    Well I can't speak much to fans complaining about #s 1 and 5. I am sure you have heard complaints. I usually ignore stupid complaints that make no sense.

      Then why are you LOL'ing at the BYU fans that voice those complaints?
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Indy finally admits that he doesn't care about accuracy. I have always suspected as much.

          I'm not quite sure what to say. But I like to think that if I was going to be somebody's groupie, they would at least meet goatnapper approval.


          I have to admit, for whatever reason I kind of enjoy an argument now and then. And when people throw out absurd opinions as being fact without any basis or criticize over actions that when taken in context aren't as illogical as you might think - I like to think that I'm a voice of reason. For whatever reason, I just can't let that go. I probably have that in common with Indy.

          My experience has been that Indy backs up whatever argument he is making with stats. They may be his interpretation. There may be other ways to look at them. But I appreciate the fact that he doesn't tend to throw out subjective opinion based on biased recollection as being fact.

          If that makes me a groupie - well...whatever.

          In complete disclosure...I was a bit of a Crowton defender. I don't recall ever saying he was a great coach - I just thought there was enough REAL stuff to criticize him for that it bothered me when folks started making stuff up or criticizing things he had no control over, ie: the same day travel for the Reno game. Looking at the circumstances, I thought that decision might be questionable, but wasn't as cut and dried as folks made it out to be.

            You must be totally embarrassed now that Indy has confessed that he doesn't care about accuracy.

              The accuracy revolves around the fact that these are complaints that can easily be found about both coaches. After living in the Philly TV market for over 5 years, listening to local sports radio about Andy Reid was often like deja-vu all over again after reading Cougarboard about Bronco.

                Sorry for dragging you into this Eddie. I have tried to explain myself in the same way that you did, but no one chooses to listen to me or believe me so I figured your additional credibility as an "unbiased" party would come in handy in this instance.

                      It is sort of pathetic that my suggestion that Bronco could succeed in Philly has been buried in a thread that has turned into the aggrandizement of Indy.

                        That does it. I am downgrading you from "lovable jerk" to "likable jerk".

                              I'm not worried about it. I don't always agree with you, but still appreciate the approach.

                              So - if football was 5th in Philly, what would come 1-4?

                              I also think he'd have to re-sign Chad Lewis so that someone could speak at the firesides. I've been to one Chad spoke at - he's pretty good.
