poinsettia-bowl Stories - Block U
2009's season is over. Was it as good for you as it was for me?
I've been pretty open about how I felt this season was disappointing and that we needed a bowl game to really make it something impressive. I don't think I was off base with that feeling - certainly when you realize just how few actual good wins the Utes had. I mean, our best regular season...
OMG it's game day!
Took forever, didn't it? But we're only a few hours away from the last game of the season. So, that means you better soak it all up because football ends around 9:30 tonight and won't return for a very, very long time. Because of that, this better be a damn good game or it's going to be difficult...
Cal Golden What?

Cal running back Best out for Poinsettia Bowl
Not that I'm surprised by this news. But does it change your predictions for the game? Best was, without a doubt, one of the best running backs of the season and his loss will not be easy to get over for a Cal team that struggled greatly at times on the offensive end this season. While I think Utah...
Utes say they'll stick with wildcat scheme and I die a little inside
Yeah, I'm not sold on the wildcat (or is it wild-indian, meh too un-PC), but I guess the coaches are. It's not that I don't think it can be successful, it's just the Utes seem to get too comfortable running it and it loses its effectiveness. I mean, it failed against the Cougars and really hasn't...
So, yeah, that whole expectations thing...
Okay, so yeah. There is this bowl game coming up. I don't think we're quite ready to get into the entire dynamics of it (gotta save some stuff for that week), but it's never too early to get a feel of what to expect. Unfortunately, the last two times I've asked how you were feeling prior to a game,...
Oregon State a near-lock for the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl
If Utah is going to Vegas, they won't be playing a California school. It appears Oregon State is now a near-lock for that bowl game. This might change things a bit. MAACO Bowl officials are still very interested in scheduling the Cougars because they can nearly guarantee a near-capacity crowd. The...
So, SC & Florida lose...
The Trojans fell to Arizona at home tonight. That means they are a candidate for the Vegas Bowl. However, I would not be surprised if BYU gets another Vegas Bowl bid because they're a lock to draw a sellout. Since Arizona appears to not be going to the Vegas Bowl - though that could change - there...
Final Final Pac-10 Bowl Scenarios
Here's what we know. 1) Oregon's the Pac-10 champ. Congrats to the Addicted to Quack crew.2) USC winning puts the Trojans in the Holiday and Arizona in the Poinsettia.3) Arizona winning puts the Wildcats in the Holiday.4) UCLA is on their own. Not factoring them into bowl scenarios, they'll need...
Who Goes Where? Final Pac-10 Bowl Scenarios
Remember when I projected Oregon State and Oregon as the best Rose Bowl candidates, and Arizona fans thought I was full of it because they controlled their own destiny? HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES NOW? (Okay, it came down to Masoli having the drive of his life, and I made up that part about the...
