Miami Bowl 2014 - BYU vs. Memphis

[imanihonjin]

we had a winning season and went to a bowl game after losing a heisman candidate, the best rb since harvey, our best defensive player/captain, and with a first year defensive coordinator. knock it off.

We lost to Nevada at home. The best win on the schedule was Houston. This defense was supposed to be the deepest D BYU has had under Bronco. The offense was not the problem. The D wasn't good even before the injuries. Our schedule was incredibly soft and we still only managed an 8-5 season against crappy competition. Sorry, there isn't any gloss you can put on this season. It was plain awful.

I personally have received several calls from colleagues back east asking me if their children were safe to go to school today as a result of the fight. The last 20 hours have been hard to deal with emotionally.

LOL, one guy, yea the Oklahoma fan, came into my office and said it was a fun game to watch. Thought our guys fought hard and then smiled and said, even in the brawl.

I told him we have fans that are very worried about the BOT's feelins and how this affects how non-members look at us. He said, wow, you guys really do have a bunch of pussies for fans. No one gives a crap about your little brawl.

Again, i think the magnitude of this string pulling from the fan base is a direct result of Utah's success. I also think in general BYU fans in Utah are bigger babies than those outside. But a lot of that comes from interactions with insufferable Utah fans that excel at trolling.

It's not the worst nor is it the best. It is typical for BYU. If you don't think it can be worse (much worse) I strongly disagree.

I'm sure it could be much worse, but under Bronco, it hasn't. One 6-6, one 7-6, then the rest 8-5 or better.

Certainly under a different coach it could be much worse. Or better. But I don't think its very likely to get much better than Bronco over a 10 year span.

[falafel]

Because this turned out to be one of the worst schedules in recent memory. No good wins and a handful of bad losses. 10 wins should have been the floor this year, regardless of the injuries.

I think you have an unreasonable expectation of the program.

depth is the difference between good programs and great ones. we are not a great program. the fact that we managed 8-5, beating a good cal team in the process, with the personnel available is impressive.

I am sorry that I expect too much if I am asking to beat Nevada at home and Memphis in a bowl game. It is really depressing if that is too much to ask for.

A good Cal team? They were 5-7. Its clear you find mediocre to be acceptible.

Landpoke texted me this morning and said it put our missionary work back 50 years.

Says the guy who thinks a 5-7 Cal team is a "good" team.

We had a dang good program 50 years ago. I know. I was one of the stalwarts in the program.

That's not what I'm referring to. Expecting our floor to be 10 wins each year is.

It depends on the schedule. 10 wins with this schedule seems pretty reasonable. Next year? no way in hell.
