The Vegas Spread vs. Utah

[Florwood]

I'm with Schmoe, though I suppose a cliffhanger would be more memorable.

Unless you were just born in the last year, we've had two great cliffhangers and I'll send you the CD rather than have to endure another. Granted, when all is said and done, there is a lot of joy derived from stealing the heart out of Utah once they think they have the game on ice like we did with Harline and then Collie/Unga, but I could enjoy a comfortable win without batting an eye. I'd love to have those SNOTS take to the exists early.

I'd have no problem with a beatdown. The AF game was fun,start to finish, even with the lopsided score and odd calls.

A nail-biter (2006, 2007) is memorable, but not necessarily more memorable than a blowout. If the margin of victory is 10-14 points, I could see that game being forgotten. But if we beat Utah like we beat Tulane this year (54-3) or Wyoming any of the last three years (55-7, 44-0, 52-0), I gaurantee that would be just as memorable.

I love games where we come from behind and beat the other team just when they know they have beaten us. That is sooooo depressing for them. The "fourth in 17" play or the "he's still open" play were daggers in the back of the ewets.

I don't think I agree with this. "4th and 18" will never be forgotten. "harline is still open" will not be forgotten. These are much more memorable because they are so unlikely than a simply blowout. simple blowouts happen all the time. magic like 4 and 18 when the game is over almost never happen.

I would love something like that to happen again. but it would be better for my health to have them blowout utah thus saving the stress on my heart, mind, and body of watching a nailbiter for a few hours.

Since 2001.... I have seen nail biting wins, nail biting loses, and 2 beatings at the hands of the yewts (04, I was at RES and 08)..... TIME FOR A COUGAR BEAT DOWN.... Forget the memories I want this game decided handily by the mid-third quarter

I really feel like the pukes last touchdown last year was unnecessary. I'd like to return the favor and have Terrance Brown rush one in on a goal line stand or two-point conversion.

Screw Terrance Brown--I want to see them put Riley Stephensen in at RB and let him take it up the middle for two. What's more insulting--(a) we used our 340 pound behemoth lineman to lumber in for the score, or (b) our placekicker ran it down your throat?

True, buuuut...

what's more entertaining:
A) watching our placekicker squeeze through a couple 's for a TD, or
B) watching our 340 pound behemoth lineman shatter the bones of a couple 's as he stampedes over them?

All the more room for me!

You are so right. Nail-biting, end of the game miracles happen much more often than Cougar blowouts of the Utes.

Oh wait. They've happened twice in the last three years (4th & 18, Harline's still open). Oh wait, they've happened three times in the last eight (Staley). Four times in the last nine (Lavell's Last Miracle). Five times in the last 11 (Kaneshiro Boink).

Whereas it's been since 1996 since BYU blew out Utah. In fact, BYU only has one win by more than seven points in the last 16 games.

Plus, if the Cougs blow out the Utes this year, it will be memorable simply because it hasn't happened in so long.

This is ALL I want for Christmas!
