And are you truly refusing to acknowledge that the past 5 years of USU football

have been their best since the Merlin Olsen era?

Yeah, people hate losing to USU. But that doesn't mean USU is obligated to stink forever simply to keep BYU fans happy.

Bronco being Bronco. Grab your pitchforks and torches

Good thing he's learning from his mistakes.

No argument to this quote....

"Being consistent" in losing to Utah and other big opponents. But that's cool

DrKennethNoisewater

11/25/15 11:55am

Heck yes, Thurday's Heros and firesides are worth a couple extra losses a year.

Bluedomination

A perfect example of non sequitur

This quote really sums Bronco up.....

Bronco has close to an overall 90% win rate against G-5 teams.

BeardedSpock

Exactly.

Bronco wins more games he that he's expected to lose than any coach in BYU

consistent=8 wins?

Don't over think things Bronco...it's football.

icecougar

He's wrong though he is producing very low lows yearly.

I've given up on complaining about Bronco. Ok, one more.

I miss the pitchfork and torches days. My interest was sky high then.

seems as though you have adopted the Bronco fandom approach

11/25/15 12:49pm

I honestly think Bronco loves to troll the media and fans

Such an asinine philosophy.

I don't care about philosophy as long as it results in a win. If not, hot seat.

"you run the risk of the real highs" - Bronco. Yep, no highs is our mantra.

Hooray! We're slightly above average!

He might be trying to avoid the "Whittingham Effect", where you focus so much

Other teams manage it. I don't see why it's hard to beat your rival

Read it. Then come back to the board and state your opinion. It's correct.

It's a snoozer. Definitely mild on the PK scale.

Random Walk

With all due respect, BYU's inability to have a great season and/or even win the emotional games under Bronco is proof

I don't know how you got much of anything from that article.

His quotes just confirm what we see from his teams on the field.

Another successful PK troll. He doesn't even have to try anymore.

BeardedSpock

I think Bronco underestimates how different fans would view him if we did

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:08pm

Well, considering that you and much of Cougarboard refuse to give him credit

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:10pm

Look at what you just said there....6-2...against USU...as if it's a good thing

SouthernAZcoug

11/25/15 12:15pm

The USU of today is not the USU of the '80s and '90s. Why do people ignore this

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:22pm

Are you really questioning why people don't like going from dominating a team

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:26pm

And are you truly refusing to acknowledge that the past 5 years of USU football

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:28pm

all the more reason to step up your game focus and prep for this one...

icecougar

11/25/15 2:27pm

I'm confused- are you trying to make me accept us losing to the Dairy Yewts?

cheezedawg

11/25/15 4:34pm

Yeah, USU today is on the level of Utah in the 90s

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:29pm

Um, BYU went 5-5 vs. the Utes during the 1990s. So BYU should only beat them

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:30pm

I'm agreeing with your point the USU is improved.

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:35pm

Correct, I misread your post.

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 5:14pm

like you said, the USU of the 2010's is not the USU of the 2000's and prior...

icecougar

11/25/15 2:25pm

2 out of the 3 losses to Utah State in over 30 years have been under Bronco

cheezedawg

11/25/15 12:23pm

USU is not a patsy anymore. They're better now than at any time since the 1970s

BeardedSpock

11/25/15 12:25pm

Don't care. I still want to beat them 100% of the time.

cheezedawg

That's fine; so do I. I also want a 100% raise at my job. Ain't gonna happen.

So, what do you want Bronco to do?

Random Walk

11/25/15 12:23pm

BYU has a team sports psychologist

Turnpike Lane

11/25/15 12:27pm

Isn't emotion best when it comes organically (i.e., through the players)?

Random Walk

11/25/15 12:29pm

No, not for most people. Players (especially young players) will get more

Broda

Why are you even trolling this topic?

Sure, but having a coach rub it in EVERY DAY in practice can be great motivation
