      You sure about that? Since those first 3 bowls it looks like the biggest margin of victory is 7 and defeat 6. I don't know anything about the BC game, but I do remember all 3 TCU games as great games, the Louisville game was great, obviously the Oklahoma game was great. I don't remember the ECU game, according to Wiki ECU dominated then BSU made an exciting almost comeback.

      I don't see BSU as a team that blows out bowl opponents.

                      Apparently Ute fans showed up in Las Vegas a little early as well.

                      http://globalgrind.com/channel/news/...illion-photos/

                      A Bellagio Hotel and Casino craps table was robbed by gun point when a guy ran up on players and grabbed more than $1.5 million in chips. Not exactly an Ocean’s 11 heist, but nevertheless, it didn’t stop the dude from jumping on his motorcycle and riding off into the night.

                      Police said the man drove a black motorcycle to the north valet entrance of the casino at about 3:50 a.m and walked into the casino with a motorcycle helmet obscuring his face. Security cameras caught him on camera but he is unrecognizable. Reports say he strode to a craps table and demanded chips. Patrons were not hurt and didn't have to fork over chips, but the man escaped on the chopper with an estimated $1.5 million in chips. He is described as a white man about 5 feet 10 inches and 220 pounds. He is suspected of robbing Vegas' Suncoast Casino of $20,000 last week.

                        He is going to double his money and completely change the line when he throws it all down on the Utes in the sportsbook.

                          Sounds like a frequent customer at the BYU Creamery to me.

                              No Ute fan would go near that creamery. With that circumstantial evidence any jury in America would convict him of being a Cougar fan.
