HiLife

Many BYU fans acted like this in the 80's too. Fans developed some pretty outlandish expectations, and unless the QB & team puts on a stunning performance, you will hear the same types of stupid, nonsensical comments and complaints.

Am I the only one who feels it very difficult to be a BYU footbal fan these days

Why? Based on comparison to the Utes? What's your reasoning?

Flippy

10/5/15 9:54am

Why?

bushy7

10/5/15 9:54am

Probably.

No. You're not. It's not as fun as it once was. Zero personality with this

Not as fun?

bushy7

10/5/15 10:01am

But who are we??? What is our identity? We've lost that.

pink22

10/5/15 10:18am

In what ways have we lost our identity?

When you played BYU in the 80s you knew we threw the ball a lot. Quarterback U.

What was your opinion of Lavell in the 90's when most teams were running west

Littlerich

10/5/15 10:07am

The 90's saw...

Smoke Monster

10/5/15 10:16am

The success, sans the heismann and #5 ranking is very similar during Bronco's

Littlerich

See this link

Littlerich

10/5/15 10:19am

That's a real load of bull crap you are serving up there...

Smoke Monster

10/5/15 10:23am

In fairness, the Heisman winner just barely snuck into the disputed time frame.

ByuMba90

Man the 90's sucked.

Smoke Monster

10/5/15 10:43am

68% winning percentage compared to a 62% winning percentage now. Yup, the 90's

ByuMba90

10/5/15 11:28am

This is what I am trying to say: BYU's win loss success is relatively the same

Littlerich

10/5/15 11:09am

You are cherry picking stats

HiLife

10/5/15 10:51am

cherry picking? LOL... yeah, ok

Smoke Monster

10/5/15 10:54am

I agree that the program was better as a whole

HiLife

Bronco has been in 3 bowls that didn't even exsit in the 90's...

Smoke Monster

10/5/15 11:37am

a little bit of revisionist history there

Y05

10/5/15 11:19am

I agree that there were a lot of good wins in there

HiLife

10/5/15 11:41am

i agree with your overall premis, there were just a few errors i was pointing

Y05

10/5/15 12:13pm

Maybe, maybe not. I'm sorry I can't sympathize with you or know how to inspire

ByuMba90

10/5/15 10:03am

No, but the majority of reasons are out of BYU's control.

Turnpike Lane

10/5/15 10:05am

Here's the crappy thing about this. Right now Baylor and TCU are lighting up

Flippy

10/5/15 10:10am

We need OU, TCU and BU to all split those games.

Turnpike Lane

10/5/15 10:12am

Good points. Go Clemson!

Flippy

Nope, lots of people hop on and off the bandwagon all the time, and for

Who hates the players?

TNT

10/5/15 10:09am

Did you miss Riley Nelson

BYUMizzou

10/5/15 10:13am

So folks hated Riley or they hated how the coaches used him?

TNT

10/5/15 10:15am

At the time they hated Riley. They also hated that he kept telling the coaches

John Doe

10/5/15 10:33am

lots of people hated riley

fattycoug

10/5/15 10:40am

TNT. Of course, TNT hates everybody, so that's a bad example.

John Doe

10/5/15 10:15am

That's a lie! He loves super attractive women

TNT

10/5/15 10:15am

But he hates how they keep calling the cops when TNT gets with 100 yards.

John Doe

10/5/15 10:30am

Crowton days were much worse.

You have short term memory issues..or you fail to enjoy hail mary wins. Not sure

try going through a whole season without reading CB. I bet things get better.

Cougarclaw

the first two weeks were some of the most exciting weeks in BYU football history

I'd even throw a week 3 loss in there.

Winning

Agree on all points. Week 4 was the cliff

As sad as it is to say and don't let any yewt fans see this. 1984 never happens

Cougz19

Near impossible for 90% of P5 teams as well

Jacob

Amen! If fans new better they'd be getting paid for it.

I love BYU there are alot of very uneducated fans that are very difficult to be

Cougz19
