            Talk of BYU's demise us greatly exaggerated. I think BYU is in the discussion, many pundits are talking about major changes to the entire system at the next BCS contract, though I think being I'm the BEast is superior to being Indy I think the situation Wilkins be ever evolving for the next couple of years.

            Keep winning BYU, it'll work out.

                  I'll bey Italians probably don't differentiate between BYU and Utah football, I can concede that. However, with the launch of BYUtv we are by far and away the easiest team to watch in Italy and likely to become the most popular college football team in Italy, Western Europe, and China.

                    Being the most popular college football team outside of the United States is like being the most popular Albanian First Division team in Nepal, but if that day comes, I'll buy you lunch.

                      Exactly. Not surprising it take another Oregonian, to be the voice of reason.

                      When has BYU ever been talked about more, without being in the top 10, let alone top 25? I have come to dislike Independence, much more than I anticipated. However, to act like BYU has ever been more than an occasional blip on the national radar, is revisionist history. The only difference I see, is our old dance partner (Utah) got invited to the prom, while we are still home waiting for someone to heart-attack us - granted our old honey is still fat, ugly, and has a nasty case of acne, but that is beside the point.

                      To my knowledge, BYU has played in exactly one semi-big bowl (1996), and had two basketball runs, 30 years apart, that were headline news. Otherwise, we usually beat bad teams, play competitive against similar competition, and generally lose to better teams. We are no more or less relevant than we were a decade ago, and likely will be about the same a decade from now. We are who we are, why is that so hard for most to accept?

                        No it's not.

                            It hurts that you didn't get the joke, especially in light of the earlier reference to Brazilians rioting over the loss of their BYU football simulcast.

                              That was Brazil. Brazil is not in western Europe or China.

                                Don't let it hurt you. Il Pad has always been a bit slow on the uptake (Emery County roots).
