Playing Memphis is part of the problem

Add to it location and cost of getting there add to it the roller coaster season of highs and lows not to mention abysmal home schedule. In the MWC days we went to every Vegas bowl game, I'd rather play a mid tier pac 12 team or other P5 name than an AAC opponent.

Problem is that CSU is still in the MWC and playing a mid/lower level pac12 team

We should make it mean something. Winner gets BIG12 invite.

The BYU team has to step it up to get fans excited about BYU football again

So, losing last year was a success? Never mind, I do remember Bronco saying so.

12/16/14 6:48pm

Crappy bowls and opponents have contributed more to the fatigue

Crappy bowls against crappy opponents. That's what fans don't care about.

Do you realize how bad you have to be to NOT goto a bowl game?

Don't lift the hood on the "winning seasons, bowl streak" stuff
