2024 BYU Football - Year 2 in the Big 12

[Goatnapper'96]

Ever wonder what the predictions for this season would have looked like if we had won those two games vs OU and OkSt at the end of last year? The dire predictions for this season seemed a bit too heavily tied to a couple games that were very close to being BYU wins.

Many years ago I concluded that somewhere at Martins Cove or along Rocky Ridge the mormon people buried their testicular fortitude and covenanted with God to never access it again. I keep hoping the children, unencumbered by said covenant, will rise up and stop being pussies-who is with me?

Allow yourself to enjoy it. Almost every P4 team on that chart has played a similar schedule.

I'm enjoying it!

BYU has also beaten the line in every game so far...

By double digits.

This is awesome, but it's about to get real.

Off topic . . but I absolutely HATE how long it takes to find out what time a game starts. trying to make plans for the 28th, but dont know if it's a day game or a night game. Isn't normal etiquette for invitations at least 2 weeks?

ESPN typically reveals their broadcast plans on Mondays, so it's usually at least 12 days of notice. Not great for you people who like to plan ahead.

My freshman year was 94. It was hilarious to hear all the people in the stands that would yell “Put in Clements!”

And BYU fans are hyper focused on when he messes up to the point, they’re unable to enjoy it when he does well overall and the team wins.

Dumb to be critical about his performance overall in the first and third games. He struggled against SMU.

The most unfairly criticized BYU QB of all time was John Walsh. How the hell the qb could get the blame for losing a game where the team scores 56 points and he throws for over 600 yards, instead of the defense getting the blame, is beyond me. But it really happened. No internet back then. The radio sports call-in shows were the place for idiot fans to say stupid things and there were a lot who couldn't stand him.

TV decides it, and 10 days before is usually when espn/ABC announces times. The other networks often give more notice than that.

Remember when we played Kansas last year and BYU fans wished we had a QB like Jalon Daniels? He currently has 442 yards, 3 TDs and 6 interceptions through three games. We tend to be selective on what we see.

JR will lose us some games this season. But I expect him to win a couple and just manage the game to couple more.

That's the real problem with Retzlaff. Sometimes, he's absolutely as bad as BYU fans say he is. And sometimes, he is absolutely brilliant, making as many big-time plays as anybody in the country. The inconsistency is maddening.

BYU fans are delusional/irrational about Jake Retzlaff. He isn't nearly as bad they say he is.
