Let the trash talk begin...


It is rivalry week. That's right, it is almost time for BYU to take on the Utes from the University of Utah. This football game is more commonly known as the Holy War. In fact, if you type in Holy War on Wikepedia it actually talks about the BYU and U of U rivalry-forget the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, we are talking college football here. This game is played for the highly coveted trophy- "The Beehive Boot." This being the most anticipated game of the season it becomes my privilege and opportunity to make fun of the Ute's as much as possible throughout the course of this week. This year effective trash talk is especially important because we will be dreadfully out numbered by Ute fans at our football watching party on Saturday. However, we will attempt to compensate for our few numbers by being louder and more obnoxious than our Ute friends and neighbors-and if you know anything about University of Utah alums being louder and more obnoxious is going to be a difficult task. Please check back daily this week for a new University of Utah joke. Here are the first jokes of Rivalry Week 2008!


1. Q: What does the average Utah player get on his SAT?

A: Drool.


2. A woman received some bad news one day. It seems that her husband had been in an accident and was brain dead. However, the hospital had perfected a new brain transplant procedure and luckily there were two brains available. A Cougar brain transplant would cost $10,000. A Ute transplant would cost $100,000. Curious, she asked why the Ute brain was so much more expensive. The reply...."The Ute brain has never been used."


3. Q: What do you get when you breed a Utah Football player and a groundhog?

A: Six more weeks of bad football.
