i don't read too much into these bowl games. Rose Bowl or Makeup Bowl??? Seems like it'd be difficult to be inspired when you are moments away from one, then end up in the other.

Lol, why do some of you guys get tired of people like me saying that team just didn't look like it wanted to be there? Did you watch the game? Did that look like a team completely focused on the task at hand? Hell no. No disrespect to BYU, because they're a damn good football that had Oregon State pissing their gstrings. Don't get mad at me, get mad at the teams that don't put the focus and effort in. Only a person thinking like an idiot would think I'm using that as an excuse. It's not an excuse in any way shape or form. It's an opinoin of mine that looked almost like a fact last night. Saying somebody played like they didn't want to be there is no an excuse for them losing. They got beat by a better team, and probably would 8 out of 10 times. Had they played inspired, I still think BYU would have one.

Utah on a 37-7 run against Cal. Is it still too early to talk about how bad the Pac-10 is?

Mountain West is cookin' so far in these bowl games
