I heard a rumor from one of my buddies that the guys who organize the fight hunger bowl are trying to get a Utah-BYU match up this year. Kind of a last matchup in the rivalry for a couple years.
If I'm Utah, I want no part of that and despite what BYU fan will say about why, it's not out of fear of losing. First of all, Utah has to get their asses bowl eligible in the first place. Besides that, a bowl game against BYU does little to nothing for Utah win or lose.
We all know the numbers. 4 straight wins, 9 out of the last 12, blah blah blah. As far as in-state recruiting, Utah has done its job in beating BYU for the better part of 2 decades. Winning or losing a bowl game against them won't change the landscape that Utah has cultivated over the past 20 years.
If Utah gets to a bowl, they're better off playing some crap school from out West or Texas for recruiting purposes. Plus, BYU fan needs to think REALLY hard about giving Whit an entire month to prepare for BYU. Whit seems to out coach Bronco nearly every time they meet.
