Since Bronco isn't going to look the other way while his players take steroids

BYUtiful

Its tough to take steroids with random NCAA drug tests

Cougarlove

Actually, it's not tough at all; and tests are anything but "random"

What do you think Bronco has been doing since the bowl game?

1/8/13 7:27am

He's been in Hawaii.

checoug

And Saban doesn't take vacations?

He has probably been getting home be three to get a break from having to stay

Agree with everything you said

1/8/13 7:28am

Even if he puts in Sabin like effort....

WJCougar

But it could have gotten us to a BCS bowl by now.

You know, its not the time and effort. You know that right?

He has publicly said it

Everytime the anti bronco cite some quote its always out of context and

bald man

1/8/13 8:02am

This. Bronco quotes get stretched to the point of incomprehension.

TexasCoug

1/8/13 8:30am

Then answer this. Why would Bronco make such a statement at all?

CougFanInWA

1/8/13 11:43am

Why did Lou Holtz always poor mouth his own team?

I think you mean "can't understand reality."

He trusted Doman, it turns out he shouldn't. Thus Doman is gone.

ManicBlue

Bronco could do better... He chooses not to.

kotacoug

More time doesn't necessarily = better

kotacoug

And how many reps does BYU put in compared to other teams?

Bronco has said one of his criteria to recruiting is level of success

Currently, not on offense. BYU has historically used a combination of
