  • Honesty test for BYU fans

    How much does it bother you that BYU hasn't been undefeated for 25 years, and hasn't been to a BCS bowl?

    How much does it bother you that Utah has been undefeated and been to a BCS bowl twice in five years since 2004?

      The same amount that it bothers Ute fans that during their best decade ever they only went .500 against BYU.

        It bothers me that it was only through decades of BYU's consistent excellence on the field that Utah was able to get their 30 minutes of fame in 2004 and 2008.

        OTOH, it doesn't really bother me that Utah has only done better than 3rd place in the MWC once in the last four years.

          1. Very little.

          2. Not at all. I know a lot of people think that it hurts BYU's recruiting, but I think BYU does fine recruiting as long as they keep winning.

            Neither of those things bother me. Undefeated is like a hole in one. It takes a lot of luck. Things that take a lot of luck don't often get my attention if they are or aren't done. BYU has been a consistently good football program for the past 30 years. Not a lot of programs can say that. When you are consistently good, you should be proud of that, not covetous of luck.

            Utah is becoming consistent and, I expect, will find as the Cougars have that consistently good is harder to come by than undefeated. Hell, lots of DII schools are undefeated in DI football this year but that doesn't mean they are the best team.

              Not nearly as much as it bothers Ute fans that they don't have one of these:

                Finite compared to other things that bother me about BYU.

                          My hatred for the Honor Code knows no bounds.

                              1. A little. When you look at 1996 and 2006 I think you have to feel disappointed that those teams let down. Undefeated seasons are pretty rare.

                              2. Not at all. Why should we measure ourselves by the Utes? Eventually good will triumph over evil.
