was favored to beat by 33.5 points. Not the end of the world but probably not worthy of a parade. Beat SDSU and you will see the same fan reaction as wins against BSU and USU.

Do other teams get to count those as wins or is BYU just held to a different standard with FCS games?

Utah is 8 - 1 now (they decided to not count their ISU win)

Wait, did the game not count or something?

I don't count it. It was a scrimmage.

Strange. What other non rule rules do you have?

Nice! You have a non rule rule you like to follow and seem concerned that

Ozymandias

Yep! CB is a great place for expressing opinions!

SandYFan

11/17/19 12:07pm

And mock others for following actual rules rather than non rule rules!

My rule is to mock silly opinions mercilessly. And this is one.

We're on our way to a 8 or 9 win season, on top of having beat BSU. Pretty cool.
