And those legit issues could derail a special season really fast in the next 2 weeks. And in ugly fashion. Sitting back fat and happy just because of a W is no way to approach it either.

Happy to be 4-1. Worried how sloppy and undisciplined this team has looked the last 12 quarters.

We have some very immature fans.

We understand ND and Ark are going to CRUSH us because our run D blows chunks

They are likely to beat us because they're bigger programs with more resources

My problem is that even if we go 11-1, I don't see the committee ranking us high

Who cares? Control what you can control and enjoy the ride.

That's no reason not to enjoy the season. We all know the limits of independence

The impossible expectations which are only fueled by great play.

Very few BYU fans were frustrated last night because of limited NY6 access!

100% on point. Last year we get boatraced in NY6. So we are mad that we aren't

Bro we will have a top 40 schedule... just stop. If we get excluded at 11-1 we

shamc

Agreed.

Zoobieman

9/30/22 10:12am

Yeah...everyone's egos are running amok. We won, enjoy it. No need to create

shamc

Agreed, I'm really enjoying this season. You're going to have ups and downs

When you allow the 101st ranked offense to completely dominate your defense for 1/2 of a game;

If the defense hadn’t excelled at taking the ball away

The point you and the OP are missing is that this particular game should have been put away by the end of the 1st half,

Why would we not discuss opportunities for improvement on a fan board?

I think people will be much happier if BYU can at least split Arkansas and ND

2% chance of 11-1, 23% of 10-2, 50% 9-3, 25% 8-4 or worse. This is data science.

bruincoug

9/30/22 9:58am

About 50% chance of 10-3 or better. I think most would have taken that a 3rd

NYC and Japan

The challenge is that expectations rose early for a special season and these

The hand-wringing and incessant criticism coaches, players, and refs gets old. 😑

Never expected BYU 4-1 at this point. That seemed unrealistic in preseason.

The problem is that when we lose 4 out of the next 7, it ain't going to feel

Thankfully, that won’t happen. We’ll done proving the point of the OP

Ark = loss, ND = loss, @BSU = prob loss, @Stan = prob loss, @Lib = maybe loss

Being negative is way easier than being positive.
