Top 10 reasons to pick BYU football. "Pro Football preparation".
http://web.archive.org/web/20061113162326/http://www.byucougars.com/football/why_byu.html

"BYU football is a great place to launch an NFL career. Over the past 20 years BYU has had 61 players taken in the NFL draft, including 31 players over the past 10 years. BYU also has had nine first-round draft picks. Last year 27 former BYU players dotted NFL rosters�That�s second most of any team in the West behind USC.

� 27 Cougars currently in the NFL
� More than 100 NFL draft picks in last 30 years
� 9 First-round draft picks
� 42 Cougars have played in the Super Bowl
� Three former Cougars are NFL head coaches (Brian Billick, Andy Reid, Mike Holmgren) "

It's been evident to me for the last few seasons that byu football has been on a downward trend...

Half a decade worth of consecutive rival losses, an almost complete hiatus from the NFL draft, few notable wins in several years, more and more losses, losses to programs BYU football would never have dreamed losing to prior to 5/6 years ago etc etc...

I then read this webpage put together by BYU athletics some years ago. It's like BYU football is a shell of its former self... Yeah I've had my moments where I've enjoyed the ragging on Bronco and the state of the program, essentially venting my frustration of watching BYU's continual descent into the land of irrelevence... Consistently falling well below the program's own stated goals and expectations. But... I'm losing my desire to even rag on the state of the program. Im more sad about BYU's steady decline and fall from national football power grace under the current leaderships watch. It's like the program has been suffocated by "just good enough" and the athletic department and school leaders are obviously ok with it as well. I miss the days where BYU strived not only for off field excellence but on field excellence as well.
