HEY, IT’S RIVALRY WE…oh, who freaking cares

[SkinyUte]

I’ll be excited, as I am every week, to watch the Utes play.  But the big “rivalry game”?  Meh.

Unless BYU somehow comes out looking an unbeatable juggernaut tomorrow, I think we’ll likely come out of that game with a closer-than-it-should-have-been 7-10 point win. Naturally, every Zoob will say they are the better team, and the howls of “wait until next year” or “if we played in November” will ring anew.

And as always, I’ll be happy to get that game behind us so we don’t have to deal with those chucklef**ks for another year.

Side note:  I know I should want BYU to win tomorrow so that it’ll look better for us when we beat them. However, the bigger part of me wants BYU to get spanked by a crap Arizona team and go 0-5 against the P12 this year.

It’s the “in-state” game.

On the flip-side, if AZ wins tomorrow, it will look better for the Utes to beat them and it’s better for the conference. Tomorrow, I’m cheering for AZ. Beardown!

Good point, although I fully expect AZ to have imploded by the time we get to them in November.

At this point, the BYU-Provo Campus game is just another step in the process of building towards conference play. They’re just a G5 team that’s better than Weber but worse than what we see in the PAC12.

Let’s just get #10 and then they’re in our rearview mirrors until 2024.
