BYU vs. Purdue

[Pelado]

It seems you are satisfied with moral victories.

BYU fans are constantly beset with moral victories and heart-breaking losses. The loss to Purdue is a bad loss as Purdue is predicted to be a mediocre team. We would occasionally like to have the Butler experience and win games against big name opponents in the clutch. I enjoy the progress Haws has made, but does he ever make a clutch shot against a big name opponent. Although Purdue is a little more than chopped liver, Haws had his chance in the first over time and failed. We just never seem to get over the edge.

Perdue being predicted as mediocre doesn't mean that they are or will be mediocre. We just don't know yet how good anyone is - including BYU.

I had low expectations at the beginning of the year, but this is a good team. We hung with SDSU and had a chance to beat Perdue. I don't care how they were projected, Perdue will be a good team. Haas will definitely be an NBA player and Hammonds probably will be as well. Tyler, KC and Fischer are the best threesome we've had in a long time. We won't beat Gonzaga, but we'll be good this year.

[Topper]

You mean like the clutch shots he made against Sdsu to bring us back and send the game to overtime? I am wondering if you ever notice the clutch shots he makes.

Okay, game winning shots. I like him. I just wish he had a signature shot winning a big game.

You mean like this one.

That is his biggest so far. He had chances against the Aztecs and Purdue.

Last year Texas wasnt special.

[Clark Addison]

Didn't he hit one against St. Mary's right before Dellavedova's half court game winner? We didn't win the game, but it was basically a "game winning shot" as far as what Haws did.

Also, doesn't this belong in the "Tyler Haws is Not a Prime Time Player" thread?

BTW, welcome back, Topper! For the past few weeks someone has hacked your account. He still didn't know shit about sports, but he pretended not to be psychotically depressed about everything related to BYU. You might want to change your password.

Welcome back yourself.

It is difficult to be in the right place at the right time. I was certain Haws was going to sink the shot against Purdue. I have no idea why you feign more knowledge than I.

I simply pine for BYU to succeed and moan when it fails. You have a major logic fail. Not the first time nor last time. Solar systems.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I have no idea why you feign more knowledge than I.

That is not an accurate assessment. It would be more accurate to say that I can't think of a single poster here with less sports knowledge than you. I have a cat that sometimes sits on the couch next to me while I watch BYU sports. I bet she has more insight into sports than you.

I hope that is clear.

[Topper]

And you complain about my sense of humor.

In fairness, your assessment is true only because Finderson was banned.

Ha. Remember when Findo told us about his experiences playing HS (little league?) football? Good times.

I just dont cater to conventional wisdom. I could be boring like you and spill the party line. I imagine i have participated in most athletic endeavors than most fans.

I could say, Haws carried BYU with his coring punch hitting clutch but just couldnt hit the last hard shot.

Or I can stir the hornet s nest by stating he doesnt hit the game winner.

Which stimulates more discussion?

I see. So you are just a free thinker trying to inject some thoughtful discussion into an otherwise boring, robotic group?

Looks like project Self-Awareness for Topper is going to be much more difficult than I imagined.

When have you ever injected a novel thought on sports? You have no insights into sports. Pot meet kettle. You are the least self aware. And quite boring on matters of sport.
