and hee-hawing about how he's got a REAL football program.

First off, credit: Yes BSU deserves HUGE props for its run over the past decade. It's been amazing.

Secondly: There will always be a stream of laughs and rolled eyes when people discuss BSU football, it will always make you insecure and you will always respond to it by puffing out your chest and issuing challenges that you know you won't have to act on. BSU will continue to win games but its return to above-average-mediocrity is inevitable, probably wrapping up when your HC picks up and goes elsewhere (which he eventually will). The fun may last another five years though, so enjoy it.

Blue fields and WAC schedules just don't lend themselves to longterm success.

Had BSU been in the MWC for the past decade it would have lost another dozen games, minimum.

Saying BSU "owned" BYU in the last "decade" is ultra lame, which of course you know. You happened to play BYU twice at its lowest ebb in most of our lifetimes - and you still needed a missed chipshot field goal to win at home.
