championship BYU won was when it was the most prestigious tournament and, therefore, arguably equivalent to a national championship, most BYU fans don't think about BYU basketball having a national championship pedigree. And those who are old enough to remember it are mostly in their 70s or older.

In contrast, people in their 40s remember winning the football national championship. And we've wanted another ever since.

If Bronco doesn't talk about a national championship as a goal, he gets strung up by a huge segment of the fan base. If he does, he gets strung up by another huge segment of the fan base.

IMO, he needs to keep the national championship as a goal and the fans need to realize he isn't promising it this year. He isn't telling us to expect it this year. He's saying that's what we're working toward.
