Let us all be thankful for our many blessings.
With the advent of fall, brings college football. This year many of us have something to be thankful for. Whether we be fans of the University of Utah or BYU we have much to be thankful for. Up in Salt Lake we are thankful that Brian Johnson is finally healthy, and once he get in rhythm is almost unstopable. Down in Provo, BYU fans can be thankful that there team may actually live up to the hype of being a BCS Buster. Fans of both teams I am sure could list many more things that they are thankful for, but there is one thing that I am in paticular thankful for. That one thing is the unfathonable possiblity that both teams could be undeafeadted come November 22. Granted there is still a lot of football to be played and any number of things could happen between then. There could be an injury to a key player, an opposing team could get hot at the right moment, or any other number of strange things that happen in college football.
If this historic meeting were to take place with two undeafeated teams, and two nationaly ranked teams the historic nature of this game could not be expressed into words to justify it. For many years BYU fan have felt like they deserved national respect, and in someways they are correct they have produced some great Quarterbacks, and had some great teams. Lavell Edwards and Norm Chow even changed college football to be more pass happy. The University of Utah had some national succes in 2004 when they became the first team to break into the BCS. But the one thing that has held back both teams from becoming conversations on ESPN is the fact that most time they have weak strength of schedules. Most of that fact as to be because of the weak Mountain West Conference. Another thing that has hurt the national exposer of these two teams is that usually it seems that only of the teams is in the national speak. This year how ever is different. BYU started as a preason top 25 and has since moved up the rankings steadily. Utah started just out side the top 25 and is now number 20. BYU if the things follow into place could even be considered for National Championship Game. Granted that possiblity is small is still a possiblity.

You have a blog! This is so exciting - and I totally agree with being grateful for Utah football! We have a blog, too. It's www.wesandrenee.blogspot.com. It's private, but I will add you if you want.
I just got the chills thinking about the possibility of that game. Your right, there's still a lot of football to play but the hype of this year will still make it a great game.
