Lol. Actually being better than last year is exactly what "improvement" means.

Optimistic about BYU football. We're on the rise

hammergm

12/18/18 1:56pm

And we absolutely destroyed Utah in the 1st half

ChairmanOfTheBoard

12/18/18 2:00pm

Just need to see results now. Can't keep losing to Utah, USU, and BSU each year

Dangerous

12/18/18 2:04pm

Last year and this year have worse finishes (sagarin rating) than any year under

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 2:06pm

Cool. Let's complain as much as we can and make CB a cesspool.

boscatar

12/18/18 2:10pm

I thought that's what we had been doing.

12/18/18 2:14pm

So...maybe address the validity of the comment

Winning 9 consistently isn’t the standard

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 6:26pm

What finish should be the standard? 112 last year and 80 this year

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 6:34pm

I never said 6-6

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 6:37pm

And for over 45 years we have averaged around 9 wins a season

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 8:39pm

9 wins a game is impossible

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 9:28pm

And 6 < 8. Any objective way you slice it, the program has been worse

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 9:38pm

We can’t even have 9 good things happen in a game? Man we are horrible.

Playing WAC and MWC schedules

boscatar

12/19/18 9:16am

MWC SOS has been tougher than the schedules over Kalani, Bronco averaged over 9

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 9:17am

Now, go back and look at who we were playing.

boscatar

12/19/18 9:45am

Your first sentence is just not true. SOS factors all those things in.

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 10:11am

Team was beat up after AZ, Cal, Wisconsin and Washington, 3 on the road

boscatar

12/19/18 10:19am

People used that excuse during the 4-9 season too.

Blue for Life

12/19/18 10:29am

No one else plays four P5s in September - not even P5 teams.

boscatar

12/19/18 10:35am

Kalani has 4 wins vs. bowl teams in three seasons. It's not because the schedule

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 10:38am

What would it mean then since you seem to be partial to statistical-based

basman

12/18/18 2:12pm

That the worst finish in multiple decades shouldn't get a gold star just because

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 2:24pm

Nobody gives this season a gold star, they give it a C+ because many things were

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 3:13pm

"On the rise" for a C+ season shows how far BYU has taken a step back.

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 3:17pm

We definitely have taken steps back but we lost a lot of close ones. Also 8-9

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 3:21pm

Disagree somewhat....It's a myth so far that our sos is tougher under Kalani.

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 3:28pm

I don’t trust SOS

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 3:35pm

And we lost to them....Kalani has 4 wins over bowl teams in 3 years.

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 5:34pm

I don’t think Broncos schedules were tougher

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 5:48pm

Bronco played 7 — seven — P5 teams in 2013. More than any BYU coach

BeardedSpock

12/18/18 7:15pm

One was a bowl game for Bronco

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 9:31pm

FMCougar

12/18/18 2:22pm

like they say, lies, lies and statistics. Crowton got blown out by MWC teams.

ImuaKahuku

12/18/18 2:58pm

And Kalani has lost to bottom 10 teams UMass and ECU with much easier SOS.

Mr. Scoobs

12/18/18 3:16pm

I hate to break it to you, but Kalani is getting blown out by MWC teams too

BeardedSpock

12/18/18 7:17pm

Lol. Actually being better than last year is exactly what "improvement" means.

MaxxPower

12/18/18 11:22pm

Yay for the 2nd worst finish in multiple decades!!!

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 7:07am

This season hasn’t been any worse than 2010

puntersarepeople

12/19/18 9:09am

2010 finish = 45. 2017 finish = 112, 2018 finish= 82

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 9:21am

Wait a minute. isnt being better than last year the definition of improvement?

jkccoug

12/19/18 5:47pm

Program is “on the rise” for the 2nd worst year in decades?

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 6:10pm

Meh. A lot of that is statistical noise from before we switched QBs.

jkccoug

12/19/18 8:20pm

Fact remains the program has taken a step back from just a couple years ago.

Mr. Scoobs

12/19/18 8:52pm

I agree about Wilson, and the DBs

antiyewt

12/18/18 2:17pm

Defense scheme isn’t great, but I think they were worried about young players

puntersarepeople

12/18/18 3:16pm

Finished the regular season 19th in total defense I believe.

Adrielle

12/18/18 2:39pm

As long as we get some new coaches the sky is the limit. These coaches

Blue for Life

12/18/18 3:31pm

We have very good coaches Cougarboard is a cesspool of negativity

hammergm

12/18/18 8:04pm

You are right it is a cesspool of blue googles with our great 6-6 record.

RE: You are right it is a cesspool of blue googles with our great 6-6 record.

hammergm

12/19/18 1:40pm

And your solution is to fire all the coaches?

hammergm

12/19/18 1:46pm

Where?

Y4LYFE

12/18/18 4:41pm

We need Ula to come back in a bad way

idcougarfan

12/18/18 5:42pm

Still have a terrible recruiting class. 78th isn't going to get 8+ wins.

blackshirts

12/18/18 7:31pm

I hope you're right. Too many dumb dumb losses, especially Utah.

Resurgens

12/18/18 8:43pm

CB needs more posts like this. The downers are getting louder and louder

MaxxPower

Even in the face of measured progress
