What's with fans predicting next

[Flystripper]

I can see a hard year for the cougs next year. They will have lots of young players at skilled positions. I'm fine with one down year, knowing there is great potential there for following years.

If that potential isn't realized in the years to follow, yes I won't be satisfied.

Even with a rebuilding year BYU won't finish less than third in the conference and won't have more than 4 losses (Utah, TCU, FSU, Washington) Personally, I think they still go 9-3 while rebuilding and lose to Utah, TCU, and FSU.

I like our chances at FSU. We can't play at home anymore and FSU looks like they can't either. BYU by a TD.

Seriously, who (around here) cares about the firesides?

Harping on them is getting old. If CB is making a big deal of them, let CB make a big deal of them.

In general and for the most part, I am in agreement. However, as a faithful subscriber to TBS and reader of BYU boards, we have been outrecruiting everyone in the conference ever since Bronco got here.

How do we go from having the best recruiting classes to other teams having more talent later on? I just worry about this awesome recruiting class a few years from now being called not as talented as TCU or Utah on the field.

Any guesses as to how that happens.

Witchcraft. Either that or those other two coaches can really spot talent in the rough or coach 'em up, as they say. I think it's dumb to go get a fast kid with few offers and try to turn him into a football player or put him in other positions on the field that might better suit his skillset. Oh wait, no, that would be a good thing.

You already tried this lame tactic in another thread and it failed miserably. Why go to the well again?

Eh? It was a valid question.

I assumed he thought BYU would win the rivalry game, but Utah has 2 other games besides that.

I didn't think he was thinking regular season only.
