Serious question from a Ute Fan...

Because we are not bandwagon fans

*Because we aren't a bandwagon fanbase.

Because we are fans is the easy/obvious answer.

bc unless you're in the playoff, who really cares about bowls?

Ive been attending Utah games since the early 1990's.

Then you should already know the answer to the question you asked.

You should pose this question to the 15K that sat in Rice Stadium

If BYU were 5-0 they might have those (nearly) same big options.

I agree with you.

When a team gets on a good roll, undefeated or one loss

It is probably hard for one whose fandom

Because its BYU football and there is still plenty that keeps my interest.

If the teams positions were reversed, would you not care about yewtah anymore?

I would love the Utes. I would just be extremely frustrated that Independent
sigepute

Unless it is the playoff, why does the name of the bowl even matter?
JamesWestfall
10/4/15 8:27pm
I just like that each game still matters for Utah. Even if BYU loses to Wagner
sigepute
10/4/15 8:34pm
Each game matters for BYU, I think that's what you don't understand
cougarnerd
10/4/15 8:35pm
"Matters" vs "has an impact on post season play" is a different definition
sigepute
10/4/15 8:42pm
You are starting to change your words and grasp at straws

That's like saying the conference doesn't matter. It could be the SEC or the WAC

It's not like saying a conference doesn't matter at all. That's a terrible

Is a bowl why you watch? Marketers have dreams about chumps like you.
Ragnar Danneskjold

Yup. I'll probably watch the Rose Bowl this year no matter who is playing
sigepute
10/4/15 8:51pm
College football is all about playing for consolation games
Remigius
10/4/15 8:22pm
But you can't tell me that you'd be as excited to watch the New Mexico bowl

Fine, you talked me into it. Time to go back to the WAC and the Holiday every yr
Left Shark Coug
10/4/15 8:27pm
But don't you think you'd have a better path to a New Year's day bowl game if
sigepute
10/4/15 8:29pm
No, if we're being stupid, the WAC it is.
Left Shark Coug
10/4/15 8:32pm
It is really all the same to me
Remigius
10/4/15 8:37pm
This is a great point. Independence offers multiple bowl games essentially.

Yep, even when I make lame-yewt attempts to troll.

Not meaning to troll, just asking a question. Also I love Buc-ee's (your avatar)

Ok. You got me. You mentioned bucees, so you definitely have to be a good guy.

Again, another thoughtful and honest response. Nicely done. I respect that.

question back at ya: how did a ute fan survive the WAC and MWC?

Youre right. It's still very early in the season. I don't think any true Ute fan

The biggest sporting event (by far) in the state of Utah serves as great, great

But Utah was able to schedule Michigan this year instead of BYU...I think most

I don't think anyone is saying Indy options over Power 5
JohnnyComeLately
10/4/15 9:18pm
I think MWC over Indy is a better route for BYU
sigepute
10/4/15 9:20pm
The schedules they have now will get them into the playoff in a special season
JamesWestfall
10/4/15 9:22pm
But you still have to go virtually undefeated. If you join the MWC you simply

10/4/15 9:25pm
The MWC is fine if NY6 is your goal. It's not the goal for my team.
JamesWestfall

If our goal was just to get an easier payout you are right

10/4/15 10:56pm
We did the MWC, going back would be a mistake.
