Las Vegas Bowl doesnt want the Utes

Tina Kunzer-Murphy on the rivalry game and the Vegas Bowl:

If the MWC conference had not intervened and forced the Vegas Bowl to take Utah, BYU would be playing there, no doubt.

[U-Ute]

If the MWC conference had not intervened and forced the Vegas Bowl to take Utah, BYU would be playing there, no doubt.

They only intervened to try and keep the relationship healthy. If the MWC loses the Vegas Bowl, ABQ becomes your new home.

She's LDS, isn't she.

BTW, everyone who thought I was too snarky with U-Ute about defeatist quips, you have no idea how far back we go. I'm probably the only one who remembers that before there was webmonkey, before Jeff Lebowski, there was U-Ute. U-Ute is the Leif Erikson, he is the anonymous bard who penned Beowulf, of Utefans boards. We have belonged to secret combinations.

I doubt it. She hyphenates her last name.

[Portland Ute]

Portland and I go way back. He's been on my sh-t list since ever since he used to hate on Majerus, and he knows it. I just wish there was a way to give him blue stars here. I'd do it practically every time. We had a nick name for him on Utefans. Nattering Nabob of Negativism.

Still clinging to the outright lie about Majerus?

As for nicknames, anything is infinitely better than the Blathering Bastard of Bullshit.

[MartyFunkhouser]

The term "BCS Buster" is passe, anyway. The rules are already in place to allow a mid-major to play in a BCS bowl. What exactly are they "busting?"

You could make a pretty cogent argument that BYU single-handedly brought about and then blew up the original Bowl Alliance, then giving spawn to the BCS. That NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and 14-win team changed college football forever.

You could make that argument had BYU actually gone undefeated in 1996 or 2001.

I don't think so, but I hear she is a beloved aunt.

Who's new home?

[Top Ute]

I think he means against a legitimate team.

Boise wouldn't have had the chance to do it against a legitimate team if it had to meet the old BCS Top-6 standard Utah did in 2004.

[U-Ute]

Who's new home?

Sorry... poor phrasing. The MWC's new home.

Ute fight!

[BoylenOver]

I think he means against a legitimate team.

Because Utah had full control over who they got to play in 2004.
