Bowl game projections

[Rick]

Just saw some bowl game projections for the Utes and there were three very intriguing matchups:

Utah vs. Virginia in the Sun Bowl

Utah vs, Tator Zoobs in the Vegas Bowl

Utah vs. Utah State in the Cactus Bowl

Hmm. Can’t stand the Tater Zoobs.

[iamthepreacher]

Gotta win this weekend, or we’ll be staying home this bowl season.

[Rick]

I think we can beat the Buffs but they will be be a tough get.

Prefer the Aggies honestly.  Donko is the least appealing. Boise st wouldn’t be that bad I guess.

Of those options I like Utah State too. At least we could confirm supremacy in the state. Although I don’t really have anything against the Aggies, so I’d hate to see them lose as badly as they would to Utah.

From a national perspective, Virginia would be the better opponent. I’m sure Kyle would be unimpressed to be matched up against Donko again, however.

Boise St? Meh.

[EagleMountainUte]

TV would prefer the Roscoe Vs Whillingham matchup. Just makes it easy to garner interest I think. 

[Utah5410]

I think we get to 6. But honestly Buffs will be fighting for a bowl game. This sat is critical.

Just as soon not face Boise State.  For decades now (going back to 1980 when they kicked our ass 28-7 back when they were in the Big Sky) they just don’t seem to be a good matchup for us.

I think Virgina would be interesting, wouldn’t everyone love to see Bronco’s bewildered scowl again? But El Paso isn’t the most appealing location for fans.

I respect Utah State, and wouldn’t mind playing them, although the day after Christmas isn’t too appealing to fans.

Boise State. Gross. But Vegas I think our fans after moaning about it for a week or two would show up.  Hopefully Kyle can finally fry some spuds.

But, when you’re 6-6, or maybe 7-5, you go to the dance to whoever says yes.

does donko still scowl? I thought leaving tds would have cured his affliction.

I’d love playing our little brothers from Logan

[KiYi-Ute]

Boise isn’t even a state. 

[CincyUte]

Boise is a state of mind.

[ironman1315]

How different is it from a New York State of Mind?

[PlainsUte]

Slower and more starchy?

[FtheY]

If we can get to a bowl game, I will take it. That’s priority number one. 

Outside of that, Virginia would be cool, even if it is Bronco. It would be a different conference and new look for us. 

Utah State would be fine. I like the Aggies but would prefer a non in-state school. Been there, done that. If only there were 5 quarters, blah, blah, blah. 

I used to hate the tater zoobs, but have backed off of them a bit. Still my last choice though. 

[FtheY]

Especially since we already played them in a bowl game several years back. 

[THEeyepatch]

Where did you see the Cactus Bowl prediction? That’s a Big XII v. Pac-12 matchup? My prediction would be Utah v. Iowa State (Cactus) but Kansas State and Texas could fall into that bowl as well? 

[rbmw263]

We would smoke the absolute s**t out of the aggies 

[rbmw263]

I would love to play boise honestly. I believe that’s a game we would win and it would feel nice to get one over that lovely fanbase
