It's a bout time BYU fans take the LaVell approach---

And just say we think the team has a chance to be good this year, then let the results speak for themselves.

CBers need to gang up on people who start NY6 or playoff talk before mid-November. It is time to actually learn those lessons.

Talk is cheap, and of late, cheap talk is all we have in spring, fall and September. After that, we just look stupid. Yet again.
