I must have received 10 tweets yesterday from various Utah sports writers talking about how the BYU defense is practicing really hard. Quotes from players with "a new attitude" now that practice is more intense. There is talk of resurgence now in essence because they are practicing correctly. My question is how in the hell did it take 5 games to realize they weren't practicing hard enough? I really don't get it. I can understand the head coach turning over the D to his coordinator, but surely he looks in on practice and deems it sufficient or not, right? This whole situation is very strange.

Practice? We're talking about practice man. Practice.

Very strange. I listened to the Bronco show with Wrubell taped last night. Even more strange. All of a sudden they're going to start working hard? And the players are using Bronco's example of hard work as their motivation, the guy known for never getting on a plane to recruit anyone and getting home early to see his kids?

I hope I heard it right and you didn't. We will have to wait and see I guess.

I am surprised all you desk jockeys are surprised about this. What is he supposed to say? "I just fired the DC and I am now running practices and our defense has looked as imposing as Urkel in his underwear but, hey, nothing will change, it will just be the same, becasue we are just that bad!"
Of course he and the players are going to say things have changed. He is going to do his best to make it feel like things have changed. ANd he is oging to try to convince tehm they can also change the perfromance/results on the field.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

A little disappointed with the losses but hey it's a rebuilding season. Still looking forward to watching them improve. Now Bronco comes in and we get all this fight honor spirit work bs and I just want to puke."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline.
