What’s happening at byu isn’t unique to byu. Look at the entire landscape.

blackandblue

I do hope you're right on that. I do think our kids were all encouraged to jump in the Portal, though

SinkingQuffa

Rose never finished below 3. He had a few 2nd places. Average WCC conf ranking

Whoop-de-doo. Sounds like coronation material to me. Oh wait — yes, that's already happened.

SinkingQuffa

7:29am

You seem to think pope deserves coronation for much less

BYU '80

7:31am

No. Just some acknowledgment as a dang good HC in his limited time. Who saved our program.

SinkingQuffa

7:33am

If UK plays D for Pope like you, I think they’ll be pretty good next year

Forbidden Fruit

7:38am

Or if they just play D like Pope's teams do. Our best defensive HC since Roger Reid. Hands-down.

Pope and Rose are close by the numbers. 79 and 85 avg D efficiency rankings.
