    Miami Bowl 2014 - BYU vs. Memphis

    Time for a game thread I guess. Check out the stadium. Looks like we are playing in Cuba or something.

    Two years in a row on a baseball field. Last year didn't work out so well; I hope this year they're able to get past third base (only during the game, of course).

      Those left field seats are really crappy for football.

        Awesome. That means we can go to the game now!

          With so many married players they will show leadership and go all the way.

            At least both teams do not have to be on the same side of the field.

              Meanwhile, BSU is in the Fiesta Bowl. I started to fill out my officepool picks, saw that and said to myself, wtf? Miss, Ole Miss, TCU, Baylor, etc. all shut out of big bowls and Boise is in the Fiesta? But BYU still thinks it's better off outside the MWC. BYU has a very hard head.

                The Fiesta Bowl? Who gives a shit? It's just as meaningless as the Miami Beach Bowl and the Las Vegas Bowl. Here's an analogy you can understand - under the playoff system, in terms of winning or losing, going to the Fiesta Bowl carries about as much meaning as when your basketball team goes to the NIT or the CBI.

                  BCS bowls were always meaningless unless they were hosting the NCG. College football fans with a modicum of perspective have always realized this.

                    Right. The playoff really has little or nothing to do with it.

                      SU is partially right. The MWC has better bowl access than BYU does. That is about the only advantage the MWC has over independence.

                      EDIT: But SU's post is dumb because it implies that BYU and BSU performed equally well this year. Not so.

                        SU's post is also dumb because it implies that BYU and BSU earned equally well this year. Not so.

                          Someone should tell SU that Baylor, Ole Miss, TCU and Miss St weren't locked out of big bowls, they are in as big of games as Boise.

                            SU's post is also dumb because he's SU and the post is about sports.
