Yeah, I really think that's a big part of it. They are just trying to protect themselves. But I agree with you--enjoy

I graduated from BYU in December 1984. Watching the team that year was an awesome experience. Hoping and getting a win

Yep. I love this BYU team, but it's delusional to think they're on the level of

Huh? That Bama team was ranked #4. 12-1 going into the Sugar Bowl.

Yeah, you didn’t get my post at all. Or more likely you’re inferring something from it that relates to another argument.
