LOL. I meant to write it last week...been dinging in my head for a week...

Acorn

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

JimmyZ

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!

Hold on, explain to how predicting wins relates to "growing a pair." This is very confusing.

Byron McNertney

Oct 21, 9:50am

if you had a pair, you would understand and stuff

JimmyZ

OUCH^^^^he said it better.

Acorn

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

Acorn

Oct 21, 9:52am

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

Byron McNertney

I predicted an undefeated season. I am the manliest man

I'm just humoring a guy who seems to be very confused about the definition.

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

Acorn

MIGHT be a real man…there are other considerations…

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"

Painterboy

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

Japan Coug

Poppinga was an eeyore!

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

JOPE

Oct 21, 9:56am

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

Byron McNertney

Oct 21, 9:58am

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

He isn't wrong about the negativity going into the season, though. I don't

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

THIS. Honestly I'm still not sure we aren't in a simulation & are just rigging our PS5 CFP25 Dynasty season to win

Google Eyeore. Technology is an amazing thing. It can actually overcome typos.

Yessir! The overwhelming negativity all summer was over the top.

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.
