Who freaking cares if we're in the MWC? We already play 5-6 of their teams this season as is.

Conference membership gives the team something to play for. Former players

Love them but they're remembering the good ol'days. This isn't the 1980's or 90's

I would hope that any former player worth remembering would have been motivated by winning any game they played in.

But what if they get a gold star for squeezing past UNM and Wyo in November?

That's a nice fantasy, but the reality is that it doesn't work that way.

It's a fantasy for players to be motivited to just win games? Weird.

The only goal in indy is going undefeated. Lose one game and the next goal is 6

Right. There are no other possible goals. Makes sense.

Qualifying for a bowl, qualifying for a bowl with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 wins, finishing ranked.

As a g5 we have access to better bowls and a top 25 ranking. Scientific fact

How many times in BYU's history as a G5 has it gone to a NY6 bowl? Once. Ok, so we'll go back and qualify

Utah and tcu aren't in the way now. It's realistic. More than going undefeated.
Backcountry
10/12/17 12:02pm
Right and Utah and TCU's calibre wasn't in the way from 1900-2003 either. We went to the Cotton Bowl once.

10/12/17 12:03pm
But we did it. That season is remembered as the second greatest in BYU history.

I'm pretty confident BYU will do something great over the next 68 years or so. And it won't require demoting ourselves

Indy is a minor league

Nothing about our schedule and future schedules is minor league. But hey, it's not illegal to have an incorrect opinion

You must have missed that some G5 teams have a better SOS. We can still schedule

Btw, your tone and arrogance are reaching lip Gallagher levels. Tone it down.

You said there was no other goal as an Indy after your first loss. It's a moronic stance. I corrected you.
mulletino
10/12/17 12:03pm
No, I said the next goal is 6 wins and bowl eligibility.
Backcountry
10/12/17 12:03pm
Correct. My bad. I then corrected you with a list of other goals that are obvious.

What you don't understand is that BYU is and always will be the B team.
