I would totally lay some money down... if it weren't for my morals.

I don't care what Vegas says. If you think Friday's game won't be close

ChopperDave

8/27/14 10:17am

This is acceptable logic

TNT

8/27/14 10:18am

Yep, Bronco is 1-5 in Sep. road games since 2010. Disaster written all over it

coug203

8/27/14 10:19am

AHH! But it will still be August! What's his road record in August!?

Stop_JimmerTime

8/27/14 10:23am

No data. 2-0 in August home games as Head Coach. No road openers in Aug yet.

coug203

8/27/14 10:26am

Virginia was in August. So 0-1

Nikomedes

8/27/14 10:39am

Right you are.

coug203

8/27/14 10:48am

But but but... did you see the Texas game last year?

Smoke Monster

8/27/14 10:21am

By your logic, there would be a significant chance of BYU losing @ Delaware...

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:21am

Uh... I think he did use coaching experience as the reason for his opinion...

Smoke Monster

8/27/14 10:27am

No, no he didn't

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:31am

Uh... yeah he did.

Smoke Monster

8/27/14 10:45am

That's the conclusion you drew from his comments, not the logic he used

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:48am

Ok... enlighten us... why are we wrong?

Smoke Monster

8/27/14 10:51am

UConn is not Virginia or Ole Miss

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:00am

UConn is pretty awful. If they were half-decent, I would agree with you.

rggee

8/27/14 10:22am

Virginia last year was awfuler

Winning

8/27/14 10:26am

No they were not.

2FarGone

8/27/14 10:29am

They didn't know that yet week 1. Everyone is supremely confident.

mulletino

8/27/14 10:30am

Virginia last year had an elite defense but played 11 bowl teams

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:31am

But not as bad as our brand new offense. A half-decent team would've

Mantis Mutu

8/27/14 10:46am

Virginia gets 4 and 5 star guys, UConn does not

mjmill

8/27/14 12:24pm

Correct. But we get more NFL calibre talent than VA.

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:09pm

Not even close

CoopDizz

8/27/14 1:15pm

Over the last 7 years, UCONN more draft picks than VA + BYU combined...

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:23pm

Every coach talks up his players; it's called coach-speak

CoopDizz

8/27/14 1:26pm

So, you are going with "I know more about UCONN than anyone else"

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:31pm

I'm sure plenty of kids in the northeast have talent

CoopDizz

8/27/14 1:37pm

Explain why those "super coaches" with 7 draft picks the last two years

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:44pm

It really isn't complicated

CoopDizz

8/27/14 2:04pm

Or you could say he don't know much about UCONN

sdhusky

8/27/14 3:05pm

Nope. Composed of top-30 recruiting classes.

Harrison0Yfan

8/27/14 4:45pm

A significant chance?

2FarGone

8/27/14 10:28am

Utah is as talented as BYU; UCONN is not close at most positions

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:32am

UCONN has had more players drafted than Utah over the last 7 years

sdhusky

8/27/14 11:41am

What were your last five recruiting classes ranked?

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:52am

They don't rank most guys in the northeast

sdhusky

8/27/14 12:06pm

They would rank them if it were worth it

CoopDizz

8/27/14 12:25pm

Wrong. Turns out the services are there to make a profit.

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:13pm

They can't make a profit if they don't do a good job

CoopDizz

8/27/14 1:16pm

Wrong. They make money if they please high spending fan bases.

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:24pm

Which they won't do if they don't do their jobs accurately

CoopDizz

8/27/14 1:26pm

I've seen a Calhoun offer raise a BB player 50 spots without playing 1 second

sdhusky

8/27/14 1:26pm

Yep. It's going to be close and ugly. BYU wins 25-17.

Ham

8/27/14 10:29am

I disagree w ya, but can't fault your take.

Mantis Mutu

8/27/14 10:43am

I fault the logic, not necessarily the conclusions

CoopDizz

8/27/14 10:46am

I'm thinking blowout. But I know history is shaking its condescending head at me

Mantis Mutu

8/27/14 10:53am

History tempers my prediction to 24-13

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:01am

I can see that. You know they're gonna be keying on our run game.

Mantis Mutu

8/27/14 11:29am

history is irrelevant unless there is something connecting it to the present

BlueK

8/27/14 11:19am

Here, relevant history would be the trouble our coaching staff has had...

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:26am

Yes, but I think what is more important are the individual elements involved

BlueK

8/27/14 11:45am

It was the coaches who failed to prepare Hill and the OL

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:59am

Hill wasn't going to be ready to play anyway. It took many more weeks before he

BlueK

8/27/14 12:04pm

That would fall in the "not enough time" part of my post

CoopDizz

8/27/14 12:27pm

I love internet tough guys. Calling you out. If you are so smart

Mayor of Cougartown

8/27/14 10:45am

How about this, other internet tough guy

ChopperDave

8/27/14 11:28am

No response... wow...

ChopperDave

8/27/14 11:38am

You only gave him 10 minutes.

PolarisPrime

8/27/14 11:42am

I'd take that bet

invisible sman

8/27/14 11:47am

You've got a DEAL..

Mayor of Cougartown

8/27/14 12:00pm

you can also require me to change my pic from Ron Swanson to something else

Mayor of Cougartown

8/27/14 12:01pm

ITS ON! That said I hope BYU wins by 50

ChopperDave

8/27/14 12:44pm

I would totally lay some money down... if it weren't for my morals.

Ham

8/27/14 11:36am

it's interesting, some things you can do in day trading on the market are no

Mayor of Cougartown

8/27/14 12:00pm

From everything I've read, Uconn will struggle nightly this year

Real Men Wear Blue

8/27/14 10:49am

And kick butt by day???

Mantis Mutu

8/27/14 10:56am

Blasted autocorrect--

Real Men Wear Blue

8/27/14 2:54pm

I will be very happy with a win.

The Lone Wolf

refunder

8/27/14 11:35am

But, but, but UCONN is terrible!

pistol12

8/27/14 11:53am

I don't have a ton of confidence in your ability to read between the lines

CoopDizz

8/27/14 11:55am

Go back and watch the last two post practice interviews.

The Lone Wolf

8/27/14 12:19pm

I watched/read them plenty

CoopDizz

8/27/14 12:26pm

We will see. I'm not making guarantees. Hope I'm wrong.

The Lone Wolf

8/27/14 12:48pm

I agree with you. I hope a blowout but don't see it happening due to history.

SoValleyCOUG

8/27/14 12:42pm

If u r so sure, u should b headed to vegas right now...but I think ur right

zerome4sooners

8/27/14 12:51pm

Vegas doesn't try to predict the outcome of the games

ChunkyBasty

8/27/14 2:12pm

it won't. you'll see

cougforever

8/27/14 2:27pm

(At the time of this post) Nearly 500 CB members have put in their prediction

OldCosmo

8/27/14 2:39pm

It's about time to exorcise these demons and get it right.
