There used to only be 16 bowl games. You were almost always playing a top 25 team. The record was not good but that doesn't mean much compared to the recent bowl success.

Nice to see such fresh, new points being made on CB today.

As opposed to the fresh, new point you made earlier?

Thanks for reading.

Do you really think Lavell's bowl record is comparable to Bronco's?

Did he say it was? or --

lightmann

Just not sure why else he'd bring it up considering the entire point of the post

SandYFan

10/22/14 3:13pm

uh ... didn't really see that the entire point of the post

SMU was ranked #19 at the time of the bowl and finished ranked #20.

Obviously Bronco's bowl record is better.

I love Lavell but there is no way around that his bowl record wasn't good.

SCcoug

10/22/14 4:21pm

Actually, Lavell was better in bowl games than he was in the regular season

Great perspective. Unfortunately, many on here weren't born before 1985.

I didn't read this whole thing bug if Bronco wins a NC, he can do whatever he

I agree with a lot of what you say. But...

Balancing the schollies is probably the least of his worries.

I guess I just don't understand what tasks in his day planner are so...

I bet his Sundays are pretty different.

Comparisons of Bronco to Lavell are pointless

jpesk2

10/22/14 3:35pm

lol, Bronco is well above 5%.

SCcoug

10/22/14 3:38pm

Well, he has a lot more that 5% of the respect, so can we make comparisons now?

Get back to me when Bronco has a stretch like LaVell had from 1979-1985

Since we're talking myths, here's one: BYU is Big Brother to Utah.

Ouch.

Since we're talking myths, here's one: who says being Big Brother is best ?

You may not want to hear from a Ute fan on this but . . . .

Those are good points.

Lavell had the ability to hide his record.....

Pardon me, but Bronco only won 2 conference championships in 6 seasons
