And some fans are saying we really are poised for the future and being almost non existent in the portal so far is fine. Well I’m getting super frustrated..

A few plays away from 12-0 too

Fact remains… this isn’t a dominating team and there is plenty of room

Big12Yfan

Yep - every team in the country could say the same

Lots of teams are being very active in the portal

Big12Yfan

Is the portal closed? Are our coaches not trying?

Umm…Utah is bringing in G5 guys after losing their best & TT is losing a ton…

We brought in a FCS guy

Let's look at this factually and not just through your lens of pessimism.

Did Dampier play at a high level? For the 5-7 Lobos? Yet they’re stoked…

arcawley

Dec 21, 4:27pm

They got the QB from Oklahoma and Wilson back

Big12Yfan

Dec 21, 5:48pm

And? They brought in 3 QB’s and only one will start 💁

Dec 21, 5:50pm

Tons of FCS transfers to FBS. Many FBS transfers come with star ratings but could get PT (see ours). Texas’ game

No, not you. He wasn't replying to you.

TheLoneCougar

No. But they were standout players at Weber. Dampier was not a standout QB

Utah lost lots of talent in the portal. We didn’t. First priority of coaches is to build a program that develops and

Sorry you’re so disappointed by the results of our Vegas-predicted 4.5 wins in 2024.

And the team can improve without portal players

Fact remains that there wasn't a single dominant team in college football this

CU, ASU, Iowa State, Georgia, etc etc could all say same thing!

Fewer plays needed to get BYU to 12-0 than 7-5.

If you get super frustrated because of the fans, or really cause of the team at all you should pull back. Life is too

lol, we were also a few plays away from 12-0

You’re not wrong, but 10-2 is the record BYU deserved.

Why do some of you get so bent over some fan talk? Like seriously some of you need to stop being the fan police

Kinda hypocritical tbh

boctabulous

Dec 21, 3:16pm

So your fandom involves policing other fans? What's the point?

Your fandom involves policing other fans based on the post i responded to.

Says one of the most vocal. Mirror anyone?

coug10278

Dec 21, 3:21pm

My being vocal towards BYU isn't telling fans how to be a fan.

You literally are. Read your posts

Doesn’t really feel like fan talk. Seems like movie critic talk. And when people post they are opening themselves to

Some fans watch only one game per week

This is so true. Our fan base would shred every team.

You really should shut it down or find a new team.

Do you need a cry closet from Santa to help you recover from the 10 win season?
