I actually just subscribed for this article and can confirm 10/10 worth the $5.99 for a one month subscription

This article is the best I've read on BYU in years, so well researched. And this

They need to switch Kamrani full time to BYu. No need for Utah coverage

Did the Bears players hassle anyone else? They knew BYU and made the effort to

Yes they were, I know of instances where players were harassed for being

Agree. It was infinitely better than our other options at the time.

Did you read the article or just the quotes? If not, the article largely

I just read the quotes. I don’t have a subscription to the Athletic.

Highly recommend - the quality, and depth, of coverage is so, so good IMO

Weren't a lot of CBers promoting how great Indy was?

TNT

Indy > G5. That was the extent for most

TNT can admit this. He doesn't like you LC. You kept BYU out of the AAC

This is exactly what it was. For me I was all for Indy, because it separated

Especially the MWC. The AAC I think was more debatable, especially these past

Nostalgia probably was a lot of it

P5>Indy>G5. Still true.

Indy was the best BYU could do when being dealt a bad hand. Better than dealing

The great part was getting away from "The mountain" network, and Hair Thompson.

BYU played the Indy long game...and won. It was always a means to an end...

FUN FACT for those wanting an Athletic subscription: if you subscribe then click on cancel

MOST quality journalism has died; it's not just Utah
