POLL: Prediction and perspective about BYU’s Alamo Bowl game:

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

9:33am

You have multiple different variables here

NGB

9:41am

FYI you can’t be a BYU fan and cheer for Boise in the playoffs. One or the other.

TCuz Coastal Elite

9:29am

I'm cheering for Boise

benny1982

9:30am

I did not know there were playing each other.

Big Daddy D

9:30am

This is only true about Utah.

JimmerEatWorld

9:31am

No, it’s also true about Boise. See here:

TCuz

9:31am

Boise should have been invited to the Big 12! Consistent winner, national brand.

pinolero

9:33am

Let me guess: you’re from Idaho. No thanks. NEXT.

TCuz

9:34am

You're right we don't want good football teams in the Big 12.

pinolero

9:38am

Idaho is a G5 state. It brings nothing to the Big 12 or really the rest of the country.

TCuz

9:41am

What we don’t want is a small market team with a 30K seat stadium.

NorCal_Coug

9:44am

Do you even know anything about Boise St? They weren’t even on the list.

chitownboy

9:41am

Disagree with this. I want Penn State to lose more than I want Boise to lose.

Jwine21

9:33am

Then you aren’t a BYU fan.

TCuz

9:34am

Then you're a fan of Sandusky. I can make blanket statements too.

Jwine21

9:40am

You’ll find me cheering for Sandusky U over the trailer park trash on Boise. WE ARE.

TCuz

9:44am

I am a little ambivalent about Boise State

Courtimedes

9:43am

I have no emotion toward Boise.

CougieMcCougFace

9:34am

I’ll take your “information”….

Yukon

9:34am

You can’t understand football and cheer for Boise. They require football

bluecougar1985

9:38am

Most people rooting for BSU are in Idaho anyway and BYU would be better off just cutting the dead weight. Just go full

shimmy

9:41am

Yes. It’s like when your mom starts posting on Facebook about the local Little League team heading to Williamsport

TCuz

9:42am

I would rather see Alabama make the playoff as an 0-12 team than Boise State

DKN

9:41am

False. We should be cheering for BSU and ASU to win and the Bills to lose

Stucoug83

9:44am

And tell the board what state you’re from!

TCuz

9:45am

BYU fans that harbor ill will towards Boise are jealous and petty

In the podcast about Mel Farr and the Holiday Bowl, did they mention that there’s a movement afoot to make a new movie

That may be true, but home field advantage in CFP is MASSIVE. And most of these blue chip teams have had precious few

I didn’t watch any CFP 1st round this weekend. So all 4 games were blowouts? Excellent.

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

8:30am

Texas/Clemson was not that much of a blowout.

CougieMcCougFace

8:37am

14 points is not all that close. I personally wouldn’t call that “making it a game” but to each his own.

Yllage Vidiot

8:40am

It was also more of a blowout than the score suggests. It was never in doubt.

bluecougar1985

8:42am

2 score game, 1 score game in the 4th quarter

CougieMcCougFace

8:42am

If you say so. Overall though the slate of first round games sounds like home team, higher seed domination.

Yllage Vidiot

8:46am

They had it within 1 score in the 4th QTR and were a yard away from

CougieMcCougFace

8:53am

It was a one score game for 3 plays

molodyets

9:01am

Which suggests it was less of a blowout than the others.

CougieMcCougFace

9:09am

You’ve made your point. So the closest of the 4 games was not really all that close. Got it.

Yllage Vidiot

9:14am

Sure. So what is in between a close game which this is not & a full on blowout?

CougieMcCougFace

9:28am

A game that wasn’t worth watching for someone who couldn’t care less about either team?

Yllage Vidiot
