We're talking about home openers across a broad range of years
Not about any specific season record. If you don't think home opener stats mean anything I suppose that's your prerogative, but I think most people think they mean something.

How does BYU NOT start the season 0-4?

Agreed. Might as well not even play the games. #LowT

you don't understand fans – or the fact that we're something like 9-1 against P5 teams in season openers the last 10 yrs

Stats are not a good way to justify optimism with THIS coaching staff.

I’m sorry. Whiny posts expressing confidence are not merited or realistic.

It's probably as likely that BYU starts 4-0 as it is it starts 0-4. So who's being irrational?

Is there another website we could meet up at and make a wager on that?

False statement.... The fact BYU will not be favored in one of those games

Good call! Though as long as we're nit picking the effs out of every statement possible I did say "probably as likely"

I'd say great call!

I'm just commenting on your first statement, 4-0 vs 0-4. Crazy.

6/19/19 8:20pm
Again. Cool. So we're talking about 6% likelihood of going 0-4 and 3-4% likelihood of going 4-0? Pedantry!

This is exactly my strategy! 0-4 baby! Then we are stoked when we win!

Of course you don't see it. If all you look at is the "glass-half full" factors

Correct. That's why I was asking.

There are a host of reasons, but also some of your premise is wrong.

Three home games helps.
