Not possible. The only conference with good, loyal fans is the SEC. All other conferences shouldn't even have fans.
Mormons on Bourbon St. That will be an interesting tailgate party.
DFW has a great point... the mix of Mormons and rabid Bama' fans will be The Story of this bowl since the game itself will be anything but close. Can't the Slow-10 go to New Orleans to play Utah and have the Crimson Tide come out West to play for the roses?
Wolf's Journalism 101 - Half truths to take a dig at someone or something are always good writing. Case in point, while early sales were brisk, Utah has not sold out their allotment, more than 5,000 tickets remain.
Here's what a real writer has to say:

Bowl execs say a playoff would make their bowls irrelevant. Well guess what, they're irrelevant now, a playoff would make them relevant again. If this were a playoff game, Utah and Ohio State (I know they're in the fiesta but they're not selling their tickets either) would sell out. This does not even factor in general college football fans who would suddenly care a lot about this game, the fiesta, rose, etc.
Imagine my surprise when the my luau at the Polynesian Culture Center in Oahu did not serve Blue Hawaiians or Maitais. The reason? The PCC is operated by the LDS and most of the staff attends BYU-Hawaii. Oh, also none of the soft drinks or coffee contained caffeine at the concessions. Party on Utes!
T&T, LMAO. I made that mistake once too. There were skid marks in the parking lot when I left.
Can't blame you DD.
The LDS does a great job running the place, I just wish the Event Planner would have disclosed the caffeine and alcohol bans upfront. I get a headache midday without my Diet Coke or ice tea. Luckily we went to a stand alone Luau later on where the adult beverages were flowing. I also suspect some of the female talent wore too much clothing during some of the dance shows at the PCC. Mahalo for nothing!
