Wow... This is rich...... BYU wouldn't have had an ice-cube's chance in Hades against any of the (Legit) Top 3-5 teams going into the bowls. No one wanted to play them in a bowl because no one wanted to accept the TINY PAYOUT in the Holiday Bowl, which
BYU was CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO APPEAR IN.
Even back in 1984, it was all about the MONEY....
Now fast forward to 2008. Utah!! Yes, MIGHTY UTAH!! Who beat a SNOOZING Alabama team, playing without Andre Smith (he contracted "Agent Flu" if memory serves....), in a game NO ONE on our team wanted to play in .....
In a game that
mattered, Alabama, Florida, OU, USCw OR Texuss would probably have ROUTED them.
Utah 2008 was the "UCF 2017" of that season.
