We’ve been seeing single or no loss predictions of our record for a while. I think there was a poll in the spring or winter that was, in my opinion, quite nearly insane in its consensus. Like guys…. when do we ever not drop random games.

If people recall this board was pretty certain Zona would be our toughest game of ’24 if we were to play. But the national discourse sort of dissolved our (and apparently the team’s) worries.

It’s possible but I think good programs that permanently tank like nebraska are an outlier. It’s really more like when you lose a shining star of a coach in their best years you won’t reach those heights again for a long while. As opposed to not being able to compete at all when you lose your coach. Zona just smacked our legendary coach in the…[Read more]

Everyone loses it eventually. Doesn’t matter what your resume says when the time comes that you’re no longer cut out to do those things anymore. Even Saban was slipping, and well… he made the hard but correct choice.

BYU’s center went down yesterday and it was quickly announced he wouldn’t be back. Not good!

Yep. Whitt’s all spent. This team would benefit incredibly from a change at the top. All of these issues are old, they’re all known. There isn’t any use wasting time wishing that things change when we know it’s not possible. ’23 alone was a fireable offense of grand scale mismanagement. But the building case against Whitt has been culminating for…[Read more]

I would call him but just adding him to my contacts made him fall over. I tried to tell him that contacts in a phone and contact on a football field are two totally unrelated things but he just fell over again before I could finish.

You’re an unconvincing BYU fan.

OC and HC are fossils. We are stupid to expect something they haven’t shown in 15 years.

I think that Arizona is a better opponent than most hoped. And college football will always surprise you, I think they win that game 8 times out of 10, they were the better team. But we had every reason to win and botched it. This is just the latest in an increasingly common trend of unpreparedness and collapse. Whether it be headscratching…[Read more]

Who were we missing that was instrumental in beating a team like northwestern?

wow it’s actually coming down to the last possessions.

OSU is outclassed and bruised.

I don’t think the game is in serious danger for BYU but baylor is kind of outlasting them at this point and their center went down and won’t return.

The entire 2023 season was a WTF game. But in the spirit of answering your question a good number of our recent bowl games have been wtf games. We haven’t showed up to play in a bowl game (excluding Ohio state) since 2017. They’ve consistently been our worst efforts of the season.

Theyre definitely good but they’re also benefiting from a lot of breaks. I think they’ll continue to find success but these runs of points won’t continue. Like KSU Baylor is moving the ball on them but isn’t translating. You can’t rely on that indefinitely, points on the board will regress to the mean

Baylor picked the wrong game to have a hangover on and these BIG12 enironments just aren’t hostile.

Baylor with another later dirty push on a QB. Half the distance to the goal. Good to see dirty teams get punished.

I don’t think anyone on this board necessarily needs to be reminded but week after week it’s becoming more clear the old BIG12 have vastly overestimated themselves.
