I think so as well. I'm hoping it's a good game though because this is one of only 3 bowl games I'm going to watch.

Utah obviously cares about this game. But you are correct that win or lose, Utah has the better future.
The Vegas Bowl gets what, the 5th or 6th place PAC team? You can bet your bottom dollar Utah will be better than that most years, and therefore going to a better bowl.
You're wrong that Utah should be striving to be Boise though. Everything Boise does, Utah did first. Utah has bigger BCS wins too. Boise only beat 1 actual BCS team in a BCS Bowl, and they needed a bunch of trick plays to get an OT win. And their record in non BCS bowls is crappy.

Are you going to bet against it? If I can find someone dumb enough to bet me that Utah will finish in the bottom half of the PAC 12 next year, I'll happily take their money.

Utah covers easily. The more I think about it the more I think Utah wins outright. But Utah easily covers.

But never fear...the article goes on to say that this is one of the 5 or 6 best bowls of the season, and that the announcers are quite excited. Well, excited because Boise State will be there, but still.
And now, I sit back and watch TapaDawg in action.

Not sure where the controversy is there. ESPN is sending their best announcing crew, the announcers are excited to be there, everyone is calling it one of the best bowl games of the year, and BYU fans like yourself are hoping beyond hope that Utah gets embarrassed.
How is that controversial, our even contradicting anything I posted?

Meh, not your best work, but it's enough to get me off for today.

I find it funny how you can speculate on Utah's mindset considering how much time you spend around the team. While I'll admit, I don't really like hearing players run their mouths before a game, it doesn't automatically mean Utah is afraid. I could just as easily proclaim that maybe it shows confidence and it would be no closer to the truth than what you're spewing.
Utah (or even BYU for that matter) should not aspire to have what Boise has. Utah is in a bigger market, has a deeper recruiting pool, better facilities, and much more upward mobility than Boise. Had the MWC stayed together after Boise joined, the nation would have quickly seen that when Boise had to play Utah, BYU and TCU year in and year out, they would no longer be a threat to bust the BCS every year. Nevada beat Boise this year, and while Nevada is a good team, they wouldn't have won the MWC. TCU would have most likely handled them and what if the Wolfpack traveled to Provo in the later part of the season instead of earlier? What if the Wolfpack had to face Utah when they were hitting their stride earlier in the season? The WAC is borderline DivII football right now and Boise has gotten fat off of it. No other way around that.
This is my absoutely favorite part of your quote because it shows what a wuss you are. Even though you claim to know that Boise is going to roll Utah, you're already laying out some backdoor excuses in advance just incase Utah wins or has a good showing. That's really pathetic man. Bottom line is this: Both teams have to take it upon themselves to come into the game fired up, prepared and ready to go. Let's not make excuses on either side, let the game dictate the winner. If it's Boise in a blowout, than so be it. You won't see any excuses coming from me.
Maybe that will be the case, or maybe you're wrong. However, if you're wrong at least do the decent thing and admit it without using any of those ready-made excuses that you've already started throwing around.
