Anyone hear the Fiesta bowl rep on 1320 this morning?

[myboynoah]

Technically the Bowl Alliance, not the BCS, but your point is still correct. BYU got the shaft.

Truthfully, from a financial perspective, I can't say I blame these bcs conferences.

Yes, because it's all about the number of TV sets. Mormons need to watch more TV.

I don't think would be interesting at all. It seems that such a pairing would be a bloodbath. My guess is that this is why the Fiesta Bowl rep does NOT want Utah, but would prefer Ohio State.

Interesting would be Utah v Boise State, maybe.

i think bloodbath is overstating it quite a bit. The Utes would likely lose, but I'm not convinced that it would be by more than 10 points - certainly not a blood bath. Any given Saturday, my friend... Utes being coached by Kyle gives me hope that, like Majerus in 1998, our Crimson warriors can game plan their way to a win or at least a very respectable showing against top-notch game planning. Plus, irregardless of what you want to say - the Utes defense is top notch.

I'll take the 10pts and over against these teams: Oklahoma, Florida and Texas
It would be a major bloodbath against of these 3 opponents.

Against Alabama I think they could be competitive to a point. Alabama's power rushing attack would overwhelm Utahs Front 7.

Against USC Utah wouldn't be able to move the ball and would be lucky to score 10 points.

Just my opinion of course.

Does irregardless and regardless mean the same thing?

Using irregardless in his application is probably how AA got accepted to Duke for law school.

Beg your pardon?

I will make every effort to attend irrespective of the location.

[il Padrino Ute]

Beg your pardon?

See? That's why you were accepted to Duke and if I were to send applications to law schools, I'd be lucky to get accepted to the Howard J. Turkster school of law on the campus of South-Southwest North Dakota University in Marmath, ND.

The word he is looking for is irrespective. Irregardless is a nonsense word. It it would literally mean without without regard to.

3D is trolling. If Oregon State beat USC, Utah beats Texas. The Utes would be in the game because of their defense.

[BlueHair]

The Utes would be in the game because of their defense.

Texas would score 35 without much problem. BYU scored 24 with 5 turnovers. Texas has a much better QB and offense than BYU. 50+ points would be likely. Texas doesn't have a great defense so Utah might be able to keep it close by scoring a lot of points.

Agreed. Utah's defense doesn't get the credit it deserves on this board.

I think Utah keeps it within 10 points against anyone in the top 10, maybe even pulling off a win, and beats anyone outside of the top 10. Again, like Rocky, this is just my opinion. Any given Saturday... that's the beauty of college football. Oregon State can beat USC, Ole Miss can beat Florida, and the Utes can beat Texas/Florida/Oklahoma/Alabama... Hope springs eternal.

Irregardless is a nonsense word that is an accepted part of oral speech. I didn't realize that CUF had such stringent standards for posts.

And the Utes scored 48 and doubled the Coug's score with those 5 turnovers (or was it 6?)... speculative at best until the game is played, but I think that the Utes keep it close againts Texas. You get to McCoy you can disrupt their offense. The Utes have the ends to get to McCoy and the defensive backs to cover any group of receivers in the country. Where I get a little concerned is the size of our linebackers - power backs like Vakupuna and Unga seem to be able to pick up a few extra yards per carry because of the size of our LB's.

One thing I will disagree with here is getting to Mccoy. Utah didnt get to Max Hall once. BYU also ran for over 200 yards and now it looks like Utah will be without its D-coordinator for the game with Anderson very close to accepting the Utah State job.

While we're at it, let's keep whole nother out of our board vocab! (It was listed in my pet peeves so the board is well aware of my proclivities on this topic!)
