A significant chance?
That is stretching it . . . a lot.
And our record against Utah has nothing to do with UCONN. UCONN is not in our heads the way Utah is. Utah is not more talented than BYU, but BYU has a complete mental breakdown when we play them.
UCONN is not Utah.

I don't care what Vegas says. If you think Friday's game won't be close

This is acceptable logic

Yep, Bronco is 1-5 in Sep. road games since 2010. Disaster written all over it
coug203
8/27/14 10:19am
AHH! But it will still be August! What's his road record in August!?
Stop_JimmerTime
8/27/14 10:23am
No data. 2-0 in August home games as Head Coach. No road openers in Aug yet.
coug203
8/27/14 10:26am
Virginia was in August. So 0-1
Nikomedes
8/27/14 10:39am
Right you are.
coug203
8/27/14 10:48am
But but but... did you see the Texas game last year?
Smoke Monster
8/27/14 10:21am
By your logic, there would be a significant chance of BYU losing @ Delaware...
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:21am
Uh... I think he did use coaching experience as the reason for his opinion...
Smoke Monster
8/27/14 10:27am
No, no he didn't
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:31am
Uh... yeah he did.
Smoke Monster
8/27/14 10:45am
That's the conclusion you drew from his comments, not the logic he used
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:48am
Ok... enlighten us... why are we wrong?
Smoke Monster
8/27/14 10:51am
UConn is not Virginia or Ole Miss
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:00am
UConn is pretty awful. If they were half-decent, I would agree with you.
rggee
8/27/14 10:22am
Virginia last year was awfuler
Winning
8/27/14 10:26am
No they were not.
2FarGone
8/27/14 10:29am
They didn't know that yet week 1. Everyone is supremely confident.
mulletino
8/27/14 10:30am
Virginia last year had an elite defense but played 11 bowl teams
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:31am
But not as bad as our brand new offense. A half-decent team would've
Mantis Mutu
8/27/14 10:46am
Virginia gets 4 and 5 star guys, UConn does not
mjmill
8/27/14 12:24pm
Correct. But we get more NFL calibre talent than VA.
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:09pm
Not even close
CoopDizz
8/27/14 1:15pm
Over the last 7 years, UCONN more draft picks than VA + BYU combined...
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:23pm
Every coach talks up his players; it's called coach-speak
CoopDizz
8/27/14 1:26pm
So, you are going with "I know more about UCONN than anyone else"
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:31pm
I'm sure plenty of kids in the northeast have talent
CoopDizz
8/27/14 1:37pm
Explain why those "super coaches" with 7 draft picks the last two years
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:44pm
It really isn't complicated
CoopDizz
8/27/14 2:04pm
Or you could say he don't know much about UCONN
sdhusky
8/27/14 3:05pm
Nope. Composed of top-30 recruiting classes.

A significant chance?
2FarGone
8/27/14 10:28am
Utah is as talented as BYU; UCONN is not close at most positions
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:32am
UCONN has had more players drafted than Utah over the last 7 years
sdhusky
8/27/14 11:41am
What were your last five recruiting classes ranked?
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:52am
They don't rank most guys in the northeast
sdhusky
8/27/14 12:06pm
They would rank them if it were worth it
CoopDizz
8/27/14 12:25pm
Wrong. Turns out the services are there to make a profit.
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:13pm
They can't make a profit if they don't do a good job
CoopDizz
8/27/14 1:16pm
Wrong. They make money if they please high spending fan bases.
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:24pm
Which they won't do if they don't do their jobs accurately
CoopDizz
8/27/14 1:26pm
I've seen a Calhoun offer raise a BB player 50 spots without playing 1 second
sdhusky
8/27/14 1:26pm
Yep. It's going to be close and ugly. BYU wins 25-17.
Ham
8/27/14 10:29am
I disagree w ya, but can't fault your take.
Mantis Mutu
8/27/14 10:43am
I fault the logic, not necessarily the conclusions
CoopDizz
8/27/14 10:46am
I'm thinking blowout. But I know history is shaking its condescending head at me
Mantis Mutu
8/27/14 10:53am
History tempers my prediction to 24-13
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:01am
I can see that. You know they're gonna be keying on our run game.
Mantis Mutu
8/27/14 11:29am
history is irrelevant unless there is something connecting it to the present
BlueK
8/27/14 11:19am
Here, relevant history would be the trouble our coaching staff has had...
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:26am
Yes, but I think what is more important are the individual elements involved
BlueK
8/27/14 11:45am
It was the coaches who failed to prepare Hill and the OL
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:59am
Hill wasn't going to be ready to play anyway. It took many more weeks before he
BlueK
8/27/14 12:04pm
That would fall in the "not enough time" part of my post
CoopDizz
8/27/14 12:27pm
I love internet tough guys. Calling you out. If you are so smart
Mayor of Cougartown
8/27/14 10:45am
How about this, other internet tough guy
ChopperDave
8/27/14 11:28am
No response... wow...
ChopperDave
8/27/14 11:38am
You only gave him 10 minutes.
PolarisPrime
8/27/14 11:42am
I'd take that bet
invisible sman
8/27/14 11:47am
You've got a DEAL..
Mayor of Cougartown
8/27/14 12:00pm
you can also require me to change my pic from Ron Swanson to something else
Mayor of Cougartown
8/27/14 12:01pm
ITS ON! That said I hope BYU wins by 50
ChopperDave
8/27/14 12:44pm
I would totally lay some money down... if it weren't for my morals.
Ham
8/27/14 11:36am
it's interesting, some things you can do in day trading on the market are no
Mayor of Cougartown
8/27/14 12:00pm
From everything I've read, Uconn will struggle nightly this year
Real Men Wear Blue
8/27/14 10:49am
And kick butt by day???

I will be very happy with a win.

I don't have a ton of confidence in your ability to read between the lines
CoopDizz
8/27/14 11:55am
Go back and watch the last two post practice interviews.
The Lone Wolf
8/27/14 12:19pm
I watched/read them plenty
CoopDizz
8/27/14 12:26pm
We will see. I'm not making guarantees. Hope I'm wrong.
The Lone Wolf
8/27/14 12:48pm
I agree with you. I hope a blowout but don't see it happening due to history.

If u r so sure, u should b headed to vegas right now...but I think ur right

"significant chance of BYU losing"? Amazing what one single game can do to
Jericho

Vegas doesn't try to predict the outcome of the games
ChunkyBasty
8/27/14 2:12pm
it won't. you'll see

(At the time of this post) Nearly 500 CB members have put in their prediction
