Letter: Whittingham scars Wyoming

November 21, 2007

Editor: As a longtime Wyoming resident and lifelong Cowboy fan, I feel compelled to comment on the utterly shameful behavior of Utah's head football coach toward the University of Wyoming and the people of Wyoming.

By By Jon Gilbert • November 21, 2007

A rivalry such as the one between BYU and Utah cannot be contained by white lines on a green field. Nor does it stay behind the doors of a basketball arena. The Holy War transcends religious boundaries, as well as state and international borders. The rivalry presents itself almost everywhere on the respective campuses of Utah and BYU.

Utah has its running backs, BYU has its gun-slinger

By By Joseph Bateman • November 21, 2007

The tradition of Thanksgiving in North America started as a way to give thanks for the recent harvest. Things have changed in today's world.

Utah needs the team down south

November 21, 2007

Face it, Utah fans: This week wouldn't be nearly as fun if BYU fans weren't the way they are. Think back to your childhood. How fun would it have been to pick on your brother or sister if he or she would have just sat there like a BYU freshman at his or her first school dance? It definitely would have been better when little Johnny or little Suzy fought back.

Utah vs. BYU: The Edge

By By Cody Brunner • November 21, 2007
