BYU is headed to the Las Vegas bowl on December 22nd. This is good news for all cougar fans that will be in the Vegas area. It might be good news for those of us around the country because it is going to be on ESPN. (There is still a good chance that ESPN will deny those of us traveling to the East coast the pleasure of watching the game and just put it on ESPN regional.)
Be sure to get the time right, because they list the time on their website in Pacific time. (5:00PM Pacific time). [One year I missed a bowl game because the BYU site listed it in Eastern time because it was being played in Memphis, but I thought they were listing it in Mountain time.]
No word yet on who they are playing. It is likely someone from the PAC-10.

Nice to see another person blogging about BYU sports. Take a look at the blog I just started on BYU sports http://www.crashutah.com/byu
I’m still working on the site, but I’d love to cross post with your site.
