Still convinced BYU would have won the natty in 2011 if Davies had played.

Nah. It wouldn't have happened.

It is not our people's way

Even 1984 football championship - so many dissenters bc we weren’t allowed in

Blue streak

1/26/21 11:36am

Probably not, but the path to the Final 4 was definitely there...

Iman23

1/26/21 10:04am

8 seed butler would have been the only thing in our way from the final.

Icelandic Cougar

1/26/21 10:06am

That’s assuming we would have had the same path with Brandon.

Kavorka

1/26/21 10:08am

True, and we did beat SDSU both times with Davies.

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:17am

Honestly, we should have been a 1 seed.

Jay Rick

1/26/21 10:42am

So probably an easier path?

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:09pm

Maybe, but maybe not. The way it shook out BYU had a great path all the way to

Kavorka

1/26/21 1:05pm

This^^^ is the truth. Best path was what we had drawn

7FootRussian

1/26/21 1:43pm

We don't really know, other teams would have changed too. So path might follow

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 1:59pm

I’m convinced we would have at least played in the NC had we defeated Florida.

Kavorka

1/26/21 10:05am

I’m convinced it was our Final Four year and more than that was possible but not

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:06am

Still one of my worst sports moments when that news dropped

Ojiisan

1/26/21 10:16am

It dropped here first iirc.

1/26/21 10:34am

I don't think we beat Uconn. Big time matchup problem for us.

I will die on this hill

YIsForBrigham

I do to.

I’ll never forget the national announcer saying on TV with disgust

OU Cougar

1/26/21 10:32am

Like the rest of the world is a great measuring stick these days

Indy Coug

1/26/21 10:34am

Not everyone felt that way

TADOW

1/26/21 10:42am

You are thinking of Harvey Unga. Davies got married in 2015.

Bert609

1/26/21 10:42am

I don’t think he married the girl.

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 10:44am

He definitely didn’t

LakeshowCougs

1/26/21 12:00pm

yeah different girl...

jwf

1/26/21 10:55am

And different athlete, different sport.

Soupie

1/26/21 11:15am

But he’ll never forget it.

Corn Pop

1/26/21 11:41am

I saw a lot of positive press actually. BYU did something that literally no

Ash

1/26/21 12:34pm

Not sure because almost no other schools could have been in that position. Most

kos

1/26/21 12:59pm

Yeah that may be true.

Ash

1/26/21 1:07pm

Yeah, he's thinking Harvey. Who BYU didn't handle well, imo.

SinkingQuffa

1/27/21 3:00am

Chris Collinsworth too. What a team

shimmy

1/26/21 11:04am

This is a great point. Davies was a talent you miss no matter what, but Chris

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 11:25am

and yet it took OT to beat us. w Davies no doubt a runaway for BYU

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:13pm

I still think it’s a tough game, but no inside presence on offense definitely

rivercitycoug

1/26/21 12:16pm

BYU wins that go away with Davies

slatecoug

1/27/21 10:58pm

And yet we were only a missed free throw away from beating UF in regulation.

BigCougarLover

1/26/21 11:23am

imagine if Tyler had stayed around one more season prior to mission.

claw

1/26/21 11:46am

That is the hypothetical where I am convinced.

stoils

1/26/21 12:46pm

How does Haws influence whether Davies slips up with a girl?

D.T. Survivor

1/26/21 5:16pm

First of all, that’s not what I meant

stoils

1/26/21 6:40pm

Is that the one where he practices at the church with Marty every morning?

D.T. Survivor

1/27/21 8:30am

No, there is an actual instructional video on how to run a YM quorum presidency

stoils

1/27/21 3:06pm

Those are the kind of championships too many BYU fans are up for. Too bad.

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 11:49am

Definitely had a great chance for Final 4

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 12:08pm

With the weak playing field we had a legit shot at it all. It is what it is,

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 12:13pm

IMO, seeding goes out the window for the final 8. All teams are playing well.

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 12:17pm

Not all years, but that year, absolutely.

SinkingQuffa

1/26/21 12:19pm

Me too. We beat FL and Butler. Imagine Jimmer vs Kemba what a game!

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:12pm

Better yet Jackson vs Kemba 🙂

ImuaKahuku

1/26/21 12:20pm

Wasn't that the year Butler couldn't buy a bucket in the Championship game?

Ash

1/26/21 12:36pm

Neither could UConn. Worst title game in history, from what I can tell.

Coop

1/26/21 12:59pm

ditto

Beetdiggercoug

1/26/21 12:45pm

Same. Losing Davies still hurts me to this day. What could have been

Why don’t they players just wear two masks??
