I got to go to the Utah/BYU rivalry game this year, nothing splits Utah like this game, it was crazy! Even though I didn't go to Utah, pretty much everyone I know, including Blake and his family, either went there or cheers for them.
Growing up in North Carolina, I know a little about rivalries with UNC/Duke's basketball rivalry. I think of Utah as the UNC and I've always cheered for the Tarheels so it's an easy crossover. Plus, I swear you can tell who's a BYU fan without even asking.
Anyways, we went tailgating before the game and I saw some really funny things, and a few not so pleasant things (on BOTH sides mind you, but really, before this I would have thought what adult is going to argue with a 10 year old about who's the better team?!? Well, you'd be surprised.)
The game was exciting and even more fun that they won - Utah beat BYU 48-24 and ended their season ranked No. 6 in the BCS standings.
Here's some more pics from the event...
