I don't personally know any of these people, so maybe that's why I feel that way, but I'd say they need to get a life. I hate the rivalry enough that it causes me to have no sympathy whatsoever for those people. Tell them to go watch Michigan / Ohio State and get over it! :) haha.<br /><br />I definitely agree with you on the last point, though! We've still got a game scheduled this year-- perfect opportunity to avenge last year! Let's blow them out of the water, get it over with, then sever all ties.

I don't think that you or I would feel so strongly if we weren't fully invested. However, because we feel so strongly one way or another show that we obviously care a great deal about this game.<br /><br />The only point that I would like to make is that this game is more that just a game it is a huge event across the state. I generally will watch it from my home or a neighbors home with a mixture of both BYU and Utah grads and we are all able to enjoy ourselves together before and after the game. During the game our knuckles are white as we clench our teeth and hold our fists tightly to whatever is nearby. There are many poeple that don't watch any other game all year. Or any other sporting event for that matter. What about them? What are they going to look forward to? What about extra revenue this game brings in to small business owners because it is such a large event?<br /><br />I absolutely agree that this game has gotten far too intense. Especially over the last several years. But won't that die down now that they are in different conferences and the game will generally be played at the beggining of the year? Isn't there room in your heart to seek revenge for last years loss? <br /><br />Alas, if it does come to an end it must needs be after a mighty Cougar blow out of the Utes.naomijanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901431119031768147noreply@blogger.com
