BYU, Utah bowling tonight & tomorrow

One of the major problems with the Mountain West's bowl lineup is that most of the games are played before Christmas. The upside to that is that you've got something to watch on TV instead of those creepy clay-mation Rudolph and Abominable Snowman specials they've been running since before you were born. With Wyoming's double-OT victory over Fresno State in the New Mexico Bowl this past weekend, the conference is 1-0 this bowl season with a chance to push that to 3-0 in the next two days.
First up is #14 BYU playing in their fifth-consecutive Las Vegas Bowl (they're 2-2 in those games so far) tonight on ESPN against #18 Oregon State, who you might remember came within four points of winning the Pac 10 and going to the Rose Bowl. And since the Frogs are rumored to be kicking off the 2010 season against OSU, this will be your last chance to see the Rodgers brothers and the rest of the Beavers until then.

Then tomorrow night, also on ESPN, will be #23 Utah taking on California (oh I see, Poinsettia Bowl, now you get a Pac 10 team). The Utes have won an incredible nine straight bowl games, which means one of two things: they are either A) completely unstoppable in bowl games, or B) due for a loss.

This is the only time I can really root for BYU. Bronco is a smug assbag in my opinion, unlike his rival counterpart Whittingham at Utah. In truth I really respect Utah's program and rise. Anyhow go Courgars and Utes
