    BYU #1 2009 "Buster Candidate"



    Will Bronco live up to the hype or will he let y'all down?
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

    We were let down last year. This year, it will just be the status quo.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Can I just say that there are some competent female sports journalists out there, but I have been really underwhelmed with the women that write for cnnsi.

        It would be fitting if BYU soothed the Mountain West's sorrows on the 25th anniversary of its improbable 1984 championship season. But with a schedule that includes matchups against four Top 25 opponents (Oklahoma in Arlington, Florida State, TCU, Utah), it won't be easy. BYU boasts an experienced offensive trio -- QB Max Hall, TE Dennis Pitta and RB Harvey Unga -- and a deep front seven on defense, but the Cougars lost four offensive linemen to graduation and are still searching for replacements in the secondary. BYU isn't the most talented mid-major, but its schedule provides a chance to separate itself from the pack. If BYU somehow beats Oklahoma in Week 1, a BCS berth will be the Cougars' to lose. But BYU can afford to fall to Oklahoma if it takes care of business when Florida State comes to town and runs the table in-conference -- a manageable task considering it hosts both TCU and Utah in Provo.

          No need to worry. All the national pundits have predicted Boise as this year's most likely BCS buster.

            Does anyone else catch the irony of them saying "BYU probably can't do it again 25 years later because the schedule is too tough!"

              A+.
              "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

              "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

                I might have caught some irony if the word "probably" wasn't in the sentence. With that word in there, I miss the irony. Could you spell it out for me. Thanks.

                  I'm 2% dumber after reading that.

                    I'm 5% dumber for trying to figure out how you arrived at your 2% figure.
