It would be nice to see a win at a BCS stadium (besides Ga Tech).

EDIT: wait, we lost AT Ga tech, won at home.

I dont know if I have ever seen a win at a BCS stadium yet.
Cal and Mississippi State in 2001.

Since then wins over BCS program have been:

2002
Syracuse - Home
2003
Georgia Tech - Home
2004
Notre Dame - Home
2006
Oregon - LV Bowl
2007
Arizona - Home
UCLA - LV Bowl

I say there is a pattern under Mendenhall.

2005 - Lose two games to BCS teams 0-2
2006 - Beat first BCS team in Bowl Game 1-2 1-4 total
2007 - Beat BCS team at home and continue bowl win streak 2-1 3-5 total
2008 - Beat first BCS team on road, continue home and Bowl streak 3-0 6-5 total!

DO YOU BELIEVE?

Unfortunately, I was not at either of those games, but thanks for the reminder. I think I am a bad luck charm, actually.

That being said, I will be there in Seattle.

I BELIEVE!

Hey, I will be there too. Where are you guys getting your tickets. We bought 20 from UW on the thought they will be better than what BYU gets.

We have a few extra.

I have vowed to never pre-purchase through BYU again....crappy visitor section seats and usually overpriced.

The good thing about traveling to BYU games....we are usually the other team's non-marquee game, so the tickets are pretty affordable.

The visitor section at UW is especially awful.....about 50 yards or more (not kidding) behind the endzone because of that ridiculous track.

Check out this pic. That is where BYU will be sitting. I am just going to buy sidelines when I get there.

If you buy two tickets, I will get you two hot dogs and charge them to my brother. I think he has the 8 extra up for sale over on Cougarboard.

I am pretty sure they are sideline seats, but I am going to recheck.
