BYU - UTAH FOOTBALL RIVALRY INTENSE (EVEN IN IRAQ)

The War of the Wasatch. . . The Battle for the Beehive Boot. . . Good vs Evil. . . North vs South. . . Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader. . . Lex Luthor vs Superman. . . Church vs State. . .and dare we say it?. . . THE HOLY WAR! YEESSSS!!!! The annual regular-season ending game between the Brigham Young University Cougars and the University of Utah Runnin' Utes is once again upon us. With regard to this titanic struggle for football supremacy in the Beehive state, the term - 'The Holy War' - has not only become entrenched in the vernacular of the fans living along the Wasatch Front, it has been carried far and wide across this nation and even to far-flung corners of the world. In fact, if you google The Holy War you will find its explanation and history in Wikipedia, replete with the scores of each contest in the series. Cool. Wherever graduates, families of graduates or just plain FANS of these two schools travel or relocate, their allegiances travel with them. As indicated in these photos those feelings of Blue or Red alliance are even evidenced halfway around the world in Iraq.
