DESERET FIRST DUEL SERIES (2008-09)
As the second year of the Deseret First Duel Series is underway, the University of Utah
has a 16-6 advantage heading into this week’s battles in both men and women’s
basketball competitions. The Cougars claimed sports supremacy over the Utes last season
and took home the first Deseret First Duel trophy with a 34-30 edge in the point tally. The
rivalry series includes competition in the 12 sports in which the two universities compete
head to head during regular-season play and uses a system that awards points to the
winner of each competition.
A team trophy is awarded to the individual winner of each sport -- football, basketball, softball, etc. Points won by the individual sports count toward each school’s overall total.
The 2007-08 season marked the first year of the Deseret First Duel Rivalry Series presented by Deseret First Credit Union. The term Deseret refers to the original name of the territory of Utah (State of Deseret) and is an appropriate name for an athletic rivalry that dates back to the 1890s. The term Duel refers to a contest between two parties to decide a point of honor. Blending the two terms is the ideal name for a formalized series.
The Utah vs. BYU rivalry is one of the oldest and strongest in the country. In November 2005, the Wall Street Journal rated the rivalry the fourth best in college athletics. Thanks to a partnership with Deseret First Credit Union, the rivalry now has an official name and a traveling trophy to signify yearly supremacy.
