Questions that torture me as a BYU fan

There are no answers to your questions.

Why do posters on CB have so many questions?

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 11:18am

It's called being a fan. It's not CB. It's the nature of fanhood.

southernfriedcougar

I was only kidding SFC

kimdaddy35

That's good. Ate my bowl of tics n bananas for the day. I'm ready to go.

southernfriedcougar

We wouldn't be here if we weren't invested in what happens....

Bonoman

What would have happened if...

StealingHome

3/31/15 11:19am

Or if Davies were playing

crm48

3/31/15 11:28am

Yeah, a lot of what ifs in that game...but...

That is the greatest what if at BYU over the last 20 years

#2 on the list bugs me the most

That can apply to Football and Basketball

Consistently getting to the conference championship game is performing "poorly"?

StantonMac

3/31/15 11:19am

TNT wonders why there are always a couple of games each season

TNT

3/31/15 11:28am

and against crap teams no less

3/31/15 11:29am

Will Bronco ever realize that #6 is stupid and will stop doing it.

RC Vikings

3/31/15 11:28am

Bronco does not have a good "thats stupid" meter

crm48

3/31/15 11:29am

I'm an avid Bronco defender...

Superman21

I thought that was Anae's thing.

PlanoCougar

3/31/15 2:03pm

I was wondering how long it would take

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 2:09pm

Pretty well documented that it was Bronco's thing

Superman21

3/31/15 5:53pm

I would like to see that since only the offense does it

The OP was not talking about Tradition, Spirit, Honor

PolarisPrime

4/1/15 4:05pm

If the players thought it was that stupid, the leadership council would stop it.

Lance71

3/31/15 11:34am

I've seen many other teams do this. It's not a "Bronco thing."

Traveshamockery

3/31/15 1:39pm

Name one other college team

RC Vikings

3/31/15 2:40pm

I saw Texas Tech do it and other teams as I've watched games.

Bonoman

You dont know what the term "apologist" means do you?

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 12:24pm

Well whenever the word is used, they sure do hear momma ringing the dinner bell

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 12:34pm

Using the term apologist in a negative sense is incorrect

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 1:00pm

Absolutely nothing you said explains how the term

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 1:18pm

Pffft... Wow.....

PolarisPrime

Someone who is never wrong... lol Tell us about it.

LOL - as I said.

Well stated. Those very same

A few of my answers (not just another sarcastic reply from Kimdaddy)

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 11:46am

It helps to ask questions that at least reflect reality

CoopDizz

3/31/15 11:53am

You missed the point of question 3

Cougar Insider

Not the only benchmark for the quality of a postseason

CoopDizz

3/31/15 1:40pm

What I meant was exactly what I said. Every single post season

pistol12

3/31/15 8:07pm

I listed the successful postseasons in my original response

CoopDizz

3/31/15 8:13pm

Regarding the Utah question. Kyle's scheme is effective against BYU athletes

ALUF 1990

I knew there would be a pac12 reference in there somewhere...

BabyOx

Our slow white guys are a little bit faster than your slow white guys...

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:34pm

Based on the results of the past 11 matchups...it's hard to argue with any of

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:32pm

I can argue that Jake Heaps played his worst game against Utah.

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 1:38pm

I agree. Heaps' individual performance that game was horrendous...but,

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:50pm

I do think BYU comes out the same, but Utah comes out burning with desire

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 1:55pm

Interesting point.

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 2:06pm

Case and point. Go look how many times Utah has lost the next game after BYU.

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 2:14pm

OK, I checked myself. Since BYU's last win over Utah in 2009, Utah has lost

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 2:21pm

For Utah it's worse than that. They've lost every game before and after BYU

Lance71

3/31/15 2:31pm

Thats interesting.

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 3:28pm

The games after BYU were USC, UCLA, ASU, etc. What do they all have in common?

ALUF 1990

3/31/15 5:14pm

I won't deny that BYU's passing attack has been bad. And maybe true with the

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 5:41pm

They are all teams that Utah lost to after BYU?

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 6:51pm

I dont think you can draw any conclusions

PolarisPrime

3/31/15 2:14pm

Did you watch any of the BYU/Utah pregame last time? Any at all?

ALUF 1990

3/31/15 5:04pm

I hate to admit that I agree with you.

PlanoCougar

3/31/15 5:12pm

Don't buy it. BYU beats P5 teams with speed. Just not Utah.

HenderCoug

3/31/15 1:55pm

Ok, so you don't "buy it". That's fine. Please explain why the rivalry game

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 2:10pm

BYU was undefeated against P5 teams last season.

Belboz

3/31/15 2:13pm

I wouldn't call it bad luck, except for maybe the Heaps freshman team that

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 2:22pm

The reason: 90% of the game is half mental. Yogi.

HenderCoug

3/31/15 4:19pm

This is exactly right. But most BYU fans will look at the rankings and say "but

Ash

3/31/15 2:56pm

All are complicated, except #6 which is just stupid and could stop at any time.

BabyOx

3/31/15 1:16pm

I believe that the answer to #1 has to do with KW's familiarity with BYU

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 1:34pm

Why can't Bronco hire or develop coaches the way Rose does?

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 1:36pm

Why can't BYU's kicker consistently get touchbacks at 4500 Feet?

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 1:39pm

It's sad that you have to include a disclaimer

marticorp

3/31/15 3:23pm

I know. I agree.

pistol12

3/31/15 7:43pm

Maybe the disclaimer should also have a clause
