if it lasts more than 4 hours you are supposed to seek medical attention

Good tip. I was annoyed all week and it shows this morning...Definitely

Seriously those that don't know our record need to grow a pair!

if you had a pair, you would understand and stuff

It means if you predicted a losing record, you lack in intestinal fortitude.

Phew, I predicted being bowl eligible. I guess I'm a real man.

I predicted an undefeated season. I am the manliest man

We can't use the world's word for my substitute use of growing a pair.

You offered no expectation and no prediction for the season.

I love that ESPN 960 rejoin sound of Poppinga saying "BYU will will 7-8 games"

At this point, it looks like even he undercalled it.

I predicted six and six, but it does seem a little silly for you to call people out about this

JOPE

Yep, Kalani has shown that he comes back from bad seasons with good improvement, but no one truly expected this.

Byron McNertney

You call it sensible. Looks pretty foolish to me. Looks pretty silly to have

Acorn

Oct 21, 9:59am

so you think a revisionist mentality is more sensible?

One sees what one wants to see. One interprets with bias. Emotion comes into

Your memory matches mine. Too much negativity. Too much whining.

Pretty sure it's mostly the T-Jacked maniacs who obsess about Utah.

Could be true. Some people's self esteem are entirely too locked up in sports.

How well do pears grow in Utah? The Bradford pear is the worst tree in the world

Ask the Yewts. They're like Bradford pears this season. Fruitless.
