    I want a rivalry with Arizona

    We have a history with these guys. I remember 1998, as I'm sure you all do. I also remember 1976-77, when we bid them goodbye their last season in the WAC winning the WAC outright even though they were heavily favored to win the conference. With the Utes up big in their last WAC game against the Utes, a bomb scare required that the court be vacated in the final minute. Coach Fred Snowden refused to send his players back out to play, we figured because he wanted the record books to say forfeit instead of the score.

    I am old enough to remember when we had a basketball tradiation and they didn't.

    Let's make the rivalry resume tomorrow. Delon, Jordan, Brandon, et al. make them hate us.

    What a monster opportunity to play this team right now at this moment in history. Wouldn't it be great if life in general offered this many chances at redemption.

    Utah by 5!

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    So they finally laid an egg. Shit happens. Looks to me like AZ is of a good mind frame to win a national title.

    A lot of them sure don't seem to like us:

    Because of 1998 and the few interesting football games we've had with them (his knee was in damnit!), I believe that Arizona will be the school that we do become rivals with. It just seems like we have more in common with them.

    That thread lost me one post in when talking about "classless" player behavior. Maybe those guys don't actually watch the games.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    That link refers to the game 3 weeks ago.
