I remember the losing years of Crowton and the one down year for Sitake; those were not fun.
Winning is much more fun. I can see why Bama fans stay loyal. It's improbable BYU goes undefeated, as any one of five games could sneak up and bite BYU, USC is a trap game but BYU will have had some rest to prepare. Boise, Baylor and Virginia are all dangerous too.
Winning cures a lot of ills. Go Cougs!
