I'm a fan of BYU, but don't know why we constantly feel the need to drag Boise down - it reeks of insecurity

Just win. Everything will take care of itself, if they win.

They aren't getting the players they need to restock at the levels they were playing at. Maybe guys like Sears who go

That might be true if any one of them actually jumped at the first opportunity.

I didn't say first opportunity--I said first "good" opportunity. Reading fail.

None of them left for the first good opportunity. They got good offers regularly

Yes, they peaked 10 years ago.

Even if that's true, that's still better than peaking almost 40 years ago.

Yep. BYU won a NC in the 80s. That is the pinnacle. (I like and root for BSU)

If you think you can draw any conclusions from the game last year, you're crazy.

oh wah wah wah, don't think so, football is football, and missing personnel is part of it, covid or not. That's like us

I also need to add, I think it's funny that you equate losing one player to not

LOL yourself. You just see what you hope is happening. As I once said.

I think the same is true in the reverse. You can't assume that because you lost without Bach or Sears, and your RB that

Personally, I hope BSU becomes a blue-grass dumpster fire and remains relegated

I don't. It's good for BYU for Boise to be a good program
