member when BYU was now basketball school and football sucked?

Zip

4:42pm

We were never a basketball school. Absolutely never. See the 1996 football and basketball seasons for reference.

Summer of 2024 my friend

I see your Summer 2024 and raise you 1996's 14-1 football and 1-26 basketball records

POLL: How many of you are like me

DataMouth

4:41pm

Not overrated. Properly rated--mid BigXII.

byujdmba

4:42pm

I think they are properly rated. Since they aren’t ranked.

I knew who wrote this before I opened it..lol

Zip

4:45pm

Somehow the CB basketball takes are as bad as how BYU played today

The Chief

4:38pm

Give up on the second game of the conference schedule?

Archaea

4:40pm

I think a lot of fans confused recruiting hype/potential for thinking this

Polecat

4:43pm

Which takes? The it's-just-1-game-&-everything-is-fine crowd or the that-was-

One more missed call that cost ASU the football game

I don't see that getting overturned.

No catch.

88Coug

Control when his butt hit. Catch.

rockhound

4:43pm

I didn’t watch the game and just checked the box score

HimmerFredette

4:35pm

Knell had 12.

Wife_Apologist

4:37pm

My bad. He was at the bottom of the box score so I overlooked him

HimmerFredette

4:38pm

No offensive chemistry or rhythm. Poor shooting with good looks, poor rebounding

Wife_Apologist

4:43pm

I’m sorry that the team embarrassed you.

Sea Chicken

4:38pm

I’ll bet you the players and coaches are talking about being embarrassed

calblue

4:43pm

Have you ever watched Houston play D and hit a ton of 3’s? That is what happened

ElkhunterUT

4:44pm

Fouss was ineffective because their double teams are amazing

stoils

4:45pm

I fear this team is going to have a lot of wake-up games.

Strikethesteel

4:30pm

Agree w/ wake up calls but Egor would get drafted even if not a lottery pick.

Soupie

4:31pm

Maybe. But KY failed to find a player to help his team at this point.

fan32

4:35pm

Good. Maybe we can show up to the 1st round of the Dance already awake for once.

SinkingQuffa

4:34pm

I miss football already.

CB, it does not matter when you are born. You make your own world. You do not

ASU is up 16 on Colorado.

cougarfanatic All-American

4:24pm

At the end of the 1st Q women are up 20-13 at #18 West Virginia.

brj8 All-American

4:23pm

That's good, but they'll likely give up a double-digit lead in the 4th Quarter..

lbmango

4:27pm

Just turned on the women's game and immediately witness...

lbmango

4:43pm

Probably the best possible time for this game to happen...

lbmango

4:23pm

Sure, but the providence game was supposed to be the wake up call

ballen

4:24pm

Had a couple of key injuries in between. George seems tentative. He’ll get

Hammurabi

4:27pm

Who is George

ChubbyMoose

4:30pm

My thoughts exactly

KaelinClayBurner

4:30pm

Different kinds of wakeup calls. Providence is bad, Houston is great.

tacallaway

4:32pm

KY was unprepared for Houston and totally outcoached.

The best decade to grow up in was the 1970s

But we were teenagers in 1984

Belboz

I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I consider that the best of both worlds.

Children of the 90’s would disagree.

Maybe but the music and fashion don’t agree

BYU is tied for 5 in the 16 team Big 12 at 1-1 with a great win, and a terrible

This video is very strong evidence that Egor & Catching should strongly consider

I think there’s an argument to be made that that’s a bad thing for the program

And the price tag that was shared today. I believe it was almost $400 per person.

Did JRob have eligibility remaining? He declared for the draft... do Seniors

Yes. This was always going to be his last season.

kinda crass way to put it but yes they did

We will see how good coaches are

Archaea

4:15pm

Coaches found out today who is toughest--Catchings...and they will find out more

Plantagenet

I’ll take a 30 point loss to Houston vs 20 point loses to LMU, Pepperdine, UOP, etc. God bless the Big12.

cougarfanatic All-American

That's supposed to make us feel great? Getting curb stomped by .500 Providence

Forzaitalia

4:18pm

Yes. I mean losing sucks but losing to low end wcc teams was soul crushing. Everything will be just fine.

cougarfanatic

4:23pm

It should. Losing to WCC opponents creates the narrative of "BYU isn't that

Missed the game. Anyone have a non sarcastic cliff notes version? I assume no

ColonelMustard

4:06pm

Save yourself the agony.

Archaea

4:07pm

Houston's defense was absolutely suffocating. We had zero offensive rhythm.

Banjo

4:09pm

BYU didn't handle Houston's defense well

Belboz

4:09pm

None of the vets stabilized the team.

Archaea

4:10pm

Turnovers galore. UH getting rebounds galore. No penetration for BYU. Smothering D by UH.

Soupie

4:09pm

You mean whack-a-coug defense. Thats Rick Majerus D. Foul, foul, foul every pl

byukarl

4:14pm

Too many turnovers, gave up a lot of offensive rebounds, UH unconscious from 3.

LeGrandBleu

BYU’s offense and defense was pathetic

DizzyDean

4:11pm

Overwhelmed early by defensive pressure/physical play. Got mental. Never recovered.

BYU got run out of the gym from the opening tip

Lifi

Here you go.

YSMACK

4:17pm

Today sucked but I am not giving up on the team

Archaea

4:06pm

Not time to give up. Time for KY & staff to work out issues, starting w/handling

Forzaitalia

4:09pm

Focus on physicality and adjustments to offense

Archaea

4:11pm

Everybody's good out on the perimeter but no one knows how to drive.

Plantagenet

It would be dumb for anybody to give up on the team. I see two teams(possibly 3)

Schrodizzy

4:30pm

Anyone know any stores that have eggs today?

rockhound

Walmart (in Lehi) seemed to have no shortage of eggs earlier this week.

Eggs are only on Fridays until further notice.

One that defends & shoots 3’s really well.

The really tough and aggressive and strong and fast kind

They have a coach that teaches physical defense and rebounding--leading to

Plantagenet

ISU is the best team in the league so far

@ Iowa State will be tougher. I’m biased but we are incredible this year

SinkingQuffa

Me too...the hype was that KY is a giant step up from Pope thus the HUGE payday

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

I'd like to think KY & our team has a lot of potential to be strong by March

I'm looking at one variable because EVERYONE is saying this is his first year...

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

4:04pm

Plenty of other factors at play here including a major lineup change of coaches

Hammurabi

4:25pm

I believe they will get there. But it may not be as fast as we would like. There are quality college coaches on staff

Bob Vance

4:02pm

May not even be this season.

Forzaitalia

4:10pm

Few is one of the best coaches in the country.

JoeExotic

4:02pm

Got it...so KY isn't that good and Few created a team that went to the sweet 16

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

4:06pm

Yes Few had been at Gonzaga for 10 years, had helped build it and probably knew

Polecat

4:09pm

With an existing team and tons of college experience. Wrong analog.
