1. - Nate Cooper, Weasley and Trent Whiting. I know thats three all together but for the sake of brevity I'll lump them as one.
2. - How can holier-than-thou and superior moral standards square itself with tatoos and shaved heads?
3. - Greg Wrubell.
4. - Zoobie trolls on this board/Zoobie posters on the Zoobie board.
5. - Those ass-locators on the BYU uni's.
6. - Mrs. Trent Whiting. She gets her own catagory.
7. - Debunking the "Steve Cleveland is a great coach, recruiter and motivator" myth. AGAIN.
8. - Wyoming can win this game and there is still a way for the Utes to win the regular-season MWC title.
9. - Another pin to pop the balloon-thin hopes of the terrible triodescribed in #1 to EVER GO TO THE DANCE while playing for BYU.
10. - Itis, after all, BYU. The fact that they could help the Utes in any way witha win on Thursday pretty much guarantees that they'll choke.

10 they are a better "team" than the cougs (see 9 through 6)
9. inside strength too much for the cougs to handle
8. davis will have wesley in foul trouble early
7. pokes go with four guards which will tire whiting/lyday, 3's won't fall late which is why cougs lead early/lose late
6. experience in close games (Utes-ughh, csu (2), lobos on the road)
5. pokes hate the cougars, cougs dislike the pokes
4. pokes have the only coach that is louder than 12,000 fans negating home-court ad
3. 5 days off v. 3 days, did I mention depth? (see #7)
2. leaves Utes/pokes alone at the top, while we need some help we do possess the tie-breaker with pokes (head to head point differential) if unlv can win at home we would have top seed, same cannot be said of a y-Utah tie; of course a huge spank in the HC could change that. either way we should end up opposite Wyo in tourney

#1 In the cougs best season in a decade they probably finish fourth hoping for an invitation to the women's NIT!!!! (did I give away my impartial attitude?)

Layeth the smacketh down, pokes!!!

Love them Utes!!!

In Response To: 10 reasons why your an idiot!!! (sultans of schroyer)

> 1. Your more worried about BYU losing than you winning
This BYU game affects us greatly so yes we are worried about it. But I think you mean it in a we're obsessed kind of way. Sorry its not 1982 anymore and Ute fans worrying about BYU like that has gone the way of Max Headroom and those cute little denim skirts the girls used to wear. Although I wish those would come back

> 2. Bill Marcroft
The sad thing about this is Marcroft is our announcer because he's been around forever, you could have chosen anyone and you actually went with Greg Wrubel.

> 3. You actually call that feathered thing a mascot
As opposed to the glory that is Cosmo

> 4. Mrs. Trent Whiting is still hotter than anything in your cess pool
Damn right and she makes a mean casserole and does this great thing involving her toes and mineral oil, but I digress.

> 5. Althoff the choke-off
Don't get this one other than its some attempt to rhyme.

> 6. You may hate Wesley but he's outperformed everyone on your roster
Its a good thing too so his career doesn't amount to pre-marital sex, pregnancy, thrown elbows and technicals.

> 7. The Rydalch boys as big-time radio personalities, I'm still laughing
Dude again Greg Wrubell, Easy E to All Day to P-Whipped

> 8. You let Monson ruin your whole day
And you love a guy who goes after a coach spending time with his mother who has cancer

> 9. Can you say NIT?
Well we know you can

> 10. The Cougs clinch the MWC title w/a win at your pad on the 24th
Really cause I thought they were some other games to play as well. I'm certain after the way BYU has played on the road all year that they will suddenly figure it out.

This was a piss poor attempt at humor.
