Bowls are just exhibition games, just like every independence game.

Sure, I’d like better bowl games too and the older traditional bowls are special, but most bowl games are highly overrated.

He’s right. In the grand scheme it’s the best they’ve done in a P5.

Yup, this is their ceiling. They had better enjoy it.

Our ceiling is the Hawaii bowl or similar pre-Christmas bowl.

Um.....no

Please tell me then what our ceiling is in independence? Because we don’t even

Let’s not forget the potato bowl is on January 3rd...

Yeah I noticed they threw a lot of the crappier bowls after New Years this year.

I recall playing Texas three times. And winning two of them. Made possible

Talking about end of the season bowls, I’m actually pro Indy unless/until there’

Thank you, but keep it in context, Were talking about end on the season ceiling

At least Utah fans good side

BYU '80

And if they lose, we can always hold that over their heads

I would love to have the season Utah just had.

Except i would actually like to beat USC.

They’re playing a barely bowl eligible, unranked team, in that team’s backyard.

Yes, Utah kind of got hosed. Holiday Bowl against Iowa would have been better.

califcougar

12/8/19 7:50pm

To be fair though, Texas will probably be ranked top 10 starting next year.

touchdownbyu

12/8/19 9:25pm

That game versus Texas is a net loss for them. Win and congrats, you beat a meh 7-5 Texas team. Lose and it confirms

Pimpin4Paradise

12/8/19 4:36pm

You would beat a 7-6 Texas team. Even more meh.

ochobeeguy

12/8/19 6:27pm

If they beat Texas, it solidifies the U as a top 10 team. If they lose, they

12/8/19 8:19pm

Yeah.....Utah is gonna struggle next year.

rggee

12/8/19 8:24pm

The U?

Coug-Ida

12/8/19 8:45pm

I think maybe you’re not correct here...

CoachSpeak

12/8/19 8:47pm

I do not think anyone from Utah is clamoring to be in the playoff. They lost

cwilke1

12/8/19 8:21pm

They aren’t a top 10 team...

CoachSpeak

12/8/19 8:48pm

my mistake - should have researched and put a "Top 11" team for more accuracy.

cwilke1

12/8/19 9:17pm

That’s a turd I’d love for the Cougs right now.

12/8/19 4:36pm

No missing the playoff is one thing, missing the NY6 is disappointing for them

USMCdad

12/8/19 4:36pm

Their goal was to win the conference championship.

Everyman

12/8/19 4:40pm

Exactly, as good as the season was, it’s a disappointment for them

USMCdad

12/8/19 4:41pm

It's ALL spin and trying to put on a brave face for the world

Michael McQuain

12/8/19 4:41pm

Plus they lost the PAC-12 title again

SaintGeorgeYFan

12/8/19 6:52pm

I'd like to know how it could be worse? What would be worse for them that

SUAVO

12/8/19 4:42pm

They could have lost to Washington and not even been in the champ game.

rggee

12/8/19 4:43pm

He's talking about bowl possibilities after the Oregon loss. Not the season

SUAVO

12/8/19 4:47pm

I took his tweet as talking about the season

Cougs'16

12/8/19 5:01pm

I think the Holiday bowl would be better than the Alamo bowl. The holiday bowl

SUAVO

He's not wrong

Neither are his breathalyzers

Lame. We don't need to go that low

As low as getting 4 DUIs and putting countless lives in danger?

I'm not excusing his behavior but it doesn't mean we have to be jerks.

runnincoug

12/8/19 6:58pm

So it’s ok to attack a BYU fan

vegas guey

12/8/19 7:53pm

Sorry if I offended. But I don't believe staying silent is the right option

runnincoug

12/8/19 10:33pm

Tossing insults does not equal standing up for righteousness

vegas guey

12/9/19 2:38pm

I don't believe we are ever in the right for casting stones at another

runnincoug

12/9/19 3:02pm

I didn't think he was talking about the season as a whole. Sounds like he's

SUAVO

12/8/19 5:19pm

Now we just have to hope texas comes to play.

Heath Squashwell

12/8/19 5:32pm

Exactly. Unfortunately I doubt Texas is hyped to play a brand like Utah!

If Utah would

All things considered, I wish we were playing in the Alamo Bowl.
