summer, we disagree. If you think using bad or incomplete data is not bad analysis, we also disagree.

I am comfortable with that.

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!

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

OUCH^^^^he said it better.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
