Isnt the focus nor is it the next step in progression. We could beat utah and lose 10 games. That is not progression. More wins..more wins over good teams. More wins over p5 trams. Beat utah is the progression.

So say Phil Steele is correct and 3 of the first four games go our way but we lose to Utah

Yes.

We would all be bummed after week 1.

I’ll be happy about 3 and bummed about 1

I think that he said they were toss ups meaning BYU might get 1 or 2

I have O/U for the first 4 games as 1.5

I’m just hoping BYU can make a bowl game

BYU Fan

TBD, we’d be ranked high but it would have to stay

We’d be happy and would all believe if we played Utah in game 5, we’d win. As result, many of us would count that as

No. We can't keep losing to Utah.

SoCalCoug

No. I'd take a win over Utah and 3 consecutive losses.

A true fan. 😭

Sorry, Utah boys, but these are terrible takes.

If everyone in your circle were arrogant Ute fans then you'd feel differently.

DraperCoug22

I've lived in Utah and chose to leave. You have the same choice. Your selfish

Ash

6/23/19 3:01pm

Haha. Okay so you're one of those who is above living in Utah. Makes sense.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 3:03pm

Above living on Mommy and Grandma's street? Yeah that's what adulthood

Ash

6/23/19 5:44pm

Utah has more than one street, but okay

I never said I WANT to lose the next 3. I'm responding to the hypothetical OP.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 3:04pm

You made it clear that spite is higher than success on your pole.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/23/19 3:17pm

No, the spite was a bonus. You're forgetting what the options were in the OP...

The people disliking my comment are the usual culprits of CB cynicism.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 2:56pm

Or it was just a pathetic post.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/23/19 3:14pm

Its a terrible take. We could beat utah every year and lose the other 10 games

CarolinaCoug

6/24/19 6:04am

We simply disagree. To say it's a "terrible" take is just condescending.

I’d rather be 2-2 with a Utah win than 3-1 without

JOPE

6/23/19 9:59am

Absolutely and we are still relevant on a national level. We'd be talking NY6

Ash

6/23/19 10:43am

Yes

Pretorian

6/23/19 11:16am

Yes! I’d wager most of us outside the state don’t care about Utah

The reality remains...

How often is he correct?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

6/23/19 12:04pm

Did Steele really say BYU will win 3/4?

Srg

6/23/19 12:07pm

He said toss up but if they went our way...

Cheesy Gordita

6/23/19 2:59pm

Absolutely yes!

Yoopercoug

6/23/19 12:59pm

Of course. But losing to Utah every year is killing the program more than people

Gerald-DeGroot

I agree with the second sentence, big-time.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 2:54pm

I think people realize it PLENTY

cajuncoug

6/23/19 3:43pm

There are apparently many here who don't realize the gravity of it.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 3:45pm

Not happy about losing to Utah but happy to be 3-1...

icecougar

6/23/19 2:45pm

Yes

NorthwestCoug

6/23/19 3:25pm

Incredibly stoked actually. Have we ever done anything like that?

cajuncoug

6/23/19 3:42pm

UW is better than Utah, so if you say BYU beats three but lose to Utah

Heinz57

6/23/19 4:19pm

That would be super frustrating - would likely mean BYU clearly a better team than Utah this year...
