Las Vegas Bowl: Oregon Ducks @ BYU

So, how many forumers are going to make the trek to Vegas for the game? It will be nice to see a sell-out crowd Sam Boyd. Any predictions for what will basically be a home game for BYU?

Oregon usually travels well to games like this... I would imagine that 2/3 of the fans will be BYUers which leaves a good at least 15,000 Oregonians.

...as for attending. It would have crossed my mind if the game wasn't already sold out before the teams were announced.

I dont support scalpers charging $1000+ for a $100 ticket (even the cheap $20 seats are now going for $150+ on eBay.

I dont mind watching games from the comfort of my own couch anyway

I think i read somewhere in the paper here that the tickets were already sold out and only the teams have tickets to spare. The crowd will most definitely be all byu fans...cougars looove las vegas. which is weird considering what las vegas is all about and that byu=mormons but hey

this game is guaranteed a sellout.. BYU sold it's alloted amount very quickly and public tickets were gone in an instant.. they even added 4100 temp seats that BYU fans snatched up.. Oregon still has 12000 seats and whatever they don't sell, BYU fans will take..

BYU 38 Oregon 27

BYU should win easily since the ducks always talk (or quack) but can't actually play.

The ducks suck in that game, they didn't even put up a fight. The game would of been alot more better if the ducks could of score so more other then just 8 points.

Oh well good game for BYU.

Man.... the Ducks didn't even show up for the game!

The Cougars had a 12:30 curfew and they were at the Golden Nugget, but the Ducks stayed right on the strip. Who wants to bet they were all hung over for the game?

Freakin ducks! They probably did party on the strip all night, knowing oregon athletics. I don't think it would've mattered anyways, BYU wanted this more and they are way more disciplined than the ducks. Even tho i despise BYU in general, they kicked oregons trash. Good job cougs!

...does this bitterness towards BYU have anything to do with a certain Utah loss?

hehe

Those words are a sign of fear. You can hate the Cougars all you want, but this year is just a taste of things to come. Your football and basketball teams are both headed downhill while BYU's are headed up. It tells you something about Ute fans when the season is defined by beating BYU.

And another thing. Why does BYU have more fans in a bad season than Utah does when they win? Good thing REAL SLC plays in your stadium so your stadium is put to some good use other than when BYU comes to kick your butt.

Are you retarded? You want to know why BYU has more fans in bad seasons, its because there is nothing to do in FUCKING UTAH COUNTY. This is why you have so many women on anti-depressants, men too for that matter. And I don't think the difference is much anyway. Look at BYU's basketball attendance, it sucks!!

And fear? let me reiterate my original point, 1 fucking bowl win in 10 years for BYU. The UTES have ran off 6 straight, which includes a BCS win. I couldn't fear anything out of UTAH county, even if Satan himself walk out that hell hole.
