The way I see it, get your hopes up. Dream. It's fun. It's not real life it's

not like any of us are actually on the team or profit in any way whether they prosper or do well. We are fanatics, fans for short. So be fanatic. Go nuts.

Waiting until you lose to dream of an undefeated season is kind of worthless...

We're fans. Having dumb dreams of grandeur is what we do.

BYU isnt going 12-0. Realistic fans are dreaming about 11-2.

Backcountry

If you are realistic, then you really aren't a true fan. 😉

Fdnman

If that’s realistic, why waste your dreams on it?

DirtyWater

9/21/21 7:09am

We all know what the realistic probabilities are. That's not the point.

Do realistic car fanatics dream about the Hyundai Elantra?

Skeptical Optimist

9/21/21 7:14am

Dude 10-2 is at least a Lexus

Backcountry

9/21/21 9:47am

11-2 would be our best team since at least 2001.

Backcountry

9/21/21 9:48am

We went 11-1 last year. And 11-2 in 2006, 2007, and 2009.

Skeptical Optimist

9/22/21 10:28am

We didnt beat P5s those years

Backcountry

2006 we crushed Oregon.

Ozymandias

9/22/21 11:43am

2007 we beat UCLA and Arizona.

Ozymandias

9/22/21 11:44am

2009 we beat Oklahoma and Oregon State.

We play 6 this year and we are 3-0 so far. The schedule isnt comparable

Backcountry

9/22/21 12:17pm

Now you are just changing the argument because you were wrong.

Ozymandias

9/22/21 12:29pm

Not even a little bit. 11-2 this year is the best team since 01 or 96 because

Backcountry

9/22/21 2:58pm

You said we didn't beat any p5 teams in those years. That was demonstrably

Ozymandias

9/22/21 3:04pm

Relative to this year, we werent beating P5 teams.

Backcountry

9/22/21 3:37pm

You said "we didn't beat P5s those years." Seems like you didn't know it till

Ozymandias

9/22/21 3:40pm

Are we beaying more P5s now than then? Yes. Thats what I meant.

Backcountry

9/22/21 5:13pm

Then you should have said that, not that we didn't beat P5s those years.

Ozymandias

9/22/21 5:45pm

Seems pretty obvious to most im sure

Backcountry

9/22/21 5:47pm

Wait....you think it is obvious to others that when you say "we didn't beat P5s

Ozymandias

9/22/21 6:05pm

Well, yeah. Everybody remembers those games. Had you forgotten about Oklahoma

Backcountry

9/22/21 7:17pm

Yet, what you said is what you said. I have no idea if a yewt fan remembers who

Ozymandias

9/22/21 7:31pm

Do you take everything literally? I think an intelligent individual would have

Backcountry

See there you go again..... saying one thing but meaning something completely

Ozymandias

The REAL realistic fans are thinking "okay, we could end up 3-9" because the

Theres no shame in picking 87% of the last 8 rivalry games correctly.

Backcountry

9/21/21 12:25pm

Real fans are thinking 14-0. Why cheapen the dream by only thinking 12-0?

Exactly. For 99% of us, this is just a diversion. Why not be optimistic?

I've thought about it kind of like I thought about dating Jennifer Aniston

I love our cougs and hope I’m wrong but I’ll be shocked if we beat Baylor

DanSmith

Baylor, VA, USC

Cswilliam01

9/21/21 7:40am

Unlikely but not impossible. I'd put it around 3% chance.

Colorado

9/21/21 7:43am

I think 3.5% is more realistic.

Soy Celeste

9/21/21 8:43am

There are probably three or four teams more likely to beat us than Baylor.

shoganai

9/21/21 8:12am

I just think that will be our first loss tbh

I'm just dreaming about beating USF...

Can't help but think of it. But don't want to be let down. With Pili out for the duration it just got tougher.

Every year I dream of an undefeated season. I was at BYU in 1984.

All fans hope for an undefeated season but understand when that 1st loss happens

Thinking about it is one thing. Sports Media talking about it?? Nah....
