The Hoosiers' Comprehensive Guide to Refuting Purdue Fans
The intent of this article is to shed light on, refute or plainly trivialize Purdue memes that are incredibly inaccurate. The rivalry has a ton of chatter from both sides, but it appears that Purdue's side has less of a leg to stand on when it comes to historical comparisons, inferiority complexes...
Q&A with our hated rival...Colorado
Though the Buffaloes limp into Salt Lake City with an awful 2-10 record and an even worse losing streak on the road, as the old saying goes, you can throw out the records when two hated rivals meet! Colorado circled this game long ago. It's their Super Bowl. They've been throwing darts at a...
Holy War Moments: Even Utah cheerleaders kick Cougar ass
I posted this back in 2009 leading up to that year's rivalry game. I thought I'd revisit some of those memories because, well, they're just so damn awesome. 1999 was one of those special McBride seasons. Definitely should have been better than it was, but in the end, still pretty memorable for...
Know Your Foe: The Florida-Vanderbilt Game
For the past several weeks, we have been covering Florida's rivalries. Previous installments: Georgia, FSU, Tennessee, LSU, Miami, Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Georgia Tech. Florida has not lost to Vanderbilt since 1988, the Gators' second longest win streak over a conference...
Football with the Old Man
As some of you know, I lost my dad back in November. With fall camp starting this week, I've thought a lot about him. Much of that is because he died at the tail end of the 2010 football season. In fact, his health woes started the Saturday Utah played Notre Dame and he eventually passed the Sunday...
Know Your Foe: The Florida-Kentucky Rivalry
For the past several weeks, we have been covering Florida's rivalries. Previous installments: Georgia, FSU, Tennessee, LSU, Miami, Auburn, and Alabama. If I mention Kentucky as one of Florida's rivals, your first thought might be about basketball. But Florida's 61 games versus Kentucky make the...
Know Your Foe: The Florida-Miami Rivalry
Over the last several weeks we've covered the Gators rivalries with Georgia, Florida State, Tennessee and LSU. Almost a month before Neville Chamberlain gave us "peace for our time," while Florida State was still an all-women's college, the University of Florida and the University of Miami met for...
Cultivating a rivalry with Colorado
When Utah last played Colorado in football, the United States was on the eve of potential nuclear holocaust with the Soviet Union. A mere month before Pres. Kennedy stared down the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Utes would go on to upset the Buffaloes in Boulder to start the 1962...
Know Your Foe: Florida-LSU
This is part four in an ongoing series about Florida's rivalries. So far, we've covered Georgia, FSU, and Tennessee. Florida has faced off against LSU more than any other opponent except Georgia, Auburn or Kentucky. The two teams have faced off every year except three (1968-70) since 1953. It...
Hide yo kids! Hide yo wife - it could get ugly as Utes meet Cougs
This game has ugly written all over it. In fact, I fully believe BYU is capable of picking their score and there is probably nothing Utah can do to stop them. I hope I'm wrong, of course, but I think you have to go all the way back to 1997 to find a season where the gap between these two...
