Is that Jason Buck on Criddle right now? Respect him, but completely disagree.

If you disagree strongly it's Buck

New Mexico was a legit sellout in '06 when a MWC title was on the line

CaliWG

9/20/17 3:39pm

I don't think independence and attendance are correlated though. Attendance

And even our "sparsely" attended games draw more people. They'd

gwalker

Our worst attendance since 2003 would sell out their stadium.

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:45pm

Would they?

Brigham

The fact that Chris hill doesn't really want to expand tells me he doesn't

SUAVO

Their games against SUU and North Dakota aren't exactly

gwalker

Great being the operative word

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:44pm

P5 conference...bad argument

BYUSwoop

9/20/17 7:30pm

That was because we were 9-2 and fun to watch

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:43pm

BYU was also 8-2 that season, and beat a highly ranked TCU team.

Sid Vicious

9/20/17 3:43pm

BYU lost to Arizona & BC to start 2006, as Indy that season would've been over

CaliWG

9/20/17 3:53pm

I highly doubt that it was the conference title that made them play hard the rest of the year...

jaromp

9/20/17 4:03pm

They are some of the best seasons because of the momentum from winning streaks

SUAVO

9/20/17 4:05pm

Did the fans storm the field vs UNM because of the winning streak?

CaliWG

9/20/17 4:08pm

Ya, storming the field is a great indication of program excitement

SUAVO

9/20/17 4:56pm

Uh, yeah, they are. You don't see many "un excited" fans storm the field.

Ktar

9/20/17 7:10pm

Plenty of crappy programs upset a team and storm the field. It's an indication

SUAVO

9/20/17 7:27pm

Good point, I agree.

Ktar

9/20/17 8:23pm

But storming the field vs UNM wasn't about one win, it was about a conf title

CaliWG

9/21/17 1:23am

Those seasons were over regardless at that time anyway. MCW conference

BYUSwoop

9/20/17 7:32pm

You believe BYU got better because they were playing for a MWC title?

Gentleman Stan

9/21/17 12:51am

I'm saying fans remained engaged because there was a conf title to play for

CaliWG

9/21/17 1:19am

We were finally good after years of suck. Nationally relevant again.

panguitch

9/20/17 7:29pm

2006? The year we went 11-2 and were ranked? Had TCU and Utah in the conference?

PJMort

9/20/17 3:48pm

You mean 8-5 Utah? Or #25 TCU? Those weren't the same TCU & Utah teams as '08-10

CaliWG

9/20/17 4:08pm

Yes I mean UTAH and TCU. Does it really matter that Utah went 8-5?

PJMort

9/20/17 4:27pm

He's talkin out his butt, I'm convinced. Doesn't care about BYU's success 1 iota

mantis mutu

9/20/17 3:40pm

Plus I think it would hurt recruiting

fan_byu

9/20/17 3:40pm

Recruiting has been worse since we left the MWC.

Turbine

9/20/17 3:48pm

Since Utah started recruiting against us with a P5 label you mean

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:53pm

BYU doesn't go head to head with Utah near enough to make the difference.

Turbine

9/20/17 3:54pm

Do you follow recruiting...we go head to head for most Poly recruits.

BYUSwoop

9/20/17 7:34pm

It's not utah hurting you

BigT801

9/20/17 4:06pm

Maybe so. But still a function of Utah going to P12 IMO.

jkccoug

9/20/17 5:17pm

I think it is though! I don't have time

BigT801

9/20/17 6:33pm

No I agree with you. Its common for teams to recruit harder in their conference

jkccoug

9/20/17 7:16pm

Gotcha

BigT801

9/20/17 8:57pm

The whole NY6 thing might be in question anyway. If in 2025 when the P5

I've seen the "just win" mantra on CB since Indy was announced...

Zach Morris

9/20/17 3:45pm

BYU has some of the most unbalanced schedules in CF. So hard to "just win".

Turbine

9/20/17 3:49pm

Exactly. BYU's version of independence is a recipe for

Also struggling to get garbage P5 wins (AZ, MSU, MSU etc)

Cougstreak

Same mantra at every team. Hopefully BYU figures it out.

I think he's dead wrong. Living in the past. Uncle Rico to a T.

He has turned to the Yewt side. Wore UofU gear to the Rivavly game.

BYUtka

Seriously? I don't want to believe that about anyone I have respect for.

panguitch

9/20/17 5:46pm

That is what was reported. I didn't personally see it.

BYUtka

9/20/17 5:53pm

I saw him. Just liked like a grey shirt. No byu or utah stuff

SUAVO

9/20/17 6:45pm

He stood 20 feet from our seats most of the game. No Ute gear that I could see

BYU football has made it clear that independence > G5. That position minimizes

MaxxPower

9/20/17 4:53pm

NO NO NO NO never go back to a G5 conference.....

Agree! G5ers are non-Cougs at heart
