I’m 38 and I can’t remember the last good bowl game Byu won. 1996?

yep but I did thoroughly enjoy the vegas beat down of Oregon. That was fun.

It was, but not necessarily a big bowl with any real consequences. Last good

Oh it had very real consequences between me and my in-laws in Eugene.

I loved that game but that was a long time ago! What year was that? 06?

Oregon State was ranked like 14th in the Vegas wind bowl in 2009.

Yeah I was there. Still the Vegas bowl though

I blew thru Vegas for that one. Fun game.

Cotton Bowl baby - beat a good KState team too. That team was legit

We've beaten a few ranked teams in bowls.

The accomplishments BYU had in the old WAC will probably never be duplicated.

True. I’m more just saying it shouldn’t be surprising young fans cheer for Utah.

Only if they're shallow band wagon fans.

Young fans ARE shallow and band wagonish. I know. I once was a Cowboys fan.

I disagree. The 1980 Holiday Bowl was against SMU. We had a scrappy aggressive

I left the Miracle Bowl at halftime. One of my claims to fame.

Ouch! We stayed to the end only because we were chaperoning a bunch of boy scouts and

We will see if the administration wants to go all in or not

I'll save you some time. BYU will never go "all in" on intercollegiate sports.

They don't need to be tops in the arms race, but they can't cut corners

Most of your life, BYU has essentially been locked out of better bowls.

Boise St. & Utah both won NY6 bowls in the MWC…

Bad bowl games were the tradeoff of the Independence era.

Good post. You're right. Football is a "What have you done lately" business. And

You root for both. BYU is the face of the church and an excellent program...that stands for something. Utah

You pull for Utah over BYU = you're not a real BYU fan. Sorry.

BYU is a just a good mid major. it’s all they have been for 35 years
