    Utah could lose the game and that would certainly suck. BYU is no so much worse that an upset couldn't happen, but it would be an upset if BYU won. I'm not scared of BYU, nor are other Ute fans.
    Scared is exactly right.

    Utah doesn't want to play BYU, just in case. You have fans lobbying for the Cactus bowl or a game the day after Christmas in El Paso. I know none of this matters to you as you won't attend either way. But for fans that do like to attend sporting events, Vegas Bowl is the most easily accessible bowl game.

    I also know for a fact that Whit doesn't want Vegas bowl because his team is banged up and he wants the extra week to rest, again scared.

      Well then, in that case since they have a new rival, utes everywhere will suddenly stop going crazy to make some angry comment on every single story anywhere on the internet that even remotely mentions BYU.

      Uh yeah, don't hold your breath.

        That is exactly what makes your fanbase look ridiculous right now. There should be zero reason to be scared of a BYU matchup.

          I have heard one reason that even makes a little bit of sense from Ute fans. After a 9-3 season, they feel like they deserve higher tier bowl game. Unfortunately none of the higher tier bowls want them.

                        I would love for Utah to end up in the Cactus bowl against Nebraska if they don't go to Vegas.

                              Have you not seen the 50 year break down of Nebraska history from PBW?
