we would legitimately have a complaint about UCLA if we had actually beaten them.

We can't say "how did we get this terrible opponent???" and then have to sheepishly admit we already lost to that terrible opponent.

Given how Bronco called games against Tulsa, TCU, and SDSU, this could very well be a loss.

btw, if UCLA fires Dorrell, that will make the game even more worthless.

Boy, this really stinks.

You guys are cracking me up. Who did you think we were going to get? Could have been Cal; they suck too. Could have been Oregon; they suck too. No matter who we get in the LV bowl it's usually going to be a Pac-10 team that has flamed out, eking their way into a crappy bowl. At least we get a chance for revenge.

I really don't see how the admin. or anyone could have prevented this. At least prevented it as things are presently.

That being said, tickets in the BYU section are being sold by BYU for a $25 buck premium, $75. I am all for capitalism and if the demand is there, I say charge what you can get. Just don't give me all this crap about BYU is a different place, it is about the money there too.

I am trying to decide whether I am going to this game. If I go, the only reason will be to get out of this weather for a few days. If I lived in a nice warm place, I wouldn't even be giving a thought to going to this game.

Not to mention it'll give you the chance to hit the links at some pretty nice courses down there.

If I head down early, I'll probably end up hitting a course or two as well.

Even though I'm about the worst Golfer on the planet and I need a new driver, cause my brother dented it.

I think we all knew what we were in for. It's just the reality of the situation that is now sinking in.
