Bronco being Bronco. Grab your pitchforks and torches

Good thing he's learning from his mistakes.

No argument to this quote....

Bluedomination

"Being consistent" in losing to Utah and other big opponents. But that's cool

DrKennethNoisewater

11/25/15 11:55am

Heck yes, Thurday's Heros and firesides are worth a couple extra losses a year.

Bluedomination

A perfect example of non sequitur

This quote really sums Bronco up.....

Bronco has close to an overall 90% win rate against G-5 teams.

Exactly.

Bronco wins more games he that he's expected to lose than any coach in BYU

Don't over think things Bronco...it's football.

icecougar

He's wrong though he is producing very low lows yearly.

I've given up on complaining about Bronco. Ok, one more.

seems as though you have adopted the Bronco fandom approach

11/25/15 12:49pm

I honestly think Bronco loves to troll the media and fans

Such an asinine philosophy.

I don't care about philosophy as long as it results in a win. If not, hot seat.

"you run the risk of the real highs" - Bronco. Yep, no highs is our mantra.

He might be trying to avoid the "Whittingham Effect", where you focus so much

It's a snoozer. Definitely mild on the PK scale.

With all due respect, BYU's inability to have a great season and/or even win the emotional games under Bronco is proof

I think Bronco underestimates how different fans would view him if we did

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:08pm

Well, considering that you and much of Cougarboard refuse to give him credit

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:10pm

Look at what you just said there....6-2...against USU...as if it's a good thing

SouthernAZcoug

11/25/15 12:15pm

The USU of today is not the USU of the '80s and '90s. Why do people ignore this

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:22pm

Are you really questioning why people don't like going from dominating a team

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:26pm

And are you truly refusing to acknowledge that the past 5 years of USU football

BeardedSpock

all the more reason to step up your game focus and prep for this one...

icecougar

11/25/15 2:27pm

I'm confused- are you trying to make me accept us losing to the Dairy Yewts?

cheezedawg

11/25/15 4:34pm

Yeah, USU today is on the level of Utah in the 90s

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:29pm

Um, BYU went 5-5 vs. the Utes during the 1990s. So BYU should only beat them

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:30pm

I'm agreeing with your point the USU is improved.

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:35pm

Correct, I misread your post.

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 5:14pm

like you said, the USU of the 2010's is not the USU of the 2000's and prior...

icecougar

11/25/15 2:25pm

2 out of the 3 losses to Utah State in over 30 years have been under Bronco

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:23pm

USU is not a patsy anymore. They're better now than at any time since the 1970s

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:25pm

Don't care. I still want to beat them 100% of the time.

cheezedawg

That's fine; so do I. I also want a 100% raise at my job. Ain't gonna happen.

So, what do you want Bronco to do?

Random Walk

BYU has a team sports psychologist

Turnpike Lane

11/25/15 12:27pm

Isn't emotion best when it comes organically (i.e., through the players)?

Random Walk

11/25/15 12:29pm

No, not for most people. Players (especially young players) will get more

Broda

Why are you even trolling this topic?

Mostly because the article doesn't say that Bronco expects his team to be devoid
