...it's funny that one of the chumps on that message board link noted that BYU beat UAB to get to #1... funny, I remember that one differently... surprised to see we are overall 1-3 against them in bball - just didn't know we had played them four times over the years... most likely in tourneys, I guess...

...I WILL say that this should be a 'personal challenge' for Coach Clark to get that elusive 'P5' pelt for the trophy case (yeah BYU is a 'P5') - and hopefully the assistants somehow get a decent gameplan together (especially on offense) - and the players get hyped in a good way.

even with all that, will be a tough one...

...on a different note, I guess kudos are in order to Ingram for snagging the highest payout bowl we could get... ...in terms of fan base travel it will be 'marginal' (looks like I will not be able to make it ), but most bowls are 'made for TV' these days anyway, and it's a primo spot for sure... if that 'next step' is to be taken, we need to do it now - at LEAST give a good account of ourselves...

Lost to them in the 1984 ncaa tourney beat them at home to prevent them from being #1 in 1988. Lost to them on the road in 1989. Lost to them in 2016 nit.

I will watch the bowl game until basketball tips off, and then I will change channels.

That’s the logical choice for me.

Please beat their ass.

if i was BYU fan , i will not be happy to play UAB because UAB is a no name school in football
A win will change that

THis is a trap game for BYU all the way, which can only help us
