failure with occasional small wins. Byu can't "just win" majority of the P5 games on the road. Heck they're struggling to win P5 games at home.

Is that Jason Buck on Criddle right now? Respect him, but completely disagree.

If you disagree strongly it's Buck

New Mexico was a legit sellout in '06 when a MWC title was on the line

I don't think independence and attendance are correlated though. Attendance

And even our "sparsely" attended games draw more people. They'd

Our worst attendance since 2003 would sell out their stadium.

Would they?

The fact that Chris hill doesn't really want to expand tells me he doesn't

Their games against SUU and North Dakota aren't exactly

P5 conference...bad argument

BYUSwoop

9/20/17 7:30pm

That was because we were 9-2 and fun to watch

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:43pm

2006? The year we went 11-2 and were ranked? Had TCU and Utah in the conference?

PJMort

9/20/17 3:48pm

You mean 8-5 Utah? Or #25 TCU? Those weren't the same TCU & Utah teams as '08-10

CaliWG

9/20/17 4:08pm

Yes I mean UTAH and TCU. Does it really matter that Utah went 8-5?

He's talkin out his butt, I'm convinced. Doesn't care about BYU's success 1 iota

Plus I think it would hurt recruiting

9/20/17 3:40pm

Recruiting has been worse since we left the MWC.

Turbine

9/20/17 3:48pm

Since Utah started recruiting against us with a P5 label you mean

jkccoug

9/20/17 3:53pm

BYU doesn't go head to head with Utah near enough to make the difference.

Turbine

9/20/17 3:54pm

Do you follow recruiting...we go head to head for most Poly recruits.

BYUSwoop

9/20/17 7:34pm

It's not utah hurting you

BigT801

9/20/17 4:06pm

Maybe so. But still a function of Utah going to P12 IMO.

jkccoug

9/20/17 5:17pm

I think it is though! I don't have time

BigT801

9/20/17 6:33pm

No I agree with you. Its common for teams to recruit harder in their conference

jkccoug

9/20/17 7:16pm

Gotcha

The whole NY6 thing might be in question anyway. If in 2025 when the P5

I've seen the "just win" mantra on CB since Indy was announced...

Zach Morris

BYU has some of the most unbalanced schedules in CF. So hard to "just win".

Same mantra at every team. Hopefully BYU figures it out.

I think he's dead wrong. Living in the past. Uncle Rico to a T.

He has turned to the Yewt side. Wore UofU gear to the Rivavly game.

Seriously? I don't want to believe that about anyone I have respect for.

panguitch

That is what was reported. I didn't personally see it.

BYUtka

9/20/17 5:53pm

I saw him. Just liked like a grey shirt. No byu or utah stuff

SUAVO

9/20/17 6:45pm

He stood 20 feet from our seats most of the game. No Ute gear that I could see

BYU football has made it clear that independence > G5. That position minimizes

NO NO NO NO never go back to a G5 conference.....
