        Sorry SDSU that your conference's anchor bowl didn't sign an exclusive deal with the MWC. I guess they're just not that in to you.

            Even better is that the Poinsettia Bowl passed on the Aztecs in favor of Boise State.

              After having lived in San Diego for 3 years I can truly say that I had no idea anyone cared that much. Football at least. They do get into basketball.

                Double groin kick!

                That was probably BYU's fault too.

                      So the Pac12 renegotiated their Las Vegas ticket allotment from 11,000 to 7,500. Oops.

                        That pretty much guarantees a Utah win. The only times BYU has won recently is when they were favored by 7 or more, iirc.

                          LOL... Utah is the red headed step-child of the PAC whatever:

                          Utah fans will also likely find themselves outnumbered at Sam Boyd Stadium. BYU accepted its invite last week, and the bowl had sold a "majority" of its non-allotted tickets by Sunday afternoon, said executive director John Saccenti. Utah also has a lesser ticket allotment — 7,500 to BYU's 11,000 — because the Pac-12 negotiated for a reduction two years ago. Hill said he "would not be surprised" if BYU held something of a home-field advantage.
                          Saccenti said the disparity is largely due to the Pac-12's choice to reduce the allotment. "There's a lot of upset Utah fans out there ... but that's certainly not the bowl's fault."



                          Edit:

                          Utah athletic director Chris Hill told The Tribune on Sunday that anybody would have been "awfully confused" to hear 10 years ago that Utah was meeting BYU in a bowl game. Utah thought it might be selected higher in the Pac-12 order, he acknowledged, but "we're not going to act like we're whining."
                          LOL... What a whiner.

                            No whining, but you did try to maximize passive aggressiveness in your bowl acceptance statement that doesn't even mention BYU by name.

                              Now he knows -- Washington State is preferable to Utah.
                              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
