The Battle Rages On

Kyle Smith- Hmm, maybe my sight's going bad, but I swear that looks like a U. player hanging there!
(Wo, things is getting' ugly with this Y....U issue

Candace E Salima-Ouch!
Hollie-Ok Kyle-
one thing that is a RABBIT!!! You are jest having fun with this BYU/
UTE thing. Can't get enough? You do know I have been cocked picked.
This is nothing.
Kyle Smith-Hollie,
Just so you (and everyone else) are aware......after the photo returned to me through F.F. I had regretted sending it.
Good, fun rivalry is fun and great..but I realized after I posted it, that it bordered a bit too much on distasteful.
I had no clue what the cougar was holding in it's mouth, as the photo was too small to really tell.
But regardless, my apologies to anyone offended by that, (and even if you weren't) I realized that the Y....U rivalry
should only go so far..not beyond limits.
After all, as most of you know, I have some terrific U-fan friends many of them right here in the group, so it's
important (at least to me) that it be only what it's intended to be...just fan rivalry, nothing more.
'course that doesn't mean that I still want to see the U. "washed"......maybe even "converted"..
KdS
Kyle Smith- OOPS,
I meant to say that I "definitely do" want to see the U. "washed, hung out to dry", and "converted"!
Besides, even in the alphabet...the letter U soon changes to Y.........correct?
KdS
Candace E. Salima- Hmmmm.
Hollie-Kyle-
One thing....Ok 2. #1 my dads side of the family lives in Provo. My
brother and I are Utes fans so is one of my cousins. I can so take
this. #2 My moms side well they are all Ute fans. So my dad and other
brother are so outnumbered. So the rivalry in this group is nothing
compared to my family. So you must know I am keeping myself in check.
Remember early humans hunted cougars and skinned them, ate their
flesh, and wore their skin as a trophy. Now it is getting ugly.

Kyle Smith-Well, yeah but ya gotta admit, that was back in the primitive cave man days before they
became totally civilized and educated...right?
Why do ya think the cave men became extinct? That's 'cause the cougars ate 'em all.
You see..........cougars are still around........can the same be said for these early hoomans?
Hollie-Yeah how about this......humans EVOLVED!!! As for the
cougars.......still primitive, they have never changed.
I must say Prs. Monson is a Ute!!!!! GO UTE'S!!!!!
Kyle Smith-Hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
"Cwap" I'm trying for a rebuttal, but how does one argue with this?
But just watch out........somethin' will come to mind.
To add insult to injury...Jaq tells me: "Never argue with a female."
Guess it's not like I'm in the majority here.
Boy, you're right........this is getting' "uglee"
Okay......that does it! I'm gonna write to every general authority to find out who's
a Ute fan and who's a Y fan.
(or maybe not)
P.S. Gee, ya think maybe this battle's getting' stale?
Candace E Salima-Ah, but when President Monson was a Ute the University of Utah was owned by
the Church. Now that they're not . . .
Hollie-You know that goes to show that the U of U has devloped some good
Men.
Kyle Smith-"Tooooo Sheyyyyyy" Hollie Girl
See, now ya know what caused them to deteriate!
Hollie- Deteriate???? explaine please.
Christy Gruber-Just cause the prophet is a Ute doesn't mean we have to root for the Ute!
Hollie-Have we gone too far? Should we stop?
Christy Gruber-Naaaaa I was just kiddin!!!
Candace E. Salima-I'm good. I feel my Cougars have been amply defended. I was just telling
Alvin this morning how fun this was because all the emails are written in
good, clean fun. None of the hateful stuff I hear on the radio and t.v. the
week or two leading up to the "holy war." So as long as keep having fun and
be nice, I think it's okay.
Kyle Smith-Very true.......I'm not even sure I spelled "deteriate" correctly......so how in
the world can I x-plain?
Besides....I was only referring to those same Ute fans that Candace pointed out earlier..
you know, the beer drinking (during the games), foul mouthed ones. Which by the
way..embarrassed to say and sadly, the U. doesn't hold the monopoly in that arena.
Lisa Bennett-I think this is all in fun, and am enjoying the emails on the Utes vs the Cougars. I attended the U of U from Fall of1982 through the Spring of 1983. I have to admit I never attended a game. I could see the "U" from my dorm room window, and so I would know who won. I always cheered the Utes unless they played against BYU. Guess you could say that I was a "double" agent.
Keep the emails coming.
Candace E Selima-Oh, without question, Kyle. I remember a BYU/UofU game a few years ago when
a BYU fan tackled a U of U cheerleader who was running around the field with
the U of U flag after a Ute touchdown. The cheerleader dropped the flag and
beat the tar out of the guy.
Here's the interesting part. The sweet woman who donated her kidney to
Alvin? That was her husband, the cheerleader. He's now a tough major in the
Army who just returned in June from a tour in Iraq. Alvin and I love that
young man so much.
Kyle Smith- Candace,
Good for him!
As all U. and Y. fans know, there is nothing wrong with the harmless bantering back and forth
extolling the virtues of either team.
But anything beyond that, whether it be simply foul or ugly insults tossed back and forth or any
physical altercation shows exactly nothing except for the fact that those involved are morons,
regardless of the school they represent.
Give this man my kudos....what a great example.
Candace E Salima-Will do. Here's the funny part. While Billy was in Iraq, Alvin and I hung
out with his wife and kids a lot. I indoctrinated his kids, his wife is
already a Cougar fan (she always says, "ours is a house divided") to being
Cougar fans. When we saw him the first time (after he and his wife spent 10
days in the Bahamas destressing) I egged the boys and little girl on until
they said Go Cougars. The look on his face was priceless . . . and
disgusted. It was a very funny moment.

Here's another great one. My brother-in-law is a Ute fan. He and his wife
have been very generous with their children since the days they were born.
Their children have been in our home much of their lives for overnight
stays, sometimes a week at a time and I've used that time to turn his
children into Cougar. Connor and Brigham both play football now. Their coach
is Kaylin Hall (I don't know how to spell his name) which is funny. The
other day Connor made a BYU poster that would fill his bedroom ceiling and
put it up. Aaron walked in to say goodnight and within minutes I had a
phonecall from my sister who was laughing so hard she could hardly talk.

It is all in good fun.
Hollie-Ok the foul mouth, drinking, and the physical contact should stop with
no question. But I have always wanted to be in Ute attire and walk
around BYU. I want to know what will happen. What do you think will
happen. The Beast against the Human. What will happen?
Candance E. Salima-The Beast against the Human? Ha, ha! I wouldn't recommend it, not without a
couple of big burly guys with you.
Hollie-What are you saying Candace. How big do these guys need to be, and
how much is a couple? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! This is so much fun!!!
Candance E. Salima-Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'd say they'd have to be pretty big. All that milk
makes for big, strong BYU students. Hmmm, did I say that? Who? What? As to
price, can't say what a couple of Ute football players would go for . . .
should I, dare I . . . $2?
Hollie-WHAT!!! $2????? So what dose BYU go for? Hmmmmmmm I'd say 0.2.
HAhahahahahah!! BYU can have all the milk, I'm allergic. Yes I'm
allergic to BYU peopel!!!!!
Candance E. Salima-Oh Hollie. I'm busting into laughter every time I read one of these. You
guys are great!
Let me go ask Sete that you'd like to know what he's worth and I'll give him
your suggested price. And in case you're wondering how to pronounce his name
it is: se-tay)
Hollie-I'm having fun Candace. Great break from politics. Yes go and ask
how much Sete is worth. But I can't be near him remember I'm
ALLERGIC!!!! AHHH....CHEWWWWW!!!! AHHHH....CHEWWWW!!!
Candance E. Salima- Lucky for you, he just left. I'm giggling. You guys are a great break from
politics. I truly fear November 4th and what the future brings. It actually
is causing nightmares. And so this has been so much fun today!

I think BYU Cougars are easily worth, at minimum, $1,000,000 per.

Hah!
Hollie-No way. can't be $1,000,000 per year. I still think $0.02. That
sounds more like it. I'm giggling also, along with that this has made
my day. GO UTE!!!!!!
Candance E.Salima-Go Cougars!!!!!
Kyle Smith-Just be sure you have your earthly matters all in order and your will completed. $2.00 ? A rip off to say the least.
Hollie-Ya well know this. If anything happens to me I am a organ donner. So
some poor BYU may get my organs and be converted to the UTE side.
There is no escaping Ahahahhaha!!!!!
And it was not $2.00 it was $0.02. So ya $2.00 was a rip off.
JoAnn-I've been out of town. In fact I'm still out of town. In Price, Utah to be exact, spending some time with my mom. Anyway, I checked my e-mail just a few minutes ago, and I found the most interesting, ongoing, discussion. I laughed with the rest of you. Isn't this fun?

It reminds me of when I was in high school, and we lived on the north side of the county and there was another high school on the south end of the county. We the students of North Emery High School, were, of course, the best students, had the best basketball team and baseball team, etc., etc., The students from South Emery High School were the drinkers, the troublemakers, not quiet in our class, if you know what I mean.

Eight years later, my husband and I were living on the South end. Brent was coaching and teaching at Emery County High School. There was no longer a North and South. The two schools had been consulidated. But there was still the rivaly between the two. As years passed, however, they came to like each other.

We laughed with new friends who were, at one time, our rivals, and we found out that what we thought about the kids at South Emery, were the same things they thought about us.

I decided that if either the Y or the U found themselves in an unfair or dangerous situation, the other team would be right there to defend them, because behind that rivaly is a great deal of respect. What do you think? Am I way out in left field?

I'll be back home tomorrow and will check in and see if I'm plastered with rotten tomatoes. (Make them Emery County Tomatoes if you do, because there are no better tasting tomatoes in the world)

Yumyumyum,

Christy Gruber-You think the Ute verses BYU rivalry is bad? Ya ain't seen nuttin' till you
see the browns and steelers rivalry :)

Candace E Salima-Hi JoAnn,

I think you're right. If it came to BYU and U of U against a common enemy.I
too believe they come together and watch each other's backs. After all, it
is the MWC against the rest of the nation, specifically the BCS. This is
something both teams are fighting.

And yeah, it is too much fun. Have a safe trip home!
Hollie-Oh yeah even tho Candace, Kyle, and everyone who is all for that
'other' team, they are still great friends!!!! We have been having
fun. I keep laughing at it all. But I think that when the rivalry is
to the extreme that is when trouble happens and people start to get
hurt that is the ugly side of it. This is jest good clean fun. Right
guy's?!
Kyle Smith-Of course.......and after the game's all over (and the Y comes out victorious) (snicker),
then it's back to the drawing boards to see what else we can go at each other about.
Candace E. Sailma-Oh, I'm sure.
Hollie-Keep dreaming guys. But the U will give the Y a run for their money.
