The whole Rileygate episode took a toll on TNT's committment to BYU football

how can you have a head coach that puts one player above the team? This isn't women's intramural soccer. This is (supposed to be) big-time football.

Now it appears Bronco is doing it again with Howell. How is TNT supposed to take this staff seriously? If this was a corporate environment BYU football would have folded a long time ago.

The only player I've bashed in all my years on cougarboard is Riley Nelson

He told them. Coaches knew about it. They just blew it in identifying

I've rarely seen a player so obviously drugged up to play -- he would have been

8/29/15 7:45pm

If Riley was hurt and didn't tell coaches, then whose fault was it...?

BabyOx

8/29/15 12:50pm

Coaches knew the injury, and it is an injury you can play through. Bryce Petty

Shimmy

8/29/15 12:57pm

But in lead up to the first game he played w/ the injury he didn't practice

SpiffCoug

8/29/15 1:22pm

And it was Bronco overuling Doman. Doman wanted Lark.

byubyu

8/29/15 1:45pm

Do you think that does anything other than prove my point?

Shimmy

8/29/15 4:45pm

Right, but if Riley didn't practice in the lead up to the game, how could

SpiffCoug

8/29/15 4:49pm

If he didn't practice because of the pain, then he shouldn't play.

Shimmy

8/29/15 4:56pm

Which is what I think the case was. Riley didn't practice all week.

SpiffCoug

8/29/15 5:04pm

Yeah. It was dumb. Riley may have been good to go, still dumb

Shimmy

Riley was ineffective even when healthy. And you didn't answer my question.

BabyOx

8/29/15 1:24pm

What statistic can you point to that shows Nelson was ineffective when healthy?

CMuehle

8/29/15 1:30pm

Sr. Year he fumbled 9 times (9 times? 9 times...) threw as many Int's as TD's

BabyOx

8/29/15 1:39pm

I'll repeat, what statistic can you point to that shows Nelson was

CMuehle

8/29/15 1:47pm

A healthy Nelson gives BYU a great chance to win

byubyu

8/29/15 2:21pm

I agree with that.

CMuehle

8/29/15 2:35pm

He was healthy his sophomore year, and his QB efficiency rating was even lower

BabyOx

8/29/15 2:26pm

No, he wasn't healthy his sophomore year.

CMuehle

8/29/15 2:32pm

Can you show me a stat that shows he was effective? He was adequate at best,

BabyOx

8/29/15 2:35pm

Here's some stats.

CMuehle

8/29/15 2:40pm

Wow, 9-1 against powerhouses like Hawaii, Idaho, NMSU, Idaho State and SJSU. And

BabyOx

8/29/15 2:49pm

9-1 is 9-1.

CMuehle

8/29/15 3:04pm

I agree. Whose job is it to not play someone when they are ineffective?

Bravescoug

8/29/15 2:03pm

Bronco carried blame just like Riley, two clueless peas in a pod.

BabyOx

RE: Bronco carried blame just like Riley, two clueless peas in a pod.

Bravescoug

the coaches knew he was hurt

macaroni

8/29/15 2:23pm

When Riley was healthy, he was actually a good qb

idcougarfan

8/29/15 3:11pm

It's not his fault because others have done it too? Not following you.

Real Men Wear Blue

8/29/15 7:08pm

The bottom line is the coaches decide who plays.

Bravescoug

8/29/15 8:38pm

Was it really bashing ...or just stating the truth.

WJCougar

8/29/15 12:22pm

It was definitely bashing. I was part of it, and it went too far IMHO with the

Shimmy

8/29/15 12:24pm

I've bashed other players but I regret it. As long as they hustle, they don't

Shimmy

8/29/15 12:23pm

Welp, I've done my fair share of bashing. I will definitely work on tbat

Shimmy

8/29/15 12:28pm

"as long as they hustle" Good to know I was okay to bash Chambers.

BabyOx

8/29/15 12:52pm

I'll disagree on a few different fronts - first, players all the time in many

BYUfan92

8/29/15 12:36pm

Yeah, Warner played most the year with a broken hand

Dr T-bone

8/29/15 12:40pm

A couple of things.

CMuehle

8/29/15 1:02pm

even if we presume riley "lied" to coaches RE his health that doesn't change

nashty

8/29/15 1:31pm

You're wrong. The coaches and team doctors knew 100 percent

byubyu

8/29/15 1:34pm

It wasn't Riley's job to take himself out; that's the coaches' job.

HawkCat

We've never had this discussion on here before

HendyCoug

ha ha. Yep. I should just delete my post. No new ground to discuss.

Great idea! Glad you thought of it.

The whole Rileygate episode took a toll on TNT's committment to BYU football

TNT

8/29/15 2:18pm

He wasn't hiding that his back was broke

NorthBayCoug

8/29/15 2:30pm

The BYU D was to Riley what Taysom is to the BYU D now. It masked how truly bad

BabyOx

8/29/15 2:45pm

Heaps played against Ole Miss, not Riley. Try again.

HawkCat

8/29/15 2:50pm

I'm aware of that, the Ole Miss game was cited as an example of the D winning

BabyOx

8/29/15 3:05pm

Nice edit to throw Heaps name in there. Sure you did buddy. Sure you did.

HawkCat

8/29/15 3:11pm

Nonsense. What are trainers and coaches for?

HighHorse

8/29/15 3:59pm

Everyone knew Riley shouldn't have played the last three games that he did.

mantis mutu

8/29/15 4:11pm

It is not Riley's position to take himself out of the game. He thought he could

pappabear246

8/29/15 4:07pm

It's amazing you're dumb enough to think

shakarocks

8/29/15 4:43pm

They should've. But they didn't.

mantis mutu

8/29/15 4:48pm

Oh yes they did

shakarocks

8/29/15 4:52pm

You don't let guys play with a broken back vertebrae. No way do I believe this.

mantis mutu

8/29/15 4:56pm

Then you're as dumb as the original poster

shakarocks

8/29/15 5:05pm

Way to make it personal

Bgash

8/29/15 5:46pm

I personally hate it when people lie

shakarocks

8/29/15 5:57pm

I know for a fact the coaches knew. Which is why

byubyu

8/29/15 6:19pm

Yup

shakarocks

8/29/15 6:35pm

Signed, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. you can play with a broken back.

macaroni

8/29/15 6:57pm

Bryce Petty had the same injury last year. Played just fine.

Shimmy

8/30/15 10:29am

No, only Riley and every other fan knew it. He hid it from coaches, trainers and

pappabear246

Does CB really have to rehash this every other week?

Bgash

8/29/15 5:20pm

Yes

If TNT says so, then its fine w/ me. You may proceed.
