How does Utah being in the PAC 12 effect BYU? I can't agree with this. Utah

The Yewts were getting the best of us before they went P5.

Really ? What is that and how does it compare to peer coaches ?

Let me text Kyle Whittingham real quick and I'll get back to you.

Where does Urban Meyer say he ranks football?

Belboz

Perfect example. As for me, I prefer a coach that cares about the players.

Not sure if that's TIC. His record at Ohio State is

you're not sure if that's TIC. That's a sign that we're done.

I agree with you. Which leads us to ask the question, 'why is BYU football in

QBfactoryclosed

So are you saying BYU needs to lower their standards in order to win more games?

HasRo24

6/23/15 11:28am

I'm saying Bronco has been very vocal that "Football is 5th"

Zach Morris

6/23/15 11:30am

I agree with that but you can't possibly believe that Bronco loses games

HasRo24

6/23/15 11:36am

Very vocal? I've seen Bronco reference it a couple of times in 10

Very vocal ? When is the last time Bronco said that ? link ?

that's silly. Winning and attaining excellence aren't exclusive of each other...

Disagree 90% on that - a result of college football superconferences, UU getting

Football was 5th in 2006 and 2007. Keep looking...

AzCoug1

Nah. It's more the result of larger shifts in the college football landscape.

Which of the items on the list should football be above? God? Family? School?

"Football is 5th" is propaganda he borrowed from John Wooden..

Yeah but Wooden sucked as a coach

How on earth do you think firesides detract from the game?

icecougar

they could just as easily hold the fireside later that evening after the game

icecougar

The problem is he uses the "5th" as an excuse for mediocre seasons.

Didn't "football is fifth" lead to fewer and shorter practices?
