2019 BYU Cougars Football Thread

[Donuthole]

There's no game thread yet, but I saw over the weekend that Tennessee's starting corner got arrested for threatening to slap the s*** out of a woman and shoot up the school. He has been suspended indefinitely, which i'm sure means he'll be back in time to face the Cougs.

The Vols lost to Georgia State.

[Brian]

They looked pathetic.
I’d be surprised if Pruitt has a job in the morning.

[All-American]

I don’t know if that loss takes this from a “likely loss” to a “likely win,” but it might make it a “must win.”

[Flystripper]

I don’t expect it to be easy. They have sec talent and they are embarrassed.

Pretty much the worst possible result for BYU.

[LiveCoug]

Well, if BYU is halfway competent, they could beat both Tennessee and USC...

I chalk those up as losses then...

We are going to compete well against the next three opponents and get at least one win. I am optimistic we steal wins against Tennessee and USC. Which will make the Utah curse more frustrating to me. The narrative is a massive and widening talent gap will prevent us from ever beating Utah again. Top to bottom it may be difficult to match their talent level, but our 1s are good enough to play with and beat our fair share of Power 5 teams. Just never one named Utah.

The streak will end. Be patient.

Just another 8 or 9 years until we reach the promised land.

[Uncle Ted]

I thought it was a 40 year journey wandering around in the wilderness before reaching the promised land.

[falafel]

Yeah, but Moses couldn't get by with telling the people they had another 31 years to go.

The narrative is garbage. If the talent gap were that large the games would be blow outs more often and they would have a lot more NFL players than we do. I'll concede that they have more depth but that shouldn't make much difference in the season opener.

If there is a talent gap it is on the coaching staff.

There is a talent and depth gap, but part of this streak is just bad luck. It is amazing how close the games typically are, this year notwithstanding.

The streak has turned the BYU fanbase into a bunch of pathetic debbie downers.
