And seen it too much. I am speaking from like 13 years on this board. Even undefeated and ranked, someone will be the whipping boy. It's like the sun coming up in the morning.

Irony alert re:this entire thread-Juergens(soph) and Blackmon (Junior)

Bronco has also shown time and time again that Grit starts above talent

rckrunner

Should be easy for you to list samples then. I challenge you.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 11:57am

Riley Nelson.... do I need to say more?

rckrunner

9/16/14 12:00pm

Who was better than Riley behind those offensive lines?

BarraCouga

9/16/14 12:32pm

Here is what we know.

rckrunner

9/16/14 12:42pm

So...you really don't know squat. You assume.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 12:49pm

And you are assuming that Lark wouldn't have been better? Thanks for playing.

rckrunner

9/16/14 12:57pm

I am quite confident he wouldn't have been better...

Nope. It's a fact that he never won the job.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 1:14pm

Fact: We don't know why he won the starting job.... you say its because he was

rckrunner

Can you show me where I said he was overflowing with talent?

5 years is an awful long time.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 7:57pm

that's hard to say, once Jake was gone nobody else got to play...

There was one guy better. Hill.

he was young and Lark was a senior...

I'm not a fan of seeing Povey

BigYfan

9/16/14 5:43am

Then I guess he can be the defensive whipping boy.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 6:08am

Say what you want, Povey and Juergens would not be starting

BigYfan

9/16/14 6:13am

Perfect. Keep it up. You're doing great!

BarraCouga

9/16/14 6:21am

They're not starting at BYU either

Freddie Cougar

9/16/14 7:55am

and what is your point, are you?

BigYfan

9/16/14 9:36am

His point is that they aren't starters. So you saying they wouldn't start at any

collie418

9/16/14 10:40am

both have started this year

BigYfan

9/16/14 12:31pm

PoVey started because Daniel/Johnson were suspended

Povey had more tackles at UCONN than Warcup had entire Sr. year.

Thrill

9/16/14 6:25pm

I think he's currently both 3rd in tackles and 3rd in TFL's on the team.

BarraCouga

I like Juergens. He is a good player.

the worse thing about CB, the short sided nature of so many of the idiots

yes, always looking on the short side of life

I can't help it, one leg is shorter than the other.

Of course you are glad we have a whipping boy

BYU "fans" aren't happy unless they are complaining

byu_coug

The internet (msg boards) is a complainers playground.

It's all message board fans. Not just BYU, not all BYU fans. It's just a message

Naw, it's just that happy people are complacent, comfortable,...

Make fun of complainers, but Povey should NOT be playing.

OptimisTIC

9/16/14 7:28am

Povey is much better at safety than CB

JKLCoug

9/16/14 7:34am

3rd on the team in tackles, tied for 3rd in TFL's on a top 20 defense might,

I haven't seen all those things from Blackmon

and they were right, alisa moved to LB and JSwag is about to set all-time

nashty
