Mr. Scoobs All-American

finish since 2003. Worst being 2017. We haven't had football this bad in multiple decades yet generally people think we are going the right direction.

Mangum/Wilson get much more praise than Riley Nelson despite wins/stats being worse.

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?

basman

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

The last 10 years his analysis has been garbage.

WJCougar

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

5/21/19 4:46pm

Who praises a 4-7 season? Link?

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?

fulano

5/21/19 5:01pm

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

johnnybyu

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.
