If we are winning, people will come back and be fine with independence.

Is interest in BYU football waning?

TNT

6/18/18 10:50am

I think most realistic BYU fans don't expect a lot this season. I'd be happy

CougarBacker

6/18/18 10:51am

Yes

STLcoug

It’s on life support at my house.

Nakedbootleg

6/18/18 10:55am

Of course it is.

Gerald-DeGroot

6/18/18 10:59am

Is it a long term or short term thing? It's short term for sure. But long term?

TNT

6/18/18 11:08am

What does ur heart tell you TNT?

Gerald-DeGroot

6/18/18 11:25am

TNT's heart tells him it makes him angry that the Admin doesn't care

TNT

6/18/18 11:28am

Gerald’s heart and brain tell him we are in quite a pickle.

Gerald-DeGroot

6/18/18 11:34am

Agreed.

Mathew

Depends if we start winning

Mr. Belding

I think the worst thing that could happen to an Independent BYU was last season...

BYUtka

6/18/18 11:01am

How many wins?

BYU Fan

6/18/18 11:36am

More... Oh and look like they belong when they do lose. Like they had a chance.

BYUtka

6/18/18 11:37am

It’s just not fun anymore. When I was young BYU was in its hey day

Nakedbootleg

6/18/18 11:10am

That's cause 9 wins as a MWC or WAC member did mean a conference championship...

Coug

6/18/18 11:33am

It doesn't mean as much today because P5 has marginalized non-P5 conferences.

coolblue

6/18/18 11:51am

P5 is no different than it was when it was the BCS...

Coug

6/18/18 11:58am

I believe you are wrong. The lines between P-5 and non-P5 are getting thicker.

coolblue

6/18/18 12:24pm

People who advocate going back to the MWC in order to "play for something"

CougarBacker

6/18/18 3:05pm

I have yet to see a single person advocate going back to the MWC...

Coug

6/18/18 3:13pm

Then, you aren't paying attention

RoyalPuma

6/18/18 7:54pm

Are you serious? There have been countless posts on the subject just in the last

I am about 100 times more excited for NBA free agency.

Ham

6/18/18 11:18am

BYU really needs a good season this year

DanSmith

6/18/18 11:22am

Generally? Absolutely. On Cougarboard? Not as much, but I'd say some, yes.

BlueBlood94

6/18/18 11:27am

Some will claim it, then their butts will be glued to the couch come season time

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 11:27am

Can you say that on CB?

TNT

6/18/18 11:29am

Yes. I just reread the rules. There is nothing wrong with the word "glued."

Y05

6/19/18 4:31am

That's part of the problem. I enjoyed going to the games. I will watch as many

coolblue

6/18/18 11:59am

Maybe if they hire Grimes as the HC? How'd you come up with that as a solution?

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 12:13pm

Fair question. I see part of KS's failure a complete lack of discipline, I

coolblue

6/18/18 12:26pm

That's a REALLY bad example people point to.

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 12:50pm

Then let's just use BYU as an example. How's that?

coolblue

6/18/18 1:57pm

Uh, their defense?

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 2:08pm

I think you're talking about 2 different things though. I will definitely watch

CougarBacker

6/18/18 3:07pm

If the number of e-mails I get begging for fans to buy tickets are an indication

BYU Fan

6/18/18 11:34am

Hmmmmmm.......interesting

TNT

6/18/18 11:38am

I don't feel like there are any more emails than usual. They always send bunch.

BYUtka

6/18/18 11:41am

Yes. More than ever

Mathew

6/18/18 11:46am

See, lip laughs, but from the thread, it looks like a lot of folks agree that

Mathew

6/18/18 1:29pm

Talking to yourself again? Have fun cheering for the Utes.

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 1:33pm

It's yewts, duh

Mathew

6/18/18 1:51pm

You already know he can't and that he's maxed out as a coach.

Lip Gallagher

6/18/18 2:12pm

Dude, he had Taysom and Williams, with some solid defensive

Mathew

6/18/18 2:35pm

That's extremely sad. I hope you find a team to cheer for one day.

Lip Gallagher

BYU football went on a mission, returns in about a year

Y4LYFE

6/18/18 12:01pm

Actually, thanks to health problems from where they went, they're coming back early. They are back on September 1st.

FightingCoug12

6/18/18 12:22pm

"Health problems" aka broke mission rules?

Y4LYFE

6/18/18 1:25pm

Correct

FightingCoug12

6/18/18 1:31pm

Very much so

chazen

6/18/18 12:07pm

Yes. A 4-9 season will do that.

eddog

6/18/18 12:22pm

Don't guage interest by posts expressing any sort of excitement about BYU

StarMan

6/18/18 12:22pm

yes

A Man in Full

For the casual fan, yes.

How can we focus on football when there is a new hymnbook to discuss?

Run-DMT

6/18/18 4:04pm

First time in 22 years I don't have season tickets. Interest is at an all-time

SaintGeorgeYFan

6/18/18 4:09pm

Yep. And it's because the administration has mocked the fanbase with terrible

It has ever since Indy.

TheLoneCougar

6/19/18 7:03am

Indy isn't the problem- Losing and Utah in the PAC12 are the problems

CougarBacker

6/19/18 9:51am

I'm not blaming Indy as "the problem". But interest levels have dropped since
