Maybe we should ask ABC to cancel the broadcast so we can get more people to come watch it live?

Some (most?) BYU fans that live in Utah are fair weather.

Some (most?) [insert school] fans that live in [a state] are fair weather.

Yep.

Too bad there aren’t more like you in Utah.

If we would actually beat Utah we wouldn't keep bleeding fans to Utah.

Is BYU football as exciting of a product as it use to be?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

9/13/19 10:52pm

Does it matter?

a priori

9/13/19 10:53pm

Yes it does. CFB is first and foremost entertainment.

YES. Yes it does.

It shouldn't matter. Loyal, strong, and true.

Just more PC.

Yep, that's encompassed in what I said.

People pay money to be entertained

I always find BYU football entertaining. Sometimes for good reasons, sometimes

If they scored 3 points a game and gave up 50 per game

Huge Manatee

9/13/19 11:07pm

I'd find a way to make it entertaining. I'd probably complain about the coaches

a priori

9/13/19 11:09pm

It is getting to be that way for me and many others

Huge Manatee

9/13/19 11:12pm

Let me help.

9/13/19 11:14pm

Is it too much to ask to be better than Utah State?

Huge Manatee

9/13/19 11:15pm

I'm not a fan of Kalani, so they're honestly pretty low.

9/13/19 11:19pm

My point is that many of these fans don't even have unreasonable expectations

That is a puzzle to me, too.

We are locked into the Hawaii Bowl. Isn't that correct?

Bowl game?

This attitude is proof of blatant pessimism or just pure trolling....

Embarrassing, and sad.

Indy and the losing streak have sucked some of the passion out of the fanbase

A lot of people went home from the Utah game

Not sure that is what 777 is saying

Exactly correct. Have to start winning & draw kids in now, or we will lose more

We most definitely do NOT have more national respect than ever.

I can say this: if we win tomorrow the stadium will be packed for Washington

Have you checked the attendance at OR, WA, UT and A&M's last games?

Probably. What drives me crazy is when ppl schedule baptisms and weddings on gameday. 😉

Get off the Utah fanbase. Some of us drive hours to the game.

You’re right, I really mean “Wasatch Front” rather than “Utah.” Props to those
