UR a diamond in the coal bin. I learned years ago that going to watch BYU play

Wyoming in Laramie required that I decorate my car with Wyoming fan decor to camouflage it. The first time I ever went there, in the 80s, I found considerable damage to my car-- all because of a very small BYU sticker on the bumper.

No vistiting fans, even utes ever have to fear this kind of stuff when visiting LES.

I think the graphic design is offensive -- did a 3rd grader do that?

Actually Wyoming is rival with Colorado State but would probably side with CSU

I read that as "unurinated on." I'm serious. It made sense too.

Reminds me of when BYU fans pelted the Referees with all kinds of garbage at LES

BYU might be surprised at the level of talent this year on the Cowboy roster.

I think many of us expect a close game. Hopefully, we can enjoy the atmosphere.

You mean the kind of talent that makes them ranked #71 in the Sagarin rankings?

Yes, I am referring to the talent that beat Boise. Just don't want to overlook

POWER rankings. Such as the algorithm used by Sagarin
