If it were a real benefit, Alabama would be sending its offensive lineman to dig

This. It's such a huge advantage, that no one uses it but us.....

If it was such an advantage, why don't other schools encourage their FB players

RexIdaCoug

10/20/16 12:41pm

By that logic, shouldn't all our units be so dominant?

that's why we rule in hoops...our best players in recent history all were older

What Would Trump Do? Say "it's legal, you let us do it, totally fair"

What would Hillary do? Hire the boss type as a paid agitator.

Eide - no mission. Koroma - no mission. Shoaf - just off mission.

Eide graduated from high school in 2009, pretty sure he went on a mission

Eide went to Brazil.

Easy...everytime just say "if it's such an advantage, why aren't all colleges

Just shrug it off and say "I guess you don't watch much football"

i like it, but i'd use pay attention rather than watch. stings a bit more.

The average BYU player is about 1.5 years older not 2-3.

I exported the roster a year or two ago into Excel and found it to be a year

if that were true, Algie Brown would have gone for 1,000 yards last year

I am not sure if he still leads the nation in these categories, but as of a couple of weeks ago Jamaal led...

BengalCougar

He is at the top of the nation in yards after contact. Is that the Olineman too?

cougaman

10/20/16 12:51pm

Yup, the OL obviously must be "softening up" the other team first.

CougarThug

10/20/16 12:55pm

That must be the hardest statistic to keep track of. What does it mean to be contacted? Barely touching the guy?

Crowgar

10/20/16 5:59pm

Link to "Yards after contact" stats? I can't find it anywhere.

Crowgar

10/20/16 6:08pm

I think I heard it during a game, or someone here linked a twitter post. It was

Seems legit: higher age = better at football. I'm 35, so I am even more awesome

If Jamal was at an SEC school with tose O-Lines his stats would be off the charts.

sakhr

anybody know the REAL data on this? i.e., avg of our starting O-line vs others?

Hopefully you are older than him, if so, take his job because you must be better

cougschwa

10/20/16 2:11pm

he has 20 years on me at least . . .

errhkman

Then he's an old man that is clearly suffering from dementia

yewtsrnogood

that's the tactic I took.

errhkman

10/20/16 2:39pm

What does boss type mean? He isn't a boss yet but will be one?

Gerald-DeGroot

10/20/16 2:23pm

he is one. It's what one of my first managers called managers higher up than him

errhkman

10/20/16 2:39pm

Start by partially agreeing with him, and then say BUT! The mission tends

You say, "If that's really true, cool, glad to hear it."

RebelScum

Tell him that anyone with an IQ higher than 65 could figure out that

He assumes that they have all served missions.

it only is legal if it is church or military service

It doesn't matter what he thinks. Tell him "Who knows, you might be correct".

You are correct Sir! And when you promote me to work under you, this is how I'll
