BYU will pull it out like they always seem to. A bunch of calls and bounces will go their way.

Ive come to a method of maintaining personal serenity in the face of Kalani catching EVERY SINGLE BREAK possible, while our program has been repeatedly snakebit at one level or another since that Ohio State game.
Let them keep barely skating by, with help here and there, but when they run into the CCG, or the actual playoffs, their critical weaknesses will blow up in their faces. And that will be worth it to see the collapse of the collective delusion among the zoob faithful.
Sometimes particularly vicious schadenfreude is the best moral booster.

This seems appropriate here. (And yes, I know it was a SOD song first…this version is better.)
Funny random Utah-related story about this song. When Mrs. SkinyUte and I were first dating nearly 30 years ago, she was on Crimson Line (now Utah Dance Team). One of the cheers they did along with the marching band was to this song, and they changed the lyrics to “I wish I had some chocolate milk/My Cheerios just ain’t the same”.
First time I heard them do it, I told her I was surprised that Crimson Line would use this song as it’s not exactly, um, family friendly. Come to find out, none of them had ever heard the actual song before. She was horrified when I played it for her. That chant apparently was discontinued by Crimson Line after that year.
Whether it was due to her exposing them to the source material or not remains in doubt.

I remember that chant in the MUSS (I was part of the inaugural year).

They were still doing that chant in the MUSS a couple of years ago.

MUSS?
I was too busy drinking from my bota bag and playing “Wine in a Box” Volleyball while watching games back in the “Green Carpet of Knee Injuries” days in the stadium.
The MUSS has it easy. We had to deal with watching our team get boat raced while putting up mad “basketball-like” points on the board. No defense!
The MUSS has nice metal bleachers. We had wooden bleachers that splintered.
The MUSS has a nice section where they can rain down hell on the opposition. We had to fight off attacks from a colony of feral cats that lived under our section.
That all said, we always had Bubbles to rally us when we needed a nudge, and I would never trade any of those memories. I wish we would’ve won more, but we still had a blast.

One of my great joys and memories about Utah football is back when I was a student from 93 through 97, I was part of a group of maybe 20 to 25 people that sat down in that lowest corner in the student zone closest to the field they tried to stand up and chant and cheer the whole game to get people excited to get something going.
I remember one year when jackass actually tried to call security on us to make a sit down because we were blocking their view, and I know security talked to are unofficial leader, but nothing really happened. It was just insane to think somebody thought they could force you to sit down in a football stadium.
But I was overjoyed when Urban Meyer came and threw a little bit of nudging and suggestion along with some very dedicated student fans, they actually founded this official group called The muss.
I’ve talked it over with the few people I’m still in contact with from that era but used to sit down in that part of the stadium, and we’re all beaming with pride at what it has become, and while there’s no direct official tie, we all of you ourselves as the parents and grandparents of what The Muss has become all these years later.
Somewhere in the heap of belongings I have a storage unit from what I had to vacate my apartment set my in 2016, I do still have a piece of the goal post that was torn down after the BYU game in 94. I managed to direct a bunch of drunk and frat boys that were creating it around the tailgate lot over to an area where a whole bunch of us students from that group I mentioned were coordinating. And we managed to get that to somebody’s house and they eventually cut it up into pieces. Storming and goal post take downs from the air a little more understandable because the program was suddenly becoming something of consequence. This is however between insurance security etc, and the conferences only applied when they feel like it rule about field storming, you will not see a lot of that anymore. But it’s a wonderful memory to realize that while I didn’t actually try to claim up on one of the things I was there on the field helping move the thing around once it had come down.

I remember going to the Washington State game in a blizzard circa 1985 . Mark Rypien at qb, and Rueben Mayes at rb. We wore giant green plastic trash bags over our heads and plowing through 2 giant bota bags. We looked like a tribe of drunk Gumbys ! Utes won in a shootout.
