Official UofU homer thread

For the U's bowl game, until the local media started in on it, I thought there was no way the U was going to the Vegas bowl. Just because when the U was in the MWC as I remember it the PAC10 would send it's 7th or 8th bowl eligible team, now things may have changed but that's just how I remember it being talked about. So standing wise the U would be the 3rd or 4th bowl eligible team and so besides going last year it just seems the U should be getting a better bowl game then last year given their record (even with the not so good ending of the season).
 
I was just telling/talking to my co-worker about this Thursday, he didn't remember it until I mentioned it. He obviously knew Jackson Emery but until he saw Henderson he didn't remember him or the play.

Was going to even post a Youtube link to it but the only one I found is from the stands using a phone, so all shaky and not good quality. So here is a link to a site that has it embedded if you care to watch.

When search Youtube he apparently did lots of stuff while at Ol Miss and I'm sure Cy LOVED him with all his heart.

For the record, that was a very fast swing that looked worse but didn't fully connect. It was more of a swipe elbow that definitely deserved him to get kicked out and suspended even though Jackson Emery over embellished the contact (as he should) and was the type of player that was an instigator hoping to get players to react (maybe not to that extent however) and you can see that's what he was trying to do at the end of that play.

I wasn't as upset (surprisingly) as a lot of other Ute fans are or were for the little Emery's punch (forget his first name) maybe due until I saw several replays did I really see the swing, I was more upset for the look/semi stand over Taylor and the words (whatever they were) that is actually what caught my attention that something happened no the punch or Taylor falling down (I initially thought they just tripped legs). We've all played basketball gave a little extra physicality to get back at someone but words are personal and that's why it bugged me more.
Good post

I think it is the 4th or 5th ranked pac12 team that is supposed to go to Vegas. Im not sure at all though, just seems like I heard that somewhere
 
The local media is all over it because it would be a 3 week feeding frenzy and make their job easier. While its likely to happen anyway, it seems like the local media is trying to will it to happen, which is already chapping my ***. If they end up facing off, I'm going on a message board/twitter boycott for my own sanity.

6th. There is little to gain for going to that bowl, last year we killed Colorado State but it did nothing as we came into this season unranked.

Going to Vegas and facing BYU would be a punch in the groin to every Ute involved, i would rather be in the freaking cactus bowl.

A punch in the groin both figuratively and literally given BYU's style.

A punch to the groin to anybody that has to watch a ute team that is nearly insufferable to watch play offensive football. As a BYU fan, I'd much prefer Cal, Wazzu or USC, but the problem is the other bowls feel the same.

Don't know why it matters to you. BYU will lose to any of the schools that end up in Vegas. Just count your blessings that San Jose State doesn't get a 2nd crack at you guys.

That doesn't make sense. If they are going to lose anyway, we might as well lose to and watch a fun opponent rather than a boring one we've played 100 times that has been garbage the last month of the season.

Actually, I agree with your reasoning. It probably wouldn't be any fun for your bowl loss to also be your 5th in a row and 10th outta 13th to Utah.
