BYU vs CSU official thread

LOL! That was pretty funny.

I was trying to explain the Ziggy story to my sister in law and she asked me: "are you ever embarassed by how much you know about these seemingly insignificant players?"

I could only respond: "you have no idea."

I got it baaaad so baaad, I'm hot for Cougars!

I'm embarrassed for people who don't know about Ziggy.

I feel embarrassed right now, not knowing about Ziggy.

I'm sipping the kool-aid, but can't bring myself to predict a beat down. I sure want to think the offense has turned the same corner the defense has, but need at least two data points to determine a trend.

It'll sure make the Utah game interesting if we can ruts a bit on CSU and NM though.

I'm not thinking about RUTS at all, especially on the road. Winning and putting up more than 25 is a mark I can live with. As I see it, I think scoring around 30 and another workmanlike effort is on tap. Boring, but if it brings this strange season to .500, I can live with it.

-5? As bad as CSU is and with BYU making improvements, I thought it would have opened higher than that even on the road.

Considering BYU hasn't won a road game since 2009, and its average loss margin on the road this year is more than three touchdowns, -5 seems like a a ringing endorsement of the recent turnaround.

Ziggy is the poster child for the BYU player that everyone will talk about and talk about and talk about -- but ultimately doesn't do a darn thing before their eligibility is over.

Big, fast African immigrant. This is his first year of playing football and he is like the 6th fastest player on the team at 6'4" and 250 lbs.

His name is Ziggy and he is fun to watch.

I would think that BYU line is easy money. I will the Gambling experts chim in on that one. I am not one of those.

I stay away from betting on crappy teams to cover on the road. The Kool-Aid tastes great, but I am going to stay away from the cougs this week. I think we win and it would not be surprised if we cover but I don't think there is ever easy money with crappy teams on the road.

Sorry to have to refer to my Cougs as crappy. This team is better today than they were a month ago ago but destroying UNLV at home with an extra week to prepare does not give me enough confidence to say that -5 in the road at CSU is easy money.

I will tell you this Ziggy was not happy getting cut blocked at the end of the UNLV game. He did however almost run down UNLVs QB late in that game.

He is also studying to be an actuary, so there is still hope for him on some level.

Do actuaries ever get laid? That is something he might want to consider before going down that course of action!

I told my son about him when he went in to watch for him. My boy: "he's not that fast. he sucks." Seriously I try my best to be a positive influence. It just comes natural in the family. He does look like he's got straight away speed but not football quickness. He looked a little cumbersome.

I am with Indy's opinion of what his contributions will be, but I don't think his God given quickness is the issue. The guy has absolutely no clue what he is doing on the field. I doubt he gets enough clues to take advantage of his God given abilities before his elgibility is exhaused.

I would not expect much from him. That is my wife's motto and it has led her to 14 years of marital bliss!

I bet if you and your boy stood next to him you'd find he is really 6'1.

Rams already talking some serious sh** up in Ft. Collins. Saying they "hope" to win their last two games

“You can take a lot of good things out of this game, especially in our pass game,” Sisson said. “We’re going to get better on offense and defense. We’re starting to show people now we have a bright future.”
