sad that such a tired old trope as "big brother" and "little brother" is still

being dragged out every time utah or utah state is discussed. the truth is that that conversation died a long time ago and only fans who have a loose grasp on the realities of the rivalry even use it as any kind of schtick anymore.

No, I'd say CB has done the heavy lifting obsessing about its rival.

Ha, ha, we've become little brother by not being able to beat them!

"Little brother" happened when Utah passed us by

Don't worry, we won't be able to get a win this decade for three years.

You're not sure if adding 3-2 to 0-4 is better than 0-4??

It's a Jelly

1/15/14 10:33am

0-4 does not a season make.

Bama has a poster in their locker room that says you are wrong

Heinz57

1/15/14 10:52am

Throwing out the baby with the bath water is not a solution either.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 10:57am

Did I mention throwing out Bronco?

Heinz57

1/15/14 11:03am

And what exactly happens Over and Over again?

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 11:51am

Losing 0-4 really doesn't make any sense at all.

Please share.

Start with the Oline. Why was Weber retained for so long when clearly

That is a good question and one I have asked many

I'm not the one using how I feel as an argument. You are.

Your Quote.

The Utah game IS important. Anyone that thinks it isn't, is a dunce.

Jkampana

1/15/14 12:04pm

Here we have the first mention of the word "feel"

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 4:02pm

Ha! read the post i responded to. Did you not state how you feel?

Jkampana

1/15/14 4:15pm

No I didnt. Maybe you should re-read it. LOL

PolarisPrime

Confirmed troll

Jkampana

Clearly you dont know what a troll is

PolarisPrime

1/16/14 1:05am

You really don't care about Utah more than any other game? Don't believe it

Non-mo Coug

Im not from Utah

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 11:54am

Ok so you are basing your feelings on the rivalry from games played in the 80s

Jkampana

1/15/14 12:07pm

And apparently your perception only begins in 2008

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:06pm

That is certainly a lot more current than yours and much more relevant

Jkampana

1/15/14 3:23pm

How could your opinion be more current than mine? That is a logical impossibilit

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:27pm

Cool story. Unfortunately, your experience doesn't really mesh

riboflavin

1/15/14 12:11pm

I pretty much disagree with that.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:08pm

So essentially BYU football means less to you than it does to most of us

Non-mo Coug

1/15/14 1:09pm

Sorry - comprehension failure.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:09pm

Worst logic ever.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 12:07pm

Nobody claims it's BYU's bowl game so maybe you should be the one to stop acting

Jkampana

Actions speak louder than words.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 11:56am

The actions you're speaking of are words...

DapperDan

Here we go with the "I dont have evedence to support my position

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 12:03pm

I had evidence to support my claims all you have is how you feel about the game.

Jkampana

1/15/14 12:06pm

Please provide it sometime then.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 12:08pm

Look at the recruiting rankings in the past few years

Jkampana

1/15/14 12:15pm

Utah recruiting is more about PAC10 than beating BYU.

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:05pm

How are recruiting rankings my opinion? You have to be trolling at this point

Jkampana

Jkampana

PolarisPrime

Knowledge? Don't you have to know something before you can share with cbers?

Jkampana

Acting like the Utah game is everything? That's quite the stretch you just made.

In the realm of useless comments that takes the cake.

PolarisPrime

I guess you would know all about useless comments, you have a string of them

Jkampana

1/15/14 3:34pm

And your awesome comments are not based on how you feel?

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:36pm

You are just ignoring facts like recruiting rankings and fan support.

Jkampana

1/15/14 3:47pm

BYU has had better recruiting rankings the past few years

PolarisPrime

1/15/14 3:52pm

Finally you address the point. Too bad you are wrong.
