Monday morning I sent a text message to Andy. I was distraught, confused, and bewildered. "What do we do now?" I asked, unable to see any way or any reason to go on.
"We march on," he said. "And we don't look back. Saturday happened. We can't change that. But there will be another Saturday, and we will go on."
Or something like that.
Utah and BYU met their BCS demise last Saturday in some high-profile games. BYU lost to an efficient Florida State team at home, while Utah had their nation's-longest-winning-streak ended by an Oregon team looking for a big win. So the question remains for those of us who have lost hope of a BYU or Utah BCS-buster: what now?
Well, it's back to business for the Cougars and Utes. No. 19 BYU (2-1) hosts an undefeated Colorado State (3-0) team on Saturday, while Utah (2-1) welcomes Louisville (1-1) to Salt Lake City.
It is important to note that while BYU and Utah have seemingly dropped out of BCS bowl contention, there are still some BCS-buster hopefuls, including Boise State, TCU and Houston. While we would have loved to see a university from Utah represent in the BCS, the most important thing is that we have non-BCS schools competing in BCS bowl games.
And so, Cougar and Ute fans, the fight must go on.
