....was it the coaches fault for playing him.....or Riley for insisting he could play even though he knew he had back issues.

Watching him play that game was so frustrating as a fan.

Aside from annoying antics - I can't dislike BYU's players.

This is a terrible take. The guy gave all he could to BYU. Yeah, he wasn't the greatest, but I have no doubt he did

Thats on the coaches. You don't blame a player for giving it his all even

It's fine if you love a guy as long as he tries his hardest. Not everyone has

I have been tired of Marc Lyons for about 10 years now. Glad for the change.

It's a great day for a football game!

I won't miss him at all. I do miss Paul James....but won't miss Lyons

WJCougar

5/21/19 5:03pm

Yup. But it's nostalgia. Same with Paul James.

Eddie

5/21/19 5:27pm

You miss Paul James, but thought Marc Lyons last 10 years were garbage?

Yep.....Paul James was the best. Marc....not so much.

The last 10 years his analysis has been garbage.

As a player or as a commentator?

Also, this guy was a king in Logan and he spurned the Aggies to play at BYU. Love him for that.

I admit I thought he created a divide at the time but now that I have seen how

Won 8-10 games/season and now we praise 4-7 win seasons. It's sad.

Mr. Scoobs

Who praises a 4-7 season? Link?

SandYFan

5/21/19 4:50pm

People are still going bonkers over last season despite being the 2nd worst

Mr. Scoobs

5/21/19 4:57pm

So you don't have links.

2012 we finished 26 in sagarin. Riley was thrown under the bus constantly.

Mr. Scoobs

5/21/19 6:19pm

Who is praising Mangum in the last two years?

Riley pre-injury was good. Wasn't his fault that even injured coaches thought

This board never liked Riley because they thought Heaps was the Savior

I am a fan of any player who scores a td and gives the ref a high five.

I really like listening to his insights. He's got a good football mind

The dude left his rib cage on the turf at LES. I think it's still there.
