How much longer will P5 still play G5 in bowl games?
my guess is it won't be for much longer.

Conference membership gives the team something to play for. Former players

Love them but they're remembering the good ol'days. This isn't the 1980's or 90's

I would hope that any former player worth remembering would have been motivated by winning any game they played in.

The only goal in indy is going undefeated. Lose one game and the next goal is 6

As a g5 we have access to better bowls and a top 25 ranking. Scientific fact

How many times in BYU's history as a G5 has it gone to a NY6 bowl? Once. Ok, so we'll go back and qualify

Utah and tcu aren't in the way now. It's realistic. More than going undefeated.

Right and Utah and TCU's calibre wasn't in the way from 1900-2003 either. We went to the Cotton Bowl once.

But we did it. That season is remembered as the second greatest in BYU history.

You said there was no other goal as an Indy after your first loss. It's a moronic stance. I corrected you.

No, I said the next goal is 6 wins and bowl eligibility.

Correct. My bad. I then corrected you with a list of other goals that are obvious.
