Rivalry week is one of the most exciting weeks of the whole year in Utah! The Utah/BYU Rivalry is historically one of the most intense rivals in the entire nation. Few athletes are ever able to participate in such a big rivalry...combine that with college football and the energy can't be matched! On our campus, there are tons of events taking place this week: pep rallies, extra media events, and even the traditional 'hunt' for Cosmo The Cougar- a scavenger hunt on campus throughout the week will lead lucky students to find the nasty mascot from down south and claim a prize! Like we said...things get pretty crazy!
A great part of the rivalry is the opportunity to involve the whole community in a larger context than athletics. Each year, Utah and BYU compete in the Rivalry Week Food Drive. The goal is simply to collect as much food as possible to help those in need. Check out the video from Head Football Coach Kyle Wittingham to learn more about the food drive and how you can donate.
It's a great week to be a Utahn...it doesn't get any better than this! The game kicks off at 3pm this Saturday in Provo, UT. The game will be televised on CBS College Sports and The Mountain. For more details on the game, check out the official website.
GO UTES!!
