Welcome to CrashUtah – Where BYU fans Talk Sports

I know this is old news, but I don’t care. I haven’t had a chance to post it. Really I don’t care because the observations are still valid today. I made the long trip to Provo so I could see the game live and enjoy the beauty of Lavelle Edwards stadium. I can’t think of many things more beautiful than visiting a football stadium. This is true going to a BYU game or attending a game here at UNLV. I just love the atmosphere of it all.

Sure BYU beat Utah State, but it wasn’t all that impressive. The good part is that Robinson was injured. I’m not sure if he played today against TCU, but I’m interested to see the tape of the game when I get it from my brother-in-law. Don’t try to tell me that he got an interception and ran it back for a touchdown. This is true, but if that’s all you look at then you’re crazy. You should have seen him getting beat time and time again. He’s just missing some of the innate skills needed to play corner.

What was really funny is the guy behind me was complaining over and over about Robinson getting beat by a wide receiver. He had some very good points that I enjoyed listening to since he was spot on. However, right after the guy behind me had finished complaining about Robinson getting beat, Robinson got the interception run back for the touchdown. That sure shut that fan up. Which a lot of people would like. It just gave me another reason to dislike Robinson. I like hearing fans talking smack. Robinson ruined that for me. Either way, a good quarterback would have eaten Robinson alive.

The O-line did look good even with the injuries they’ve had.

One other observation from being at the Utah State game. Why in the heck would the BYU marching band play Yankee Doodle Dandy for their half time show? This has to be the stupidest decision I have ever seen made by a band director. There are so many incredibly good songs out there and they chose Yankee Doodle Dandy. No wonder people hate band. If you play crap songs like that then the band deserves to be hated. I’m not saying you have to go out there and play the crap that people call music today. I am saying that Yankee Doodle Dandy is an absolutely horrible choice of music for a half time show. Choose something better and if you can’t choose something better then quit your job. You’re ruining it for all of us that love band, but wish that you didn’t keep giving it a bad name.
