Yeah, the other common mantra on UteFans is "I won't go to Provo anymore." They say it's for safety reasons, in response to the guy that got his butt handed to him after taking on a 10-year-old girl at LES last year. I suspect the truth is they are tired of the same ole same ole.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

I like Boylen a lot, but most realize that Utah saw its pinnacle just a few years ago and it is going to take some time to reenergize those who believe they had discovered their manifest destiny.

It will be interesting to see how the Utes react against a very difficult UNM squad on saturday.
If I lived in Utah I would have been at the game but alas I am a diehard
