The football fan is fading and leaving... the new BYU fan don't know what it's like to be a fan of a school... Bronco has created this Band of Brothers bull crap where everyone is against them mentality. They have completely alienated the fan, the alumni and the overall pride for school and substituted it with representing the church and being a good member.
We have literally cashed in every last cent in tradition and overall program success that was built up over the Lavell years. That is now long and gone. Tradition Honor and Spirit... what the crap does this even stand for anymore?
We don't honor the tradition of the program any more when we invite every stinking excuse for reasons why we aren't living up to the standard of the program.
Where is the honor in the former alumni? We honored one of the greatest alumni sports figures in BYU history this last year, and got drilled by USU on our home field that night. Awesome... wonderful. While injuries did play a part...we were so unprepared looking in that game that the fact that we were in a battle, prior to the injury, against that team that had just previously lost to Arkansas State is very troubling.
I know people are sick of hearing from me and I get that and all. I grew up with this program and saw when it sucked and saw it go from that to greatness. I get so sick and tired of hearing fans try to compare Bronco's record and success to that of Lavell's and act like it's all the same. It's not the same... it's not even remotely close.
We are losing recruits to Utah now... kids who are the son's of the players that MADE BYU Football. That is just wrong... wrong wrong wrong!
