Confess your unpopular BYU football opinion (#confessyourunpopularopinion is

Anae was a very, very good offensive coordinator

Anae part I was pretty good.

BYU doesn't belong in a P5 conference

BYU isn't willing to spend the money necessary to compete or show that they belong.

I disagree- I think other schools are willing to spend more than they should. There is a lot of things AD departments

It's an arms race and BYU can't/won't compete

DrKennethNoisewater

TNT agrees with this

Many of these schools could face stark changes in fortune and find themselves owing millions without a revenue source

Ty's success as an OC will never come close to what many think

I can't stand wrubell as our play by play guy...

freeedomguy

8/6/17 3:31pm

This is interesting. He gets excited, and is a huge homer. But is fun.

rtNelson

8/6/17 3:44pm

Absolutely, I guess mine stems from him going all Eeyore when BYU is down...

freeedomguy

8/6/17 3:48pm

Wow. Who DO you like doing PBP? I've been watching and listening for 50 years

Almost every Utah fan I've met in person has been pretty fair

What?!?!?!?! No!!!!!!! This can't be happening!!!!!

Agreed.

For me, I see it as something that makes us unique. I'm all for that

Sir_Ten

Unique, in a bad way

I love the popcorn popping song

MaxxPower

The O line is going to be middling at best.

HenderCoug

8/6/17 3:33pm

Most BYU fans don't appreciate how good we have it.

DanSmith

We just had this thread a week ago.

eddog

Bronco took us two steps forward then took three steps backward

CoogsWin

8/6/17 4:02pm

I agree. 8-5 < Crowton

ChinoCoug

8/6/17 7:19pm

Kalani will have a hard time beating Bronco's 9-win average over 11 seasons

BeardedSpock

8/6/17 7:41pm

And with kalanis schedule bronco would average 7-8

CoogsWin

8/6/17 9:55pm

The dark navy block-Y helmets of the Crowton era were amazing!

Utah isn't better than us.

Little Britches

Conversely, if magic doesnt happen, if Harline drops the ball, or if Andrew

Rise as Utes

Exactly. The games are always close, indicating the teams are close

I truly believe if the student-athletes live right, it will manifest itself on

#1. BYU will never go to a college playoff, let alone win another NC. #2...

FierceArc

8/7/17 2:28am

Oops... meant for OP.

FierceArc

8/7/17 2:28am

Why do we do this to ourselves?

8/6/17 4:52pm

That Sean Covey never should have started a game

Tom Trails

8/6/17 4:57pm

Independence is actually better than being in P5

8/6/17 5:08pm

I thought our O-Line did a good job last year

Judge Judy

8/6/17 5:14pm

and I think they'll be better this year

Judge Judy

8/6/17 5:17pm

I agree with the Judge

hammergm

8/6/17 8:42pm

I don't care whether or not fans wear team colors to games.

Roko's Basilisk

8/6/17 5:15pm

The vast, vast majority of BYU fans are idiots when it comes to football acumen.

8/6/17 5:21pm

And as such, being on CB during a game is the worst place to be.

8/6/17 5:25pm

Listening to the fan comments while watching a game in LES will confirm this

BeardedSpock

8/6/17 7:35pm

I don't like our offense and don't think it will work in this NCAA climate

darkcoug

8/6/17 5:46pm

BYU gets 8 wins this season and we lose to Utah.

Turd Furguson

8/6/17 5:50pm

Find me 5 losses (or 6 with a bowl game) on this schedule. I'll wait.

andrewg3

8/7/17 1:20pm

LSU, Utah, Wisc, BSU, Miss St. Oh, and if we manage to win one of these games

Turd Furguson

8/11/17 8:34am

Oh, and I think SwagDaddy is a way better RB than Staley.

Turd Furguson

8/6/17 5:53pm

That Squally never should have lost that year of elegibility.

lightmann

8/6/17 5:58pm

BYU will beat both LSU and Utah this year.

CopperLix

8/6/17 6:29pm

Taysom is vastly overrated by cb

Little Britches

8/6/17 6:43pm

Couldn't disagree more (which makes sense you'd bring it up)

hammergm

8/6/17 8:51pm

I should say that his final season was disappointing and his legacy overall

Little Britches

8/6/17 9:55pm

Didn't we just have this discussion a week ago?

8/6/17 6:51pm

Independence > P5

VGoodwin

8/6/17 7:04pm

BYU fans should not be allowed to talk about social justice issues.

ChinoCoug

8/6/17 7:21pm

Both Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps were better QBs than people think

BeardedSpock

8/6/17 7:31pm

Jake Heaps got screwed over in 2011. R Nelson should have never been a QB at BYU

Holy Driver

8/6/17 8:07pm

We would have been better off losing to Utah State than bringing in Riley

For awhile my goal in life was to make lots of $ so I could buy a suite at LES

CFMcK

Mo langi won't succeed and wasn't worth the scholarship

MikeDitka'sStache

8/6/17 10:31pm

If nothing else, the PR is worth it.

Paco

8/6/17 10:45pm

Have the same feeling but hope it's not true.

8/7/17 12:57am

So many options....

8/6/17 11:10pm

Mangum is a good QB.

conetah

8/6/17 11:18pm

I know this was meant as a reply to the OP.

I really liked the time Joe Glenn flipped the bird to Whittingham

We need to run the score up on Utah when we get the chance.

The love affair with coach Lamb is way over the top

StantonMac

I like Bronco more than Kalani

coolblue

Can't understand this, but okay.

Turd Furguson

8/7/17 7:57am

Bronco was Awesome.

Gorum the Old

8/7/17 9:13am

If by awesome you mean he was awesome at beating teams worse

Turd Furguson

8/7/17 10:32am

As a unit, our OL will be average.

RedSox

8/7/17 7:24am

They will Stomp on the "little 8", but will get completely stuffed vs the P5 Ds

Gorum the Old

8/7/17 9:19am

Taysom Hill was not accurate enough to be a legit pro style QB.

Quacker

8/7/17 8:09am

BYU should play Hawaii every year. Priority over Utah St. game.

boscatar

8/7/17 8:44am

I really liked Bronco's firesides.

Gorum the Old

8/7/17 9:25am

This thread is way too long. It hurts my thumb.

8/8/17 2:06am

Just thought of this one today- I hate Greg wrubells idiotic biased stats

1984coug

8/8/17 10:48pm

That Squally will be a bust.

Shore10

8/11/17 2:46am

GFGH is good for our offense and fit our geographical advantages

ChinoCoug

8/20/17 4:32am

Double edged sword... our defense was getting worn out after too many 15 second

1984coug

8/20/17 1:40pm

We still outscored opponents 3-to-1 in the 4th quarter in 2015 when we were
