Congratulations Utes for having several players receive conference honors. That is a great achievement!

[UtahDan]

Now, was that really necessary? I don't think so. Also, I prefer the Senioritis figure, in which the victor wears the vanquished teams, um, rear ends like hats. Although I think there needs to be at least a 2-touchdown margin for that one to apply. Why don't we just say the Buffs stole the Utes' jock straps?
(Forgive the somewhat dated imagery. I think it fits anyway.)

This is the right approach. Smile and pat the haters on the head.

The Executive Director for the Sun Bowl says that he is 80% certain that he will invite Utah. The ED says that there is a 15% chance of getting Washington, and a 5% chance of getting Cal, but he has ruled out ASU and UCLA.

He also said there is a 95% chance he will invite Georgia Tech.

$4 million payout. A nice $2 million for the Utes.

Do they get all the money from their bowl games, or do they have to split it with their conference mates?

This is great news! Congratulations on playing in the Sun Bowl, Utes! This is a very prestigious bowl. I hope many Ute fans will be making the road trip.

Don't know, but since the Las Vegas Bowl total payout is $1 million, I think we are moving up pretty well.

Agreed. The Sun Bowl is a great place for the Utes. They should be very pleased with that invite.

I don't know, but if they split it, then I would assume they get a split of the Rose, Fiesta, Alamo, Holiday, Vegas and Kraft bowls. Life on the inside is very nice.

Agreed. The Sun Bowl is a great place for the Utes. They should be very pleased with that invite.

You know, when I first got here, I received several pms saying you were a triple dipshit, but I don't know what they were talking about. All I've ever seen from you is the high road. Thanks for keeping it classy. And good luck to your team too in your prestigious bowl.

I am 90% that since we didn't receive any TV revenue, we'll be able to keep all of the bowl revenue.

I also heard someone say the other day that the PAC-12 covers all bowl expenses for its teams. I don't know if it's true or not.

[LA Ute]

Agreed. The Sun Bowl is a great place for the Utes. They should be very pleased with that invite.

Yes, the Christmas season is beginning, but I know you can keep your inner Grinch in check. Try!

I see you are an expert at mind games!

I am wishing you well.

Yeah, leave him alone. It's bad enough that he has to suffer through years of his football team's slow decline, and now you call him a grinch? Have a heart.
