This is why an independent schedule is better than a MWC schedule.

But what about my personal issues with self loathing as it relates to my inferiority complex compared to Utah?

Wins against good opponents should fix that. Losses in independence mean you are
Coach's Dad

Sure, but real competitors cannot compete if they aren't able to stare at a conference standings race.

Wins against MWC teams are nicer than losses to MWC teams. That is true.

What games in September, in Lavell's era, was remembered the most?

Different times. Nobody cares about bowl games now.
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 1:38pm
Yes... it's different times, where getting to and winning your conference championship game...

I don't want to be a legendary MWC team. No thanks. We already have that.
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 1:46pm
I don't either... but I don't want to be Tom Hanks on a desseted island talking to a volleyball...
Coug
8/20/18 2:12pm
So, you'd rather be on an island with a bunch of chimps pretending to be people?
Pete Way

Have you seen the female chimp? I'm just saying

Well I guess it IS true that these are dark, confusing times in which we live...

Those times were much more fun than current times

Washington, Texas A&M, UCLA, Miami...should I keep going?

And now weigh those against the games in December...
Coug
8/20/18 1:40pm
Those are bowl games...

Exactly... they mean more than the regular season garbage games.
Coug
8/20/18 2:26pm
Now, that is Week 1,2,3,4...in the past we play maybe 1-2 a year, big difference

From January to August, an independent schedule is better.

Uggh, such a loser attitude.
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 1:53pm
Independent have just been more top-heavy- 3/4 good teams the rest bad.
Mr. Scoobs

Name the last quality P5 road win for BYU.
Blue Cat
8/20/18 2:02pm
Why are you putting so many qualifiers on our P5 wins? Best to look at all
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 2:17pm
We play more P5 road games than home. Significantly more P5 road than neutral.
Blue Cat

At the end of the day, he will still view a win over a 4-8 Nebraska team....
Coug
8/20/18 2:39pm
You are describing everyone in the country. Beating names matter. People
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 3:13pm
And nobody remembers our wins over the teams we mentioned...
Coug
8/20/18 3:19pm
We can agree to disagree. You just prioritize more wins over quality wins. I
Coach's Dad

Nobody has made Independence work but 1 team...

Looks like I didn't persuade you. To each their own.
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 3:41pm
Road wins are not the only important wins. Here's some data for you.
Coach's Dad

Since you won't answer my question. Here's some data for you.
Blue Cat
8/20/18 4:04pm
I already told you that your request for that stat was meaningless. Just looking
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 4:10pm
And I explained to you why it mattered.

This is an "attitude" based on 45 years of data. Data which consistently show

How do you define struggled?
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 2:10pm
Winning 40% of your games against P5s = "struggled". Your linked post is only listing home games

Dialing back our schedule? That's what I said! What a loser attitude.

Since when has a G5 schedule with 2-3 P5s mixed in been easy for our program?
Blue Cat

Yep, I understand it. And Holmoe understands it. And I would imagine he would be
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 2:29pm
It's getting really boring having nothing to play for mid-Sept-Dec.
Mr. Scoobs
8/20/18 1:54pm
Recency bias. We have shown we can beat decent P5 teams. Last year is more
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 1:57pm
Nah, I haven't watched the last few games of each independent year in a while

It's all relative. People only started hating the MW when Utah went PAC-12.
Mr. Scoobs
8/20/18 3:07pm
No, we started hating the MWC when they started screwing over BYU

Games may have been fuzzy, but no doubt the seasons were exciting.

That's an ironic response, since you obviously arent interested in trying

Facts vs. Ad hominem and I'm the one who doesn't want to understand your points?

Your personal opinions are not facts. Get real. Have some self awareness

How are SOS ratings, win totals, and top-25 finishes not facts?

Cherry picking comments and concluding everything is 100% opinion is strange.

Other than, like, playing to win the games? Or do you just not like football?

I can't find any rational, non-emotional reason that MWC is better than Indy.
Pete Way
8/20/18 4:25pm
BYU was way more relevent nationally in the MWC.

Maybe. Maybe not. It still doesn't make me care about the MWC or give value to
