ThorLebowski Walk-on

Not comparing successes, comparing LUCK. It only bothers me more as time passes. Traveling the country playing teams like UMASS? You enjoy that? Congratulations on your success.

I’m not mad at BYU. I agree with your assessment.

I agree. Look at an SEC schedule. You will find at least three garbage teams on

He changed the word 'academic' to 'state' because long words are hard for yewts.

If BYU wasn’t an LDS school they’d be in so which would you prefer?

You call it “winning the lottery,” I call it “luck,”

Hey - a lottery winner still has to pick the numbers and buy the ticket.

Is this a really bad troll attempt?

Its badness is what makes it sneakily effective.

Technically, playing UCLA at home is not "making the Rose Bowl"

Maybe they would've had BYU in their top two if BYU had been a P5.

Eddie

It would have absolutely improved, but it's not like BYU was recruiting better

You're failing to account for the magic that happens when doing what's right...

Lots would put BYU in top 2 if we were a P5. Also ones that put us in top 5
