Just stay home Alabama is going to wipe "U" out. Stay home and see
Temple Square Christmans lights or watch BYU get beat by Arizona.
Nathaniel | 6:24 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Go Utes!
The Sugar will be sweet. I hope to see fellow Utes in New Orleans.

To ALL those associated with the UTAH FOOTBALL Program.

I'll bet Kyle will be getting some advice from Urban Myer on Alabama. :-)I
know Utah will be an underdog, but I was at the Emerald Bowl when they were a
huge underdog to Georgia Tech and clobbered them because GT was overlooking
them. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens with Alabama.
Go Utes.
PS
Let's show some class and not bash BYU in this thread. We do want them to beat up on Arizona to show the NWC deserves an automatic bid to these bowls. Good luck Cougars!

Utes are going to get smoked!

Pour some sugar on me baby! I love the tough test Go Utes!
Preacher | 6:30 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Congratulations to the University of Utah. They deserve to play a team like
Alabama even though they are going to get worked. I see no way Utah wins this
game of even keeps it close. At least MWC teams will get lots of money.

Utah has a small chance against Bama. They wanted a top flight opponent to
prove whether they belong or not. It will be interesting to see how they plan
to be competitive.
Good Luck | 6:31 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
After getting a cupcake (Pitt) during their first BCS trip, the Utes are now
going to get a taste of what a real opponent will deliver. Expect a blow out:
Bama 52, Utah 10.
Streak is over | 6:31 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Utah will lose to Alabama by more than 14 points. Go Cougars!
Tim | 6:31 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Before the nutjobs start the crazy comments I just want to say GL to the Utes it
should be a great game!!!
BCS Busted!!! | 6:34 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Bamas is going down!!!!
GO UTES!!!
GO UTES!!!
Ron McBride | 6:33 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
So if Utah beats Bama by a larger margin than Florida did and the Gators happen
to win a very close game against the Sooners, why wouldn't the Utes at
least be in the discussion as the national champs?
Sour Sugar | 6:34 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Alabama is going to mop up the field with the Utes. What a disappointment going
from a near spot in the national championship game to getting stuck in the Sugar
Bowl with the lowly Mountain West pretender. That's akin to the Utes
getting stuck with Pitt in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl.
First we lose to Urban Meyer and then we get stuck playing his cast offs. I guess that's what the Tide gets for losing yesterday. At least we'll cream our bowl opponent.

props to Kirk Herbstreit, I usually hate that guy cause he hates on teams from
the MWC but this time he didn't.
Good luck Utah | 6:38 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
I personally think Alabama will dominate this game, but Utah has pulled off big
games before...good luck!
CO Coug | 6:38 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Wish the Cougars were playing in this bowl, but either way, good luck Utes and
good job on a great season....
Till next year.
Till next year.
Sweet match | 6:39 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
This is a dream match! So excited for Utah to go to the Sugar Bowl and play
Alabama. Go Utes!
AK Cougar | 6:39 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Congratulations to the Utes. Go make the rest of the MWC proud by winning. I
will be wathching this sugar bowl game and cheering for the Utes with my blue
shirt on.
Good for Utah | 6:39 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
I'm not a Ute fan, but good for them. I hope they do well. I really do.
It's going to be a very tough game. Beating Alabama will be very difficult,
especially on the road (playing an SEC team in Georgia is not a neutral site). I
do believe in miracle upsets (i.e., Boise State vs. Oklahoma). Here's
hoping for a great football game.
Creamed | 6:40 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
That's what the Utes will get. CREAMED!!
no way | 6:40 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
utah is gonna get crushed
crowtonlover | 6:40 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
This will be our toughest game we ever had. But I'm way stoked for it.
GO UTES

Bama Cougar | 6:41 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Roll Tide!
Mike | 6:42 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Wow!! This is exciting!!! Nothing will be more fun than to watch the Utes get
pummelled in the Sugar Bowl! This one shouldn't be close. The Utes have
yet to play a quality opponent on the road this year. Alabama is quality, and
they will beat the Utes by 30+.
Reality Check | 6:42 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Alabama is good, they have been tested and are the real deal. The Utes have NOT
been tested. The Mtn West is NOT the SEC. Bama will roll the Utes.
I see a re-run of the Hawaii game last year.

GO UTES! Play your game!
SEC ute | 6:44 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
I was there at the Florida-Alabama game, and I have been following the Utes all
season. Utah will give alabama a run. In fact I have always thought alabama
was overrated beating an over rated georgia, lsu, etc. I predict the Utes win
23-17.
You Got What You Wish For | 6:45 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Now we'll see what your really made of. I think it's a big, big
mismatch.
Wow | 6:46 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
If this were a boxing match, Utah would throw in the towell before the first
bell.
Can we pray for a huge snowstorm and Utah to become a large Glacier.
I have seen Utah win every game this season, and how they won.
This could be the Ugliest Bowl Game in the history of the NCAA.
I hope Kyle has been doing some situps because his stomache tends to sag under stress.

Let me be the first Cougar Fan to congratulate the Ute's. They were were
prepared, worked hard and they were well coached. Alabama was #1 yesterday and
now they are ranked 4th. The BCS has ruined football. It seems that we need a
NCAA college football playoff.
If the Ute's win, they should be the national champions, but this system won't allow it to happen.
This is hard, but here goes... GO UTE'S

Way to go utes!!
John | 6:47 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
As a BYU alumni, it looks like I get to be the first to congratulate the U on
doing the impossible for the second time in four years. Good luck to them and
to the conference as a whole.
Utard! | 6:46 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
overrated! overrated! overrated! overrated! overrated! overrated!
who needs boise? | 6:49 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
One more reason why the MWC is better off without Boise. Go Utes! Go Cougars!
And TCU will throttle the broncos.
BYU Fan | 6:50 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
I think Utah has a better chance at beating Alabama than many other local fans
will give them. Alabama is favored but Utah can do it. Go Utah, and represent
the conference well!
By the way, are any of the rest of you tired of 6 win teams playing in a bowl game?! I think it should be changed where you must win 7 to play in a bowl game! It means nothing to play in some of the lesser bowl games nowadays!

Southern Drawl | 6:51 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
Ya'll are just goin' to get a whoopin. If you think BYU ran all over
you, just wait. This is goin' to be fun! We already know ya'lls
offense is hit and miss, with our defense it'll be all miss.
Ya'll be sweet.
Ya'll be sweet.
Not #1? | 6:51 p.m. Dec. 7, 2008
