Official UofU homer thread

What are the chances we get matched up with BYU? I could see it happening just because of economics, but I'm not sure how BYU's bowl commitments are structured. Unfortunately this year is ending on such a down note for the Utes that whatever bowl match-up we have will probably feel like a bit of a disappointment.

Good post.
If the utes got matched up with some random average team would ute fans care much?
If they got matched up with byu would they care more about the bowl?

I think that if I were a ute fan I would be excited about a bowl game either way but much more excited about a bowl game against byu. Utes have pwned byu and another pwning would get the bad taste out of their mouths that has been put there by the recent losses.

On the flip side it would really suck to end the year with a loss to the cougars

I'm sure Vegas would love this match up. The Utes would have little to gain and a lot to lose (in terms of reputation, not money). I think the Cougs would take it in a heartbeat. I could definitely see it happening and I'll bet the hype would be enormous for their first ever neutral site game.

I want no part of a bowl game with BYU. It's a much better scenario for the Utes to get into a bowl game vs a Big 10 or Big 12 school. Sure, the state of Utah would be all a flutter leading up to that game, but I'm really not interested in 3 weeks of nastiness and rhetoric spewing from both fan bases. I can't even handle 1 week of it. Hell, I'm gonna be in a bad enough mood all offseason considering that we have to open with them next year.

I'm sure BYU and its fan base would jump at the chance to shun the Hawaii bowl in favor of playing Utah in Vegas, but there's really no incentive for Utah to feel the same.

I feel the same, but I could definitely see it happening. It wouldn't surprise me a bit. The money will likely be much bigger than any other option, and money talks.

I agree with your first paragraph

I disagree with your second.

I hate the rivalry. (Even hated it in the long ago when byu was on top.)

Wazzou is not a program you get turned around and stay at. You turn them around and then get the **** out of Wazzou.

Wazzou was the first team to take a shot at hiring Leach after his issues at Tech....so it's possible he might have stronger loyalty to them than you would normally think. I'm pretty sure somebody is going to grab him this offseason though. There are too many good head coaching job openings and not a lot of good offensive minds to fill them.

While I absolutely believe what you're saying, I think my statement is generally true when looking big picture. The chairman of the Vegas Bowl was on 1280 this morning and when asked about a possible Utah-BYU match up, he said that they've had contact from BYU reps who have let it be known they'd like to see it happen. He also said that Utah hasn't really been in contact and he gets the vibe that they're not really interested in the possible match up.

Ya I think you are right about byu fans wanting to play utah in Vegas. Just not me
 
Be interesting with Joe Williams, fumbled 2 games in a row and now may be hurt, when he runs he looks good, very fast but if you can't hold on to the ball Whit will not play you.

Also crazy that last offensive series for the U, 1st down the D wasn't ready for the snap and the U offensive line still almost gave up a sack, 2nd down did give up a sack 3rd down another sack. Again gotta have the 3 worst O-Lines in the PAC12.

Also glad the U got the INT because of the touching of the QB's should as he slides that is apparently a horse collar tackle.
 
Just want to publically say **** you to Direct TV for not having the Pac 12 Network, I have the most expensive package along with NFL ticket but I can't watch the Utes or any of the Pac 12? GTFOH but don't worry my payment will be on time as usual, only thing keeping me with these douchebags is the NFL ticket....
