We barely beat two crap teams and lost to a third. We are probably ranked higher

They have brand. We don’t. We need to build it. That’s my point. Nobody cares

Mr. Rumsfield

We have a brand. I don’t buy it. It is deeper than that.

My brother in Christ, what is our brand in football? I’m being serious. Please

There isn’t a phrase/title I currently hate more than this one. Woof.

What about the phrase, “living my truth”? That’s gotta be worse.

Miami hasn’t been good in a long time. But they do have a brand

Indiana is in the B1G. Nobody cares about the B12 anymore.

Mr. Rumsfield

Nov 19, 6:19pm

What is Miami's brand?

The brand is Milton Bradley. The game is Monopoly. It's about getting all the $$

Kansas isn't terrible....but on paper, and at first look, Kansas is terrible

Vegas hasn’t respected us either. We all saw the stat of being the first 9-0

Mr. Rumsfield

Yep, and Vegas was right. BYU crapped the bed last Saturday against a mediocre

It’s one thing to beat the spread. It’s another to have a stat like I quoted

Mr. Rumsfield

Nov 19, 6:23pm

It really sucks that we didn’t have a resounding victory to prove a point

It’s not about respect at all. It’s about money

This thread is exactly how I feel, and why I'm enjoying the season. We're lucky

Don't get your hopes up that we get a BYE spot with a win too.

AltTabbins

Nov 20, 10:27am

Ummm... BYU at 12-1 or Buffs at 11-2 will absolutely jump BSU. No chance Army

We'll see.

Nov 20, 10:26am
