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

And G5 is no different today when it was the Non-BCS. The only thing we don't have access to to as a G5, is the playoffs... But we do have access now to New Years Day bowl games better than we had when BYU won the MWC in 2006 and 2007.

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

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

6/18/18 11:42am

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

Coug

6/18/18 11:00am

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

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.

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

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

yes

For the casual fan, yes.

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

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

SaintGeorgeYFan

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

It has ever since Indy.

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
