Yep. The best 10 year stretch of BYU football not including the year 1984...

Yup. No conference, no access to money bowls, losing to rivals consistently,

I would say 2006 was "remotely close".

Pretty early in the thread to bring up that straw man. There isn't a fan on this

You appear to watch sports in binary: Either you have an undefeated season or

2006 wasn't close to what Utah accomplished in 2004 and 2008...
Smoke Monster
5/5/15 2:03pm
Thats right!!!!! Two whole plays were the difference in 2006......
PolarisPrime
5/5/15 2:09pm
One OT loss on the road is the only thing that separates 1996 from 2006. How is
db59840
5/5/15 2:09pm
I just want to understand where you are coming from...
Smoke Monster
5/5/15 2:20pm
BYU 2006; AZ makes 52 yd FG to win, Utah; TCU misses two 20 yd FG to lose.

In 2008... 1st week of Novermber Utah was ranked 10th...

I don't get your argument about when teams were ranked...

Utah smoked Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.....

Yes. BYU was lucky to win all their games in 1984. To be a champion you have to

That, or you need to look up the terms "remote" and "close" in the dictionary.

1974-1983?

That's the only other comparable 10 year period not including 1984.

Which proves that it's not a given. Crowton couldn't do it. Bronco has done it.

Bronco has had plenty of time and has plateaued
Tip Tucker

So by plateaued you mean that barring injuries last year...
PolarisPrime
5/5/15 1:53pm
last year was an awful schedule

Last year was an awful schedule??????
PolarisPrime

This year is a very good schedule
Tip Tucker
5/5/15 2:18pm
You really believe it was one of the best ever?

Losing badly to Utah State at home and 4 straight against Utah hurts so bad
Rise Against
5/5/15 1:35pm
Plus trying to ice a kicker on a PAT by using two crucial TO's. Ouch.
Rise Against
5/5/15 1:36pm
Plus....I know this will require therapy to bring up again, but.....Riley Nelsen

You mean Hill the freshman who was just back from a mission?
PolarisPrime
5/5/15 4:41pm
Yes, that same guy that almost single handily won us the game against Boise
Rise Against
5/5/15 7:36pm
So, I agree that Hill would have been better....

If you can't own recruiting in your own state there is a problem
Tip Tucker
5/5/15 2:10pm
So both BYU and Utah are in trouble.
Blue Cat

I agree it is bad for both schools

Not really.

Also, Crowton didn't get to hire his own staff of assistants, he had to carry...

Or if Luke Staley had stayed for his Sr Season.
PolarisPrime
5/6/15 10:56am
Sorry. Crowton muffed it so many times in so many ways. Hard to defend
Coogar2
5/5/15 5:24pm
he did make a lot of mistakes but just about anyone would in his situation...
icecougar
5/6/15 2:30am
Crowton's biggest mistake was not honoring the honor code with his recruiting
Q-grr
5/6/15 10:04am
I think it was more that he didn't realize
PolarisPrime
5/6/15 11:01am
The biggest issue I have with this is all evidence points to the contrary
Still Questing
