I like your optimism but please don't go all scorched earth if we go 6-6

TaysomJimmerEraCoug Walk-on

some of the unrealistic expectations here are troubling, only because I know some fans will go haywire when BYU doesn't live up to them. Is 9-4 possible? sure! Likely at all? absolutely not!

The pendulum of recruiting will start swinging back BYU’s way

Let’s hope

Delightfulness, you are not delightful. An obvious ute homer.

It will start this year. Utah is going to lose 5 games this year. BYU is going

I can see that happening

You also probably didn't see BYU being 4-1 heading into the bye week?

Finally...someone posts some sense.

I for sure did not.

Who is saying there's no chance of that?

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/3/23 11:15am

I did not use the words "no chance"

slatecoug

10/3/23 11:21am

Your last sentence says "no chance" verbatim.

To be clear I was paraphrasing the sentiments many on here have been stating for the last couple of months

Absolutely not likely

It's a tall task because we aren't more talented than a lot of teams we play

What flyers were taken in the portal?

slatecoug

10/3/23 5:00pm

Some of those teams are on par with Kansas too.

puntersarepeople

10/3/23 5:06pm

Except Kansas is the only one without a bad loss, so I'm not so sure they are on par with Kansas.

slatecoug

Pretty small sample size there

puntersarepeople

10/4/23 11:57am

Almost half a season is a small sample size? In what world are you referring to?

slatecoug

10/4/23 12:54pm

They haven't had many opportunities to have what you qualify as a bad loss

puntersarepeople

10/4/23 1:15pm

Kansas has had 2 opportunities for bad losses, the same number as Tx. Tech, TCU, Iowa St., and Oklahoma St.

The portal fixes a lot of things for BYU (see current starting lineups).

Many of these kids who commit today won't even be freshman for 3 years

Belboz

Kids want the NFL and the HC in a shorter stint might be easier to stomach

you went 1 for 2 on pendulum, good work.

You could be right but as much as I don’t like Utah…

I think that at this point, keeping Whitt is good for BYU. He's getting old and

Benfica1

10/2/23 10:23pm

The old Whitt is coming back with no offense and new coordinator every year

Chad Francisco

10/2/23 10:45pm

Utah is throwing around a lot of NIL money that they will have a very difficult time continuing...

Coug

10/2/23 10:31pm

I highly doubt Whitt coaches 5 more years. I bet he’s gone this year or next.

Yucatan

10/2/23 10:41pm

Yeah, he won’t want to coach long in the Big 12

Chad Francisco

10/2/23 10:44pm

I agree. He'll pull a Pete Carroll / Urban Meyer and will peace outta there

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/2/23 10:51pm

And we'll be there to scoop up all the players not getting paid.

What makes anybody think utah isnt gonna make good here

Honor Code

I think Honor Code only small part of the equation

Chad Francisco

Mormon stigma & religious school stigma complicate geographical isolation a lot.

SinkingQuffa

Has nothing to do with losing guys like Andrews.

Don’t take that wrong. I am NOT in the get rid of honor code crowd.

Big difference in 70-90's is things won't come back to how they were. We ruled the LDS kid recruiting. Not sure...
