The ultimate grudge match of the Mountain West Conference kicked off at about 4:15pm today. It had all the promise of a good game... and it was a good game. Good in so many ways, try 12,000,000 of them, dollars! Yup, that is what the MWC gets to split from the BCS. (Do you really think I understand any of this except the $12 million part? Think again! I just know what I'm told.)
This grudge match becomes very personal in my family with 2 UofU graduates and 2 from BYU. There is plenty of good natured razzing that goes on. Apparently this match-up has been going on since the late 1800's!! (In general, not in my family!) I just went looking for some photos online and found out that this whole grudge match is dubbed the Holy War and is featured at Wikipedea.
So am I ever going to get to the point? Sadly, yes, BYU got taken to the woodshed and given quite a whoopin!!! BYU 24 - U of U 48. (I think perhaps only Max Hall should be taken to the woodshed this time. Poor Maxie did NOT have a good game.
Just remember the $$$... I just keep telling myself that!
Silly-ness, says I... look at this... a video game!
