Look, we all know that the rivalry game is the most fun, entertaining, gratifying game of the year. The passion it engenders in both fan bases -- for better or worse -- is second to none. Utah fans who say they don't care about the game anymore are just talking trash in a new way while BYU fans who say they don't care are just trying to reciprocate that same 'we don't need you, we're too good for you' attitude. Can we both just stop pretending? It's the best game of the year and to make our seasons as fun as possible it has to be played.

As a sidenote: for anyone who thinks Utah has nothing left to prove because they've won four in a row, I can't type a big enough LOL. I just wish the NBA would have said that back in 1998 when the Jazz won the two regular season games over the Bulls. We could've been champs! Alas.
