It’s official, no rivalry game in 2022 and 2023.

Utah and BYU will not play in 2022 and 2023 because they are making room to play Florida.

Unfortunately they weren’t replaced, just rescheduled.

Get down!!

[utefansince79]

Been official since they announced we were playing Florida.  2022 and 2023 games against TDS moved up a few years with at least one more year playing them tacked on to the end.

It’s inevitable we’re going to play them indefinitely so we better get used to it.

When it gets to 15 or 20 in a row I think they will finally decide to give it up. 

[PhiladelphiaUte]

This is why we need to start running up the score on them.  Not taking a knee with nearly 2-min remaining in the game, while lining up 1st-&-Goal from the 3-yd line.  That oughtta p**s them off enough to want to stop playing us.

Either that or force them into a 2-for-1 agreement, which in typical cougar pridefulness, they’d reject, and we get to say that it was THEY who’d refused to play us, and the churchislature can get off our backs about it.

The only way to change the legislature is to vote in Democrats…. so yea, it will never change in Utah.

[EagleMountainUte]

That fourth quarter drive by Utah was humiliating to they so poo poo. It was apparent who was the far superior team.

.. lol .. my nipples will remain soft until Utes actually win against a “blue blood” .. I drank too much of the kool aid last year

[utefansince79]

Would say that beating Michigan (three times) and Bama counts as beating a blue blood.

 

[Utesbyfive]

What have they done for us lately?

[PlainsUte]

Are USC, Washington and Oregon “blue bloods”?    Utes have wins against them, albeit they stumbled against them in the post-sseason and at USC this year. 

But, even the “blue bloods” don’t win every game against other “blue bloods”.  Ask any Michigan fan,

Beginning in 1957 we played the Y 8 straight years in SLC. Starting in 1928 we played the Y 15 times with only 2 in Provo. It’s been done before why not again? Games should be played mostly in SLC. Even better, mostly in SLC and alternating with USU.

Vote out the republicans…. done

[noneyadb]

Traveling to Northern Illinois and Laramie first should tell fans how much leverage Utah holds…

[Hellhound152]

Or it should tell fans that the Athletic Department is being fiscally responsible.  Rather than pay those schools a cool million to come to SLC for a one and done you get a credible non conference road game to work out the bugs.  I never looked down on Pitt, A&M, UNC, or the Pac12 schools that would schedule home and home with the Utes when they were G5 trash.  

Nebraska and Texas (Texas was a 2 for 1 but they only paid them for the extra game) made similar deals with Wyoming but they don’t have much leverage either.

No game with USC?
