Real Men Wear Blue

I'm not talking about just last season.

BYU last played in a major bowl after the 1996 season--nearly 16 years ago.

Moreover, many of the things you identify plague every college football team from time to time. Every team goes in cycles and loses personnel and players.

Real Men Wear Blue
