BYU hosts UofUtah in Provo.

If BYU loses this game, it will taint their entire season.

I wonder what ghawd has in store for them? Will he bless them with victory or temper them with defeat?

Why would I want to get up that early ?

Darm me! (a darm is stronger than darn, but not as strong as damn.) It’s in the pm.

I have serious money bet against ghawd’s team.

Me too. The spread makes the bet a lock. Thank you BYU fans for betting on your team. Easy money.

I read that whoever provides warnings like this says the traffic southbound to Utah county will be really really bad so expect at least an hour's drive, which will make it close to 2 hours.
That probably doesn't include time finding a place to park.

And then another hour or two to get back to Salt Lake County.

Tonight, @BYUfootball takes on @UtahFootball in what’s deemed the “Holy War.” Now I know I’m supposed to not pick sides, but…to heck with that!

"To heck with that." I guess that's a pretty bold statement for Romney.

Sort of the equivalent of "to fucking hell with that shit" for a real man.

I'm just glad he didn't say "Nanny, Nanny, Boo, Boo!"

ESPN will be carrying for you. Never miss a chance to watch a good "Holy War".

leave at 2 or 3 p.m. and go have dinner. I hope U wins just because.

We were taking our kids to Disneyland back when they turned 8. Their birthday is November 21st and it so happened that Saturday was the byu vs U game. The traffic was bad that day. It took FOREVER to get from SLC past Provo and that was 1993. It will be bad today.

Yeah, I'll be watching a football game tonight...NFL pre-season game, that is.

I'll be so busy shaking my Pom Poms as Olddawg's cheerleader

that I won't have time

to watch the game. He can explain everything about it later.

I know zero about football.

latest line: Utah by 6.5 over BYU

Oh, God, why hast thou forsaken your team?

Please, in the remaining 13 minutes, smite the Utes sufficient that we can beat the spread!

And surely I will tithe an extra 1%, because thou would deserve it.


ETA I don't even finish my plea and the Devil's Utes do a pick six!!!

Jesus H. Christ!! Are you a God? It's 30 to 6...is this some kind of a sick and twisted test of my faith?

You've got 11:32 to pull our chestnuts out of this fire, oh Lord.

The Mormons' prayers were answered--with torrents from Heaven, even lightning! The MorGod spoke, and the officials stopped the game!

I was at a not-football-related party, and we Utes fans turned off the TV, and I just now got home--and still don't know how the game ended.

I assume Satan was mpre powerful than the lightning, and came back to win the war.

Utes 30 BYU 12

Now that's a righteous score!!

There is a fire in Bountiful and that is all the news talked about (that I saw).

We had a really bad storm here. My dogs were scared to death. It would have been interesting to go out and look at the lightening, but I was comforting the dogs.

The lead-up in the press to last night's game probably helped contribute to the less-than-one-touchdown spread.

But how could it be that the attendance was less than a sell-out!?! I didn't see exact/approximate figures, just the notation that LES did not sell out! I bet the internees at the MTC had to ignore the game, because, you know, ghawd ...

Of course, it's all just a test.

Attendance: 61,626




96%
Capacity: 64,045

That just means some stupid RM reported the actual numbers rather than the expected numbers.

The Deseret News begged ESPN to not refer to the game as the Holy War. I watched the entire game and not only did the announcer mention Holy War at least 20 times, he also said Mormon an additional 20 times.

Victory for Utah and Satan. Go Utes!

Hahahaha!

BYU loses a game that really means a lot to them, and while doing so, it is constantly referenced as a Holy War (leaving the implication that mormon ghawd lost!) and then one of my favorite words in the world, 'mormon', gets repeated to a nation starved for good, clean fun.

...so maybe there is a ghawd, and he's definitely not mormon?
