Confess your unpopular BYU football opinion (#confessyourunpopularopinion is

Anae was a very, very good offensive coordinator

8/6/17 1:44pm

Anae part I was pretty good.

Anae pt 1 had better talent to work with, IMO

The numbers don't reflect that it was awful

The number don't tell the whole story. ESPECIALLY in this case.

BYU doesn't belong in a P5 conference

Why would you say that? Is it a moral stance or some quality you feel BYU doesn't possess? We all know your a BYU fan

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

DrKennethNoisewater

8/6/17 1:49pm

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

SouthernBlueBlood

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

SouthernBlueBlood

And by the time that happens, if it happens, BYU will probably have dropped sports.

This is a football thread. Not baseball and basketball facility thread.

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

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...

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

Unique, in a bad way

The O line is going to be middling at best.

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

We just had this thread a week ago.

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

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

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

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

MikeDitka'sStache

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.

Can't understand this, but okay.

Turd Furguson

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.

I really liked Bronco's firesides.

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