BYU in the Vegas Bowl

Posted in Sportson Dec 7, 2007

BYU will play UCLA in the 2007 Las Vegas Bowl. BYU comes into the bowl with a 10-2 record, finishing first in the Mountain West Conference after defeating every other team in the conference. UCLA comes to the bowl with a 6-6 record, finishing 5th in the Pac-10 conference.

Interestingly, this will the the second meeting of the two teams this year. One of BYU’s two losses on the season was at UCLA when the cougars lost 17 to 27. This means that BYU will have time to revenge the loss from earlier in the season.

BYU and UCLA will meet again in the 2008 football season.

BYU will eat Oregon in Las Vegas

Posted in Sportson Dec 4, 2006

Even duck luck in Las Vegas isn’t going to keep the University of Oregon from being just another course on BYU’s dominating dinner plate this season.  While Oregon has 7 wins, they have been generally pathetic:

They beat Stanford, but so did just about everyone else.

They beat Fresno State, who couldn’t even find a winning record in the WAC.

They didn’t lose to Oklahoma in what is widely regarded as the most controversial officiating of football this year.  It really should have been Oklahoma’s game.

Oregon gains a few cents in the credible wins bank with a win over Arizona State, who did have a 7-5 overall season, but still couldn’t find a winning record in conference play.

The most impressive win maybe was over UCLA, who found Oregon at the beginning of their tough loosing streak.

A win over Portland State, a division I-AA school, hardly even counts as a win.

Oregon’s last win came a month ago over Washington, who by the way, was Stanford’s only victory on the season.

When the bowl game is finally done, Oregon is going to wish that what happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Who will BYU play in the Las Vegas Bowl

The following article is from 2006. Click here for 2007 Las Vegas Bowl information.

I’m not all knowing when it comes to football bowl games, but I do know enough to try and guess. The number 4 team from the Pac-10 will go to the Las Vegas Bowl to play BYU. It could be any of these teams: Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, and Washington State.

Tradition returned

Posted in Sportson Nov 18, 2006

Today BYU will become the Mountain West Conference football champions. All they have to do is beat New Mexico at home. To get psyched up, I went to Google Video to watch some clips. I’ve been in Oregon and haven’t seen but one game on TV and one game live, and I don’t think I fully realized just how talented of a team BYU really is. Amazing. I’ve been listening to the games from KSL.com, and I know the team is good. They are really good. Normally during the last home game of the season they present blankets or whatever to the seniors on the team after the game. This year they are honoring the seniors before the game. I think that is because they want to leave time after the game to announce the championship and the bid to the Las Vegas bowl.

While I was at Google Video, I came across some video of Men’s basketball from last year. Specifically the most amazing BYU comeback I’ve ever seen. I was there, live, in the Marriott Center. It was truly amazing. With just over a minute left, I might had even lost hope in a BYU win, but I was wrong, and I was amazed. I hate to admit it, but watching this clip (below) I almost got a little teary eyed. allergies I’m sure. Anyway, hopefully we will continue to be amazed through the winter with BYU basketball.

BYU Cougars are ranked 25th

Posted in Sportson Nov 5, 2006

The BYU football team has finally broke into an elite group of football teams with the term, “ranked.” The associated press polls which ranks the top 25 college football teams were released this morning, and BYU just barely squeezed into the 25th spot. This is after the Cougars have won the last 6 games straight and every conference game they have played.

If the Cougars win any of their next three games, then they will do no worse than at least share the conference title. If they win any two of their next three games, then they will be the conference champion outright.

At this point, a trip to the Las Vegas bowl seems like a done deal. The Las Vegas bowl gets first pick from the conference, and after a BYU sell-out crowd last year, they will certainly want to pick BYU again this year.

The final games this year are Wyoming and New Mexico at home, followed by the Holy War at Utah.
