As someone who grew up in an era where BYU won the WAC title each and every season

Indy Coug

10/13/17 2:47pm

Remember the old Big 8 Conference?

CougarMike

10/13/17 2:51pm

Way back in 1995? Yeah.

Indy Coug

10/13/17 2:52pm

I played on 4 WAC championship teams, and how we did,

CougarMike

And Indy Coug could careless about your contributions in winning those

Twist words beyond recognition much?

gwalker

Nothing twisted at all. He stated that he "lived through all those WAC titles

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 5:05pm

Dude. You're not being remotely reasonable. I grew up during all those

gwalker

10/13/17 5:09pm

You are missing the point....

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 5:40pm

In the MWC era for BYU, how many championships did we win over how many years?

MarylandFan

10/13/17 10:22pm

I think we could all care less. We're actually very appreciative of those contributions

I agree. A conference championship is a great thing. Just not the

It was filled with Oklahoma, Texas and a bunch of nobodies

CougarMike

Big 8? Nobody’s?

Cougtruth

Sorry. The old Big 8 and Southwestern Conferences were similar in having

CougarMike

They won the National Championship many times

pappabear246

Nebraska alumn here. A little offended. Sniff.

PJMort

10/13/17 9:58pm

Disagree. It has always been a thing and every school brags about their conf.

Jericho

10/13/17 3:04pm

I disagree. My pissing and moaning about independence started well before this

JarJarBeeps

10/13/17 4:22pm

We do compete for a Conf Title in basketball, just can't win one

Jacob

10/13/17 4:27pm

I did and still do! We touted that under Lavell. He won 20 out of 29.

BlueForLife

10/13/17 4:33pm

But winning the WAC put us in the Holiday bowls, and gave us the chance to win

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 4:34pm

Just win baby! That will solve it. Conf or Indy. Got to win.

You want sports or not....cut the money and all sports are gone...it is that

Nat Gas Man

10/13/17 3:04pm

Duh, but football pays for itself and a lot more Olympic sports.

CougarMike

10/13/17 3:12pm

you can't have just FB...it doesn't work that way in the NCAA

Nat Gas Man

10/13/17 3:19pm

Title IX, not NCAA. So, if it is just about money

CougarMike

10/13/17 3:27pm

NCAA rule of a minimum of 14 sports, not counting what the AAC would require...=

Nat Gas Man

10/13/17 3:31pm

How about $10M vs. $1M? How do you plan to pay for volleyball, women's BB,

Rocketman

10/13/17 8:54pm

We always made it work. Many universities make it work with less.

canofpicante

10/13/17 4:04pm

Costs have gone way up in the last 5 years...name a school that makes it work

Nat Gas Man

10/13/17 4:07pm

You want me to audit all NCAA teams? I really don't have that kind of time.

canofpicante

10/14/17 10:00pm

it's actually public data from the DOE

Nat Gas Man

10/14/17 10:59pm

Well, rummage through it and tell me what you find

canofpicante

10/15/17 8:37pm

If you think that is the only reason for indepedence, you are ignoring the rest

LifeLongLakerFan

10/13/17 3:04pm

Exactly.

Gentleman Stan

10/13/17 3:49pm

This mentality sucks...

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 4:27pm

That's not the mentality and if you think it is then

CMuehle

10/13/17 4:47pm

We have been a G5 for 100 years. Then Utah moved up and we were left out. All

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 4:56pm

See, I think I'm beginning to understand you guys.

CMuehle

10/13/17 5:02pm

Spot on. Most of us aren't wired that way. Which is why there are so few of them. This huge letdown in football

Gentleman Stan

10/13/17 5:16pm

So why are we playing Portland St., Utah St., Fresno St., San Jose St,

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 5:25pm

2 or 3 more games against P5s is better than

CMuehle

10/13/17 5:42pm

I see how you ignored the basketball program being banished to the WCC,

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 5:49pm

Banished? The MWC was, for a few years, a very good league. It's less than the WCC

Gentleman Stan

10/13/17 7:44pm

In the last 10 years 7 different MWC bball teams have qualified for the NCAA

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 8:56pm

The MWC is presently a double digit auto bid league with bad tv.

Gentleman Stan

10/13/17 10:46pm

Sorry, C. While we won WAC championships, we also beat TAMU, Wisconsin, SMU

CougarMike

10/13/17 9:00pm

BYUSwoop

10/14/17 1:49pm

If you ask average Joe sports guy they might still think we’re WAC or MWC Indy

franklyvulgar

10/13/17 6:38pm

No it doesn't. I don't have anything else to say on that.

LifeLongLakerFan

10/13/17 6:04pm

Our football independent record is far from horrendous.

jkccoug

10/13/17 7:44pm

Problem is the way we have to schedule as an Indy "when we are winning" still hasn't happened to a big enough degree and

byuTX

10/14/17 4:59am

I'd rather have Mountain America and Vivint dumping money into the program

Pimpin4Paradise

10/13/17 3:06pm

I wish Ricks still had a team. Then you could root for them playing

Bullrider

10/13/17 3:30pm

I would lose interest in the program if we weren't playing interesting teams

8-track

10/13/17 3:44pm

winning would solve all of these so-called problems and we would get respect

Colorado

10/13/17 4:11pm

So you just became a fan 3 years ago? Because what you just described was

Memmo

10/13/17 4:41pm

No. Before independence TCU and Utah

8-track

10/13/17 6:16pm

Sucking at football is killing interest in the program. If we were a good team

jkccoug

10/13/17 4:18pm

How does this have POTD nominations? Regardless of how one feels about

gwalker

10/13/17 4:55pm

Because the G5 honks don't understand that.

Gentleman Stan

10/13/17 5:17pm

You say we need money for all that stuff, or else the gulf widens. What about

CougarMike

10/13/17 9:05pm

Amen and amen!!!

byuguns55

10/13/17 4:59pm

Reality check: We’re 0-2 in the MWC & out of the champ race w/ zero 2

BamaCoug

10/13/17 5:04pm

You are too smart of dude to not think through the variables...

Cougarfan777

10/13/17 6:02pm

You can’t tell me that BYU somwhow

8-track

10/13/17 7:36pm

this "they have nothing to play for" nonsense is completely de-bunked in this 2014 clip

HarlemCoug

10/13/17 11:32pm

Exactly

pappabear246

10/14/17 9:19pm

That's awesome. You are exactly right

MaxxPower

10/15/17 6:57pm

A conf championship in the MWC now that Utah and TCU left would mean little

D.T. Survivor

10/13/17 5:41pm

SDSU and BSU beg to differ

franklyvulgar

10/13/17 6:45pm

Either of them would give up what they have to be in the spot BYU is in.

Lance71

10/13/17 7:25pm

For the money or the prestige of being Indy?

franklyvulgar

10/13/17 8:02pm

Money, TV, reputation, etc....

Lance71

10/14/17 5:36pm

You’re right about SDSU, but they have never been perennially good

RE: AND, NOBODY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THE INCREASED REVENUE BANNER WE NOW HANG

Abe Froman

10/13/17 6:34pm

We'd have a lot more to play for if we were 1-5 in the MWC, for sure

ArchbishopMitty

10/13/17 8:42pm

I hate to break the news to you but at 1-5 we would

pappabear246

Nobody gives a crap about our team this year anyway, whether Indy or MWC.
