Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I think that line goes up by the time we kick off - 7 points or more will be my guess. Arizona isn't going to play as bad as it did on Friday and my guess is they can't wait to get out there and show the world that this isn't the same team.

Boise isn't playing an Oklahoma team that didn't want to be there because they wanted to be in the championship game. They get an Arizona team that is thrilled to be there and will play like it. Getting guys healthy will also be a very big deal especially Anu and Cayleb Jones and our entire D.

Haven't watched Boise St. at all, except for about half of their game last night, so until I do some reading I've no idea who good they are or what to expect from them.

Really excited that AZ got into this game though, and think a win would be HUGE for us going forward.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

If we win we finish the season top 10.
If we lose we might finish out of the top 20.

So yeah, definitely a HUGE game for the future of the program.

Every time I try to watch Boise St that blue field gives me a headache and I have to turn it off.

26 days for Anu's ankle to heal from Friday's game to December 31st, 3 1/2 weeks...how much he recovers in that time makes or breaks it for us.

Went over to the Boise State board and invited them over here. Hopefully we can have a civil conversation with their fans. Btw, they did kick asu's a$$ in the Vegas Bowl a few years ago. :)

Such a bummer that I won't be floating through Arizona to catch this game. :( Would definitely fork over the dough for this one.

For those of you who watch Cardinals game, the field always looks fantastic, almost like it's illuminated, and it's that much better in person. Whoever attends is in for a treat. Best stadium I've ever attended.

OK...yes, BSU is not that good. Honestly, from a fans perspective, I am just happy to be playing on the big stage, and hope we can keep it within 30. Seriously. I have made it to both Fiesta Bowls previously (2007/2010) and it was essentially the same way there too.

I hope it's a fun atmosphere like ti was then. Great experience as a fan.

I am glade to be facing Boise State. I like when Arizona faces a team that they never play. I hated the BYU and Okie Doke bowls and non-conference games.

I was hoping like hell they wouldn't be sent to Texas. I've wondered why AZ and Boise State have never matched up and now we'll get it. Boise has a stud RB, so our guys better be ready to do some tackling.

There should be a lot of fans from both teams as Boise State travels well. I think I am going to take my chances and buy from a scalper instead of buying online.

Its been a while since 2 fan bases have fully took over that stadium. Possibly the Oregon auburn game was the last. Until now.

I will be Bearing Down and representing the A in Boise every day from here to kick off. Was out and about today malling, shopping, drinking and saw plenty of BSU gear. No recognition of the opponent yet. They're just happy to be back in the Fiesta again.

I expect a convincing win. I really want scoreboard inn this one!

Scummy Dick is an ASU fan, so his prediction was meant to be a jinx. I don't think any sane UA fan expects to run up anyone given the number of close games we've played this year.

If Anu is close to a 100% I expect a blowout. Boise State has played one ranked team in Ole Miss and lost big and lost to Air Force. If we lose this game we will drop like rocks and lose a lot of momentum going into next year (It'll hurt recruiting.)

Their Air Force loss was a anomaly. They out played them significantly but turned the ball over 7 times.

I was shocked BSU didn't throttle Fresno St. on Saturday. I mean, Fresno St. is bad -- Colorado-would kill-them-bad. (I could just still be pissed because I had BSU on a 3-team parlay where the other two had already come in.) I think the Cats are at least two touchdowns better...

Oh, and the blue field should totally be outlawed.

ESPN's bowl preview. Reece, Pollack and the black guy (I don't know who he is) have our back. Pollack understands what happened in Championship game. Kanell doesn't think we'll be prepared and will overlook BSU, and Drooling Lou thinks we lack leadership because we played 3 QBs in the Oregon game.

Yeah, I saw that live. Lou apparently didn't know Anu had an injury so said stuff that was only slightly less ridiculous than Kanell. I have no idea where Kanell gets his ideas from.
