The Holy War!!!

Its that time of year again, where the citizens of Utah are separated, wives and husbands torn apart by their team associations, families again families, friends vs friends. Yes, its time
again for the HOLY WAR!! Its time for the BYU/Utah game. Oh!! you can just smell the tension in the air, the anger, the fear and the wanting of a win. This is what college football is all about.
This years game is going to be a great one. The two teams have a combined record of 21-1 and it could make or break a BCS game for one of them. Utah is ranked #7 in the nation and BYU is just behind ranked #14 in the nation. Anything can happen for the winner of this game.
The good thing about this season is that the Mountain West has gotten a lot of attention for their ability to win some bigger name conferences and having three conference teams in the top 20 helps too. Its been a great season.
It is funny how the fans of both sides of this game have started to tease, taunt, and get down right mean to the other side. Neither sides wants to let up. I have been talking and taking a lot of trash at work before the start of Rivalry week but I have decided to take a back seat and not say too much over the game,(although I want to say alot). I figured its up to the players and I am going to let the players leave there statment on the field with which ever team wins. However I do have to say Alicen has had great fun getting on comment forums and getting UofU fans all uptight and mad. She calls this fun! she is funny so times. Its just funny, how so many fans on both sides make comments that make them look dumb. Know the facts and what you want to write before you say anything.
I am just hopeful for a good and close game. No blow out, something that comes down to the very end. The team that has the ball last wins the game. Just like a couple years back (the prayer catch by Harline). You Utes fans know the catch! By all means am I not going to let my association go unknown in this blog. I am a Cougar fan! Blue through and through, willing to do my best to root for the cougars in blue. Go Cougs!
