If next year's team is the best team since last year's team, that means that last year's team was better. I'm arguing against that proposition.

I still don't follow, but I'm not the brightest star in the sky.

I would say that next year's team has the potential to be the best we've had since the Danny Ainge era. Thus, the "very long time."

Ok.

Ok.

Every team is the best team since last year's team becaseu each year's tema is the next team after last year's team. the ocmparison only becomes relevant when it is made against e BETTER team. So saying the best since last year's team implies that last year's team was better.

Right. He think's '81 is the best team.

I'm not sure there ever has been a darker horse.

How would you have characterized the shade of George Mason's pony in April 2005, coming off essentially a .500 season, heading to the FF the following season?

My old friend, I have no desire for a urinating competition with you. But my thinking is this. That George Mason team could do many things, they had five guys in double figures. BYU is desperately one dimensional and as we saw against K-State a long guard with a athleticism can contain Mr. Fredette.

That doesn't get a team to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tourney let alone to the final four.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Jimmer. He seems to understand the concept of not being a douche more than most guys who are athletes at BYU. But he's not going to be able to get you there.

lol saying BYU has as good a chance as George Mason to go to the Final Four speaks volumes. Anything is "possible".

I wasn't looking to cross swords, or streams, but was alarmed at an uncharacteristic lack of imagination on your part. Here on CUF, we're all about service, and I just wanted to expand your horizons a bit.

More careful readers would correctly infer I was suggesting BYU's odds are much better, but I understand your blinkered approach to the rivalry and forgive your predictable boneheadedness in such matters. Since Mason's FF odds in early 2005 were approximately 1:1,000,000, and I'd place BYU's in early 2010 at 1:1,000, BYU's odds are vastly superior.
