Poinsettia Bowl - possible matchups

We most likely will be playing the conference champ if we don't make it to a BCS invite.

I actually think this is a better venue than last year (love yhe weather and setting) and would love to play some of our old foes and remind them who ruled the roost back in the day.



Possible opponents could be BSU (rematch from earlier game in season) or AF, SDSU, NV, CSU.

Doesn't they champ go to LV? then we would get the 2nd place team.

Yes, LV Bowl gets MWC #1. Poinsettia would be #2 at best.



Probably expect to see SDSU. Bronco vs. Rocky. In SD.

At least BYU would have the home field crowd advantage.

This bowl has a success at making money - good location, and good following/attendance by BYU fans. If SDSU, it most likely will be a sell out. Interesting match-up of Rocky vs Bronco (sounds like a WWF or boxing match).

After the last round of realignment, it could als be dubbed the Vitriol Bowl. No love lost between BYU and SDSU, that is certain. I;d love to kick their trash again.



And I would also love for local SLC radio to try to get that assoc AD on air again to defend her comments. She won;t, but I bet they try if it happens. That would be fun.

I would HATE a rematch with BSU, regardless of the outcome of the first game. NO REMATCHES. That rules out Hawaii as well.



I don't think I want to face AFA in a bowl. They have a pretty good tract record.



Nevada of Fresno would be my choice. Stick it to them for trying to spoil the move to independence.

I thought I followed that kerfuffle with the replay booth in 2010 pretty closely, but I don't remember any comments by a female assoc AD at SDSU. Whud she say? Got a link?

When SDSU was desperately trying to get into any other conference, the assoc. AD wrote emails to the Big XII about how terrible it was to be in a conference with BYU, etc.

It seems to me they did us a favor. Would you really rather be in WAC for the other sports? Especially now that the MWC and C-USA out of necessity are decimating the WAC. We landed in a better place as a result of that little revolution. Send them a Thank You card.

Great point!
