yeah 'dr.' hill...you want to avoid playing us and throw these bogus dates at me when you know we already have games scheduled...let me show you how we do things in provo."

"hey, [ESPN VP guy], so we had HUGE showings in vegas for 4-5 straight seasons...great games vs P12 teams...we'd love to go back. any way you could hook us up with a slot there?"

"oh, wait, i thought we were gonna slide you into the hawaii bowl for 2015...assuming you don't make NY6 of CFP of course."

"ha ha...that's true, but, you see [name] if i can candidly say, off the record (and not in an email cuz i'm not a moron), our #1 rival is trying to avoid playing us and throw me under the bus...given utah's track record they are good for 6-8 wins next year which would put them at a prime spot to go to LV...why not just slide us in there so we can renew the Holy War in Sin City."

"brilliant Tom...i like it! so as long as Utah can get in a bowl game this year we'll pit them against you guys...if they don't you can slide into the hawaii bowl and enjoy prime vacation."

"awesome [name] thanks."

"oh...hey tom...what's your deal with utah again? when do you not play them next?"

"oh...2019 for now."

"sweet...we'll do the deal to give you two chances to play them...2015 and 2019...ha ha, and they thought they were being coy and smart...who do they think they're dealing with?"

"exactly...thanks, [name] sounds great...i'll announce it on byutv in about a week."

"cool beans tom...thanks."
