Ok. If that makes you feel better.

Be honest, do you truly believe the records would be the same?

BarraCouga

I think we played very well against UCLA. And still lost. Not sure that we

...and Michigan would've kicked our butts at home too.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 8:14pm

Yeah but Michigan would have kicked Utah's butt any game after that first game

Do you disagree? Do you think Utah would win that matchup after week 1?

Bgash

11/28/15 8:50pm

One thing matters. Utah beat them.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 8:58pm

To you. Objective observers would say Utah got a big advantage...

One of us is foolish enough to believe that W/L tells the whole story. Got it.

Bgash

11/28/15 9:21pm

It's what matters.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 9:22pm

I have data. BYU never lost at home. Not once. Never.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 9:24pm

I know that Utah beat Michigan. And Michigan beat BYU.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 9:33pm

So. One data point in a million. That theory gets shoot 10 times a week...

Ok. If that makes you feel better about your team losing one more game than

Ignore reality. It clearly makes you feel better. And I think you need that.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:07pm

Fantasy is imagining "what-if". Reality (that I live in) is what actually

I think it sucks. It's you trying to make yourself feel better with mental

If ignoring the history of sport makes you feel better. Go ahead. Ignore it.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:23pm

If ignoring the actual W/L records make you feel better, good on ya, bud.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:27pm

I didn't. I simply acknowledged the reality of home field advantage.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:36pm

Look at my very first post. All I said was that W/L is all that matters. It is.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:41pm

If that makes you feel better. I like context. That's just me I guess.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:45pm

Context makes you feel better. It doesn't get you a W. Which is what matters.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:46pm

It does if you play at home. Statistically. Precisely my point.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:56pm

Ok

MantiCoug

Not today. They were awful in games 1 & 12 this year.

Apples and oranges: BYU played 3 of 4 on the road, Utah played 3 of 4 at home
