Go ahead and compare teams on paper if you have no other choice. But if they

actually played?! It’s done. That’s why you play, that’s why you keep score.

If we’re just gonna do paper, don’t play the games. Folks get injured and it costs a lot of money and stuff. Just tally up something else. Mass of linemen, Recruiting rankings, Vertical leap, Number of moms dated, etc., etc.

We play the games for a reason.

PSA for Utes and Aggies who aren't intelligent enough for smack talk.

Eh. We had injuries up the wazoo and had been snubbed of a better bowl game.

No excuses, it was a bad loss any way you cut it. Should have never happened.

8/9/22 3:17pm

Sorry, I take the blame. Havent seen BYU win on the road since 08.

I'm actually ok with it. Cougar fans have always been shot down by Schrute fans

That is true, but you know we'd be doing the same thing if Utah had beaten us last year and then lost to Arkansas State

Speak for yourself. In years that we lost to them, I wouldn't mock them

Neither would I, so welcome to the club 🙂

Nope

That ridiculous huh? So was Texas A&M better than Bama last year?

Yes. When comparing two teams head to head, the most definitive way is to

Wait, so Texas A&M lost to Miss State. So Miss State is better?

Medute

When comparing those two teams? Yes. One is the winner. One is the loser.

Yes, in that one game. Glad we agree

It’s football. Football. You determine who’s best on the field, not a calculator

The game was designed to pit two teams against one another on the field

So Boise State and UAB were better teams than BYU last season? You honestly

Yes. Absolutely. Thats how one team trumps another, by beating them on the field

It's pure math. The U has one less fan due to the too numerous toxic U fans.
