Utes crush Cougars!!

Well I just returned from one of the most passionate games your can ever watch-BYU vs UTAH football. Few rivalries can match the intensity of these games. Nick named as Holy war, it draws huge crowds and passions run high.

Me along with Kannan reached the ground around 3.35 PM and the game kicked off at 4.....we were right in the middle of a whole group of MUSS(Mighty Utah Student Section) fans. And the fun thing was there were some BYU fans right infront of us...they were a small group in the middle of the big crimson tide(Utah's color is crimson). Poor guys they were the target of all different kind of projectiles(popcorn, papers, ice cubes, even burritos) and the fun part was a BYU guy started eating one of the burrito thrown on to him, and Utah fans were shouting saying "hey that burrito has shit man"...it was really funny, but I felt sorry for that BYU guy...but yeah he should expect animosity if he comes inside the Reds area!

Red Red everywhere....

James & his brother were a great company all throughout the game, particularly in explaining rules & ofcourse the whole MUSS group was awesome...After the game, supporters just ran into the stadium to revel in the glory of winning the Moutain west conference, Entering the bowl & most importantly beating BYUThe board says it all....poor BYU fans, they were whacked badly...well I heard they behave decently in their home ground when BYU-Utah game happens...but we are not so good :D

Goo UTES!!!

Hurray....got the BYU game tickets!

Well boy, the rivalry between Utes(University of Utah's college Football team) & Cougars(BYU's team) is one of the greatest you can ever witness. For people of Utah its called Saints Vs. Sinners game..(you can make who are they referring to as saints and who is sinners).

Well this years game is being held in our own Rice eccles Stadium, hence we had a chance to grab the tickets. The tickets for this match are one of the most sought after...i can see them being traded in craig's list at around $1000.(This is a $60 normal price one).

Anyways our whole group planned to get the tickets at any cost this year...so here is how we got them --> The ticket counter opens at 8.00 AM on saturday, and you can have around 3000 free student tickets. People started setting up tents on friday evening outside the ticket counter just so that they grab them as the counter opens on saturday. We guys also got 2 camp tents..one from Merugu and we rented other one...and we were some where like 130th tent in the order..amazing na..

So shortly after 10.30 PM I went to our camp for the night where we made elaborate arrangements...Lappies loaded with movies, chips, coke etc...( not to forget booze & ciggies for some). Ours was a 12 strong group and we started by making fun of each one standing in a circle. Of course I became quite the center of these jokes for some time because of my night time bickering which I do regularly when I am in deep sleep.

After that we set on to play cards....A game called as Bluff...I was really bad at bluffing..so I sucked at the game. Anyways it was fun...but the night was mercyless. The temp outside was around 2 degrees celcius...shit we were freezing. Around 1.00 AM I set out to sleep in the tent grabbing my comforter and I swear it was one of the best sleep in the recent times.

Time ticked and we got up and packed the tents around 6.15 AM. People started forming queues and we joined them...then there was the painful standing for 1.5 hrs till we got them....and finally we have them...the tickets to BYU vs UTES.................HELL YEAH!!

Nov 22.....................the Holy war starts
