My thoughts are that I don’t care about that guy’s opinion.

such an eyeroll cougarboard response

I don’t care about your opinion either.

Yeah, actually you do. Just a little. Enough to respond. Thx for letting us know

Why are you convinced that recruiting won't improve? We've lost many potential

Not sure all was P5, on D a lot was scheme and coaching.

Blue for Life

We've lost a handful per year due to P5 status, guys who liked almost everything

That seems correct, there is no reason we should be a bad team more often than

I’d be happy with 50/50 good years vs bad. Big 12 is going to be tough.

Could be right, could be wrong. It's why they play the game and we buy the tickets.

Nil isn’t helping byu lure top recruits

There's enough top LDS talent to upgrade our recruiting — the only question is how much of that top end talent

That’s garbage. Look at Our record against P5 last 5 years, it will only

Except now the P5s will be B12 instead Conf of Chumpions.

Soupie

Ok fine, most years will be middle of road. But we def won’t be cellar dwellers

Scott_Tenorman

Also check record vs B12 over 20 years. Also, over .500. Off the top of my

Northwestern played for big ten championship in last 5 or 6 years.

cwilke1

3/30/23 3:28pm

1 of every 6 yrs in Championship is best case scenario. I mostly disagree

Plato

I didn't look before posting that. Finished top of the pack 2 and bottom 4

Doubt we are cellar dwellars that often

Just as long as they aren’t the Indiana of the Big 12

I don't see BYU being as horrid as Northwestern has been last few years.

There's one thing that distinguishes BYU: QB Play

AltTabbins

I talked to a guy at work who said we'd be the ALABAMA of the Big12

rotorhead

3/30/23 3:42pm

Exactly what I would expect from someone that attended those schools....

ordinary tri guy

3/30/23 3:46pm

Whatever. Exclude Utah and hasn't BYU been over .500 vs P5 the past 12 years?

mulletino

3/30/23 3:52pm

The problem might be most of our "P5" wins might be "WAC" wins in a year or two

My concern is will we be spending the money in the same way as other schools?

Just for the record- Northwestern HAS WON the Rosebowl.

Pretty fair.

This guy is stupid. Don't listen to him-- look at the past few years

BYU will never be a Northwestern. It was a dumb comparison.

Sounds reasonable

kotacoug

Chicago resident, no chance BYU looks like a 'Big12 Northwestern'

I don't think our recruiting will dramatically improve. I think it will

GSwarriorcoug

3/30/23 4:10pm

Our recruiting right now has actually been really bad from a ratings standpoint

We should be bowl eligible 5 out of 6 years.

you can't be a "tough out" but be the bottom of the conference

Hill4Heisman

3/30/23 4:19pm

yes you can if the team loses a lot of close games. A close loss is a clear

cwilke1

3/30/23 4:23pm

And those typically go 50/50 over time. So 4-5 or 5-4 in conference isn’t dead last.

mulletino

over a huge sample size they can even out. no guarantees that within a single

cwilke1

3/31/23 6:36am

Yes which also means the close games will also swing in our favor on occasion.

mulletino

Better to be Northwestern than Indiana or Colorado

akbarishiwatsu

3/30/23 4:29pm

I think we’ll be average. Mostly middling with some really good and bad years.

canofpicante

3/30/23 4:36pm

I think we'll spend more time in the middle of the pack than at the bottom...

Kalani is very reliant on his coordinators . . .

figuring out the injury bug is the next big hurdle IMO
