!!!!!!!!


I am a Utah Man, sir, and I live across the green,
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star,
Our yell, you'll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far!
Who am I, sir,
A Utah Man am I!
A Utah Man, sir,
Will be 'til I die.
Ki-yi!
We're up to snuff, we never bluff, we're game for any fuss.
No other gang of college men dare meet us in a muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky,
We'll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man am I!
Ki-yi!

The better team won today. I was amazed at how we were hanging around even after we kept giving the ball to Utah. Anyway, the Cougs lost their luster sometime around week 4 and never recovered from that TCU beatdown. Congrats to to Utah. We'll get you next year, though.

Yes we will!

I'm afraid next year Utes football isn't going to have quite the luster as this year with all the seniors gone.
