I've been a huge BYU fan, but what is killing me is how we have completely

No you know how Utah felt during the late 70s and 80s.

Yes, but the college football landscape has totally changed

and BYU had sucked for like 65 years. I know the feeling.

How old are you? You know the feeling?

as a UNLV fan I understand the feeling of putrid football over a LONG LONG TIME

Congrats on your rivalry win and new stadium

I'll take that

The investment coming into to football in Vegas has to impact UNLV positively...

It is an exciting time, but then I'm reminded of who runs the University and

I agree 100%. AND (not but) we need to beat USF, Toledo and probably SDSU

Kalani has had his issues every year and I really don't trust him, but I believe

Do we not have the hogs to beat Toledo, USF, SDSU? Seems like a coaching issue

Trust me, I have issues with Kalani. But I'm talking big picture program issues

idacoug

Those are fair points. I agree man.

Fred Whittingham was the best hire Utah ever made.

BYU is a national brand to us old people and ESPN, not to young recruits.

idacoug

12/2/19 1:11pm

that's why ESPN still refers to BYU sometimes as "quarterback U"

The fan base makes it a national brand.

Corn Pop

Having fans around the nation does not make you a national brand.

Nice try, UNLV fan. Tennessee is shocked because most of their SEC opponents

Corn Pop

BYU is not a national brand. BYU has fans around the nation because of our

Urban Meyer is their best hire and its not close

darkcoug

correct.

reagan21

12/2/19 1:16pm

Very false. Kyle Whittingham is Utah football. Their Edwards

but do they get Kyle without Urban's success?

reagan21

12/2/19 2:12pm

They don’t get Urban without Kyle’s success

Corn Pop

it's mostly a P5 vs non-P5 issue

run26

This hasn’t happened in basketball (or many other sports).

I think there's a pretty big difference in football.

What does Utah have to do with BYU losing to Toledo, USF, or even SDSU?

We are not getting into a P5 so just adjust your expectations and be happy with

That is a very pessimistic optimistic take

It’s a realistic take

BYU is a strong regional type team, regional as in western.
