not then they are totally cool with getting humiliated.

Get out of here with this dumb take.

The nothing on the line garbage is the worst take on CB and there are a lot of terrible takes on CB.

Truth serum: You ready for it?

You’re blaming too much on independence and not factoring other circumstance

crm48

6/24/19 6:41pm

Yeah, draft picks were dwindling before independence.

We have some very simple minded fans.

At least with indy I can watch a game.

Everyone assumes we would have been world beaters by staying in the MWC

Cougblau

6/24/19 6:44pm

You mean we are playing MWC teams with nothing on the line? In a

Lol, nothing on the line! You’re always playing for pride. You play to win the

6/24/19 6:51pm

You can play the big boys in a G5. How do you think we built our brand? How do

777

6/24/19 6:59pm

Do you want to feel like a P5 or not? Do you want to build depth and a power

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:03pm

Really? It's trending in that direction?

TNT

6/24/19 7:05pm

Whatever. I’m glad y’all aren’t running BYU’s program. Do you

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:08pm

The current setup isn't working

TNT

6/24/19 7:10pm

So if you believe P5 is done, and you don’t want MWC like 777

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:14pm

TNT believes BYU's long-term survival is to be in a conference

TNT

6/24/19 7:14pm

That’s fair. But my entire take is not about just “waiting to get into the club”

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:21pm

BYU has repeatedly shown they don't have the depth to survive that schedule

TNT

6/24/19 7:23pm

Get back to me after this year. I think we can build that depth, you don’t and

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:26pm

How are they meaningful?

TNT

6/24/19 7:29pm

BYU was ranked #20 last year after week 4, and we were 3-1!

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:36pm

BYU cannot thrive in the Independent framework

TNT

6/24/19 7:38pm

Cool. I’ll support BYU til the day I die, and I think you will too.

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:51pm

TNT never attended BYU

6/24/19 8:06pm

Defeatist? Being a G5 built us into the program we once were. A dominant

777

6/24/19 7:13pm

So your solution is ... to close up shop? It’s not the 70s and 80s anymore.

Cougblau

6/24/19 7:16pm

We haven’t been that since the 80’s man.

che flaco

6/24/19 7:40pm

And don’t even get me started on how you’d react when BYU (Gasp) didn’t

6/24/19 7:24pm

I've heard it first hand out of players mouths. Past and present.

777

6/24/19 7:27pm

I just don't see how indy would make that much of a difference with those things

swingcat

6/24/19 6:45pm

Most Y fans don't see it. Always pointing to everything else. Fans underestimate

777

6/24/19 6:49pm

When thinking of BYUs past accomplishments, is it really the past conference

che flaco

6/24/19 6:54pm

The past titles built our brand. You don't get to those Holiday Bowls and

777

6/24/19 6:58pm

If your point is that indy has been a step back from what we had in MWC...

swingcat

6/24/19 6:56pm

1. TNT doesn't want the MWC. 2. WCC sucks for hoops

TNT

6/24/19 6:58pm

You bring in recruits by winning, not by who you play. Some of the all time

777

6/24/19 7:02pm

Well I think we can agree it's a combination of winning AND who you play.

swingcat

6/24/19 7:03pm

Are you talking about the championship that Boise hosted which drew 12k less

fortysixn3

6/24/19 9:13pm

I fail to see how Indy is the cause of all that and how staying in the MWC would

I’m guessing you’re not a scientist who does peer-reviewed academic studies on a

chilango

6/24/19 6:52pm

Hey hey. No reason for name calling

TNT

6/24/19 6:53pm

Yeah, BYU can't beat Utah because the team is independent...

jaromp

6/24/19 6:53pm

And Indendepence doesn't appear to utilize BYU's strengths

TNT

6/24/19 6:55pm

Could it be that BYU has been floating in the "no man's land" of independence

Bingo

Correlation not Causation

6/24/19 6:58pm

How many times does BYU beat Utah if we're still in the MWC?

This is amazing. Thank you.

Was I supposed to say 0? Too bad we'll never know, and too bad it's been

777

6/24/19 7:09pm

Because there is 0 evidence that Indy is the cause of byus woes against

LiveCoug

6/24/19 7:13pm

I disagree. It's a mindset. Indy has made us a lackluster program with no chip

777

6/24/19 7:17pm

That’s a theory that you have no means of proving.

Bossk82

USU hasn't passed jack. LOL. Nobody gives a rip about USU

LiveCoug

6/24/19 7:25pm

Keep your head buried in the sand and ignore this stat....Since 2010

777

6/24/19 7:31pm

Phil Steele himself said on the radio the other day that USU hasn’t passed BYU.

Bossk82

6/24/19 7:43pm

Yeah and they womped BYU last year

TNT

6/24/19 7:43pm

They sure did. Embarrassing for sure.

Ever since the Wikileaks scandal broke, we can't beat Utah. Curse you Assange!

And you think staying in the MWC would have stopped the losses to Utah?

BYU independence is causing global warming and the bees to die.

Can't argue that. If that's what it's about great.
