Not a knock on Dr. Anae in any way but those who know him

Straight forward person you will most likely meet.

Heinz57

in that case, maybe he was really trying to pay the BYU fanbase a compliment?

Michael Skarn

No, Robert was just telling it like it is.

Heinz57

OK, I understand ... not sure it answers the question, but I'll

Heightened sensitivity is perhaps the last thing I would label Anae with

'dweller

4/7/14 5:54pm

Well, given the comments about how critical he thinks BYU fans are

Michael Skarn

I think Bronco is more apathetic to the fan base than Anae

I agree with this

donnerstag

Well, I guess I disagree.

Yep, good summary of the question

Michael Skarn

Just making an observation about the OP .. sorry that it

got under my skin? I was agreeing with you

Michael Skarn

"Dr. Anae"? Nobody refers to him as that unless they want to be antagonistic

darkcoug

I don't ever recall posting about Dr. Anae before

I think it's more that he just doesn't like whining and ignorance, combined.

'dweller

4/7/14 5:26pm

Don't get me wrong. I like to ignorantly criticize every play that doesn't

Being critical and over-analytical makes the game more tolerable?

StantonMac

Well, what I mean is... yelling at the television can be therapeutic

Icon either is a flipping finger or a "crown" drink

Heinz57

My icon? It's a BYU football helmet facing forward.

Sports, like politics, is one of those frustrating jobs for those that have the

of course the numerous coaching changes had no effect on his thoughts.

monsterdave

Michael Skarn

RE: Yep- you're right again. But if you call this an actual topic (LOL)

monsterdave

4/8/14 5:38pm

so, it's the position coaches who were determining the direction of the program?

Michael Skarn

4/8/14 5:58pm

Except that's not why he left

Freddie Cougar

4/8/14 7:10am

say what? so he was lying?

Michael Skarn

4/8/14 8:48am

No, you are mischaracterizing why he left

Freddie Cougar
