BYU dominates MTSU this week. Perfect time for a cupcake.

The problem is, fans are losing interest. The apathy is part of the issue.

Loyal strong and true.

People keep using that as an excuse but what they don't realize is that

I agree to some extent, but isn't dealing with losses just part of being a fan?

newey-west

10/27/14 11:16pm

Again, these aren't your average losses.

southernfriedcougar

10/27/14 11:19pm

Sure, but this isn't necessarily a surprise for BYU fans.

early 80s? get your decade correct

Well, of course those were great teams. Still, every year but one, there was a

Educate me.

Apathetic or angry? Can you be both? Don't think so. Fans still care - a lot.

Signed, the past 4 games.

#4??? You been in a coma for the last 4 games?

Walter Bellhaven

maybe he thinks Taysom will be the difference maker?

UCF, Boise, USU, and Nevada are all significantly better than MTSU.

newey-west

10/27/14 10:23pm

UCF is the 123rd best offensive team in the country. USU 75, Nevada 52, MTSU 27

The Dude Abides

10/27/14 10:30pm

What rankings are you using?

newey-west

10/27/14 10:34pm

Yes, I would prefer to use a system that ranks Georgia Tech the #1 offense too.

The Dude Abides

10/27/14 10:42pm

You're exposing your ignorance.

newey-west

10/27/14 10:49pm

Ga Tech 1, Oregon 2, So Carolina 3, Miami 4, Auburn 5. Ummm okay.

The Dude Abides

10/27/14 10:59pm

Is this the first time that you've heard of FEI?

newey-west

10/27/14 11:06pm

Look, I've heard of it but to act as though people outside of bloggers are using

The Dude Abides

10/27/14 11:21pm

...but that's the beauty of FEI...it takes into account SOS...

newey-west

10/27/14 11:27pm

MTSU averages 461 yards a game and 6.2 yards per play

BlueFrog

10/27/14 10:05pm

Look at who they've played.

newey-west

10/27/14 10:30pm

BYU is currently those teams listed

BlueFrog

10/27/14 10:43pm

Huh?

newey-west

10/27/14 10:52pm

the list of teams you wrote down. byu fits in perfectly with said list.

BlueFrog

10/27/14 10:54pm

Again, if you believe FEI, this isn't true.

newey-west

10/27/14 11:04pm

According to FEI, BYU is the third best team MTSU will have played

Conan O'Fresno

10/27/14 11:29pm

The average FEI ranking of BYU's opponents is 56, for MTSU it's 81.

newey-west

10/27/14 11:35pm

Think about it.

Conan O'Fresno

10/27/14 10:55pm

Huh?

newey-west

10/27/14 11:03pm

Mtsu is thinking the same thing

johnnycarson

10/27/14 10:06pm

Really good passing offense

johnnycarson

10/27/14 10:07pm

what are we then cake pops?

Cougarealist

10/27/14 10:10pm

I don't think we have the right to use the term "cupcake" when describing other

westsidecoug

10/27/14 10:11pm

I'll bet the MTU offense is licking their chops at the chance to play BYU

Unless the defense improves significantly in a weeks time, this could be

CougarsFanSince80s

10/27/14 10:20pm

only weak byu fans with no expectations for success will think a win vs any

El Joffrey

10/27/14 10:35pm

No expectations for success? I've stated my expectations many times.

newey-west

10/27/14 10:40pm

top 25 (unlikely) LOL

El Joffrey

10/27/14 10:44pm

It's unlikely to happen, but what if BYU wins out?

newey-west

10/27/14 10:49pm

has any mid major in the history of time ever been ranked with 4 losses?

BlueFrog

10/27/14 10:54pm

Nope--but BYU has often gotten the benefit of the doubt in rankings.

newey-west

10/27/14 11:03pm

weak fans are the ones wearing bags on their heads...

byu_coug

10/28/14 12:02am

Nothing will "save" this season, but if we want any success in the future,

CalGTR

10/28/14 12:26am

MTSU is 3rd in the nation in 25+ yard plays from scrimmage.

Crush4

10/27/14 10:35pm

Look at who they've played.

newey-west

10/27/14 10:37pm

Look at who we've played. Not much better.

TouchdownCougars

10/27/14 10:58pm

FEI argues otherwise.

newey-west

10/27/14 11:05pm

BYU is playing as poorly as many of those teams.

Conan O'Fresno

10/27/14 10:59pm

Don't think this is true. BYU is facing tougher opponents.

newey-west

10/27/14 11:06pm

One more top 25 team than we have. And a Savannah St team we still will play

unctoothman

10/28/14 5:13am

Because playing top 25 teams and FCS schools is all that matters.

newey-west

10/28/14 7:01am

No, BYU made USU and Nevada look like CFB playoff contenders.

unctoothman

10/28/14 8:24am

Amen

Coug Dude

10/28/14 12:27am

won't be surprised at all if MTSU wins this weekend

Good week to work on fundamentals

Freddie Cougar

10/28/14 7:23am

MTSU is not a cupcake. And if they are, so are we.

Has it really come to us trying to defend why we should beat MTSU?? yikes
