The state of BYU football

But if those three do split, and BYU wins 3 of the next 10 titles do you think the Y fans are going to be happy with that. I don't

That wasn't the point of your post. You basically said that Utah and TCU would win all the titles (like the arizona teams of yesteryear). If BYU wins 30%of the titles, that's good.

Runnutz, before the Arizona schools it was Wyoming dominating.

Hmmm...what happened that Wyoming would suddenly take such a big plunge?

That's silly, since the start of football '72 Wyoming has had a share of the crown 4 times.

As a fan of BYU life is always much easier when I view the FB team the same way I do BB. They are what they are; they are neither horrible nor elite. For some reason that is a hard pill for many Cougar faithful to swallow.

BYU BB it could be argued has been as successful or more so than football and yet the enthusiasm is just not the same. Perhaps it is the sport itself.

I myself though am becoming more of a FB fan in the same way I am a BB fan. I watch every game and hurt when they lose. However, I only attend the big games in person.

They got distracted with indoor plumbing.

Wyoming's coach (Lloyd Eaton) kicked all the AA players off the team because they said they would boycott a game against a racist college. I wonder how long Boise would remain a ranked team if Peterson did that?

Of course, we all know that boycotts are the worst possible thing a human being could do to another regardless of the cause.

wow livecoug

you certainly can read things the way you want.

Maybe with you the Y winning 30 per cent of the titles is alright but it wont be with the majority of the Y fans.

Bronco will not coach the Y for long as he will get a higher church calling.

I know some husbands who would agree with you.

BYU fans won't be happy until they get to a BCS bowl.

If your point is that BYU now has competition in the form of Utah and TCU, that's obvious. Yes, most Y fans are delusional in thinking BYU should win every year. Maybe I misunderstood, but you made it sound like BYU was done, basically. I think all 3 teams will compete yearly for the title.

Again, how many fans think BYU will win in 2010?

Amen brother. BYU=Boise St. lite

I wish I was older, I probably could have gotten into BYU when it was a JUCO.

MWC Championships don't mean much to me as a BYU fan. If the MWC gets an AQ bid, then yes I'd have a whole different take on the subject. I'll take our victory over Oklahoma if it meant giving up the MWC title.

The problem with the MWC, if our Champion doesn't go to a BCS game, then they are playing in Vegas. We need better bowl tie-ins and Thompson is not getting it done.

I realize that Ute fans would like to claim these last two years as the demise of BYU football, but it really says more about the lack of knowledge Ute fans have. Two years does not make a football program. With the recent history of the Ute program, their fans would like to think this way. Remember only four years ago, BYU was coming off a 6-6 season. Before that was even worse. Since then BYU has multiple 10 win seasons, two MWC championships and two bowl wins. That doesn't seem too bad to me. BYU is still working through the damage done in the Crowton years. Now if BYU struggles with TCU for the next five year I will be concerned, but two years is nothing big.
