"I don't understand your logic" (Said with a Chris Farley accent)

We don't know if AAC is better than MWC or Indy... I assume we are talking about Playoff access. It depends on if the selection group values SOS or conference affiliation i.e. Indy vs. conference. If it comes down to $ then Indy BYU is > than the non P5 field.

If your talking pure scheduling... no worries... we're pretty much part of the AAC unless ECU finished at the top we'll play their best team twice this season & they were quite clear about wanting to schedule us...

BYU will start losing fan interest this year.

Walter Bellhaven

Good to know. Keep us updated.

Chicken Little and UoU fans predicted this when UoU got the PAC 10.2 invite

Coogar2

7/31/14 11:53am

I would like to lose 10% of our fan base.

charles

7/30/14 6:21pm

That is a ton of cash but I'm afraid you're going to get your wish.

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 6:22pm

sooner the better

charles

7/30/14 6:24pm

For BYU, TV is a higher priority than $, so BYU is OK w/ discounting to fill LES

7/30/14 7:11pm

As long as I can choose the 10%, Id be ok with it, too

SuperTank

7/30/14 6:54pm

And then they could install movie theatre seats! Can't wait.

Malathion

7/30/14 7:49pm

Hopefully we can ditch independence, yes, but not for a lame conference.

LiveCoug

7/30/14 6:23pm

LOL We're not joining any G5 league until 2019--unless we can keep our ESPN deal

7/30/14 6:26pm

And if we join a lame league in 2019, that is a very very bad sign.

LiveCoug

7/30/14 6:30pm

Only join a P5 or equivalent conference. No MWC please!

Archaea

7/30/14 6:40pm

Independence got me to my first game in person in years

gustav88

7/30/14 6:33pm

the valid part of this argument is the lack of fun

Archaea

7/30/14 6:39pm

Which is no different than if we were in the Big12.

7/30/14 7:40pm

Not in the SEC.

Archaea

7/30/14 7:42pm

In most years even a team from the SEC would need to be undefeated.

7/30/14 7:54pm

$50 says any one loss SEC champion is in the playoff 10 out of 10 years.

unctoothman

7/30/14 8:44pm

That is probably true

7/31/14 12:31am

I disagree

ManicBlue

7/31/14 2:16am

As long as we remain a cheap first date, we will always get good attendance.

Josef K

And keep everyone singing "Sweet Caroline"

LV Mike

7/30/14 6:37pm

Maybe we should have Super Diamond come out and lead us.

Josef K

7/30/14 6:40pm

It will lose the well of excitement, to be certain.

Archaea

7/30/14 6:36pm

your shtick is old

binghammer

7/30/14 6:48pm

Ignore me.

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 6:49pm

more fun to laugh at you

binghammer

7/30/14 6:56pm

Well is it getting old or is it funny?

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 6:59pm

the fact that you are such a broken record definitely makes for some amusement

binghammer

7/30/14 7:02pm

So it's not getting old then?

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:04pm

It's definitely old, I never said otherwise

binghammer

7/30/14 7:09pm

So it's an English duel huh?

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:10pm

Whatever takes the spotlight off you after you say something ignorant

binghammer

7/30/14 7:12pm

Well at least you're optimistic about your 2nd grade education.

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:14pm

You corrected it and are now passing with a 75%

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:12pm

and your original post is still just as ignorant as it was originally

binghammer

7/30/14 7:14pm

I guess we'll see.

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:16pm

Let me know when you change it

binghammer

You showed him with your overwhelming onslaught of analysis and wit.

Archaea

Doesn't take much with him, or you actually

binghammer

7/30/14 7:33pm

You might disagree with him, but

Archaea

7/30/14 7:37pm

I've attempted to debate it out with facts

binghammer

7/30/14 7:41pm

Here are the conclusions, as supported by past years.

Archaea

7/30/14 7:44pm

He said "lose interest"

binghammer

7/30/14 7:49pm

Fans will lose interest.

Archaea

7/30/14 7:50pm

sure, him and 4 others with his same problem will throw themselves

binghammer

7/30/14 7:55pm

I know grammar and synatax don't matter to you, but they

Archaea

7/30/14 8:01pm

Ironic that you start in on me about attacking him

binghammer

Pointing out poor writing is NOT an ad hominem attack.

Archaea

7/31/14 8:51am

say what you want

binghammer

7/31/14 10:39am

"weak minds" is an insult by the way. Are you capable of engaging without

Archaea

7/31/14 3:04pm

Just playing on your level bud

binghammer

7/31/14 3:24pm

You haven't identified a single insult by me. You must be confusing my posts

Archaea

7/31/14 4:15pm

It's cool, I'm not mad at you

binghammer

7/31/14 4:37pm

Any examples where I have been proven wrong?

Walter Bellhaven

You need to wake up, son. BYU football is in a mangled spot. The future is not

Can we stop pretending like differentiating you're versus your is a miracle?

QuinneyCoug

7/30/14 7:26pm

You're correct, but it is irritating to see so much bad syntax

Archaea

7/30/14 7:32pm

Did they teach you reading comprehension back when you were in school?

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

7/30/14 7:45pm

This is another example of the sort of annoying behavior we see on the internet.

QuinneyCoug

coug10278

7/30/14 7:05pm

I would contend every team loses some fan interest unless an undefeated season

coug10278

7/30/14 7:12pm

Most teams would gain fan interest back if they were to win 4 in a row

Walter Bellhaven

7/30/14 7:09pm

so?

I guess that depends on who you ask.

COUGAR_Blue_Avenger

BYU is a regional brand with potential for becoming quasi-national
