Cuff and others and how that didn't exactly pan out. I've seen it in other teams. There was a Golden State Warriors team with Chris Webber and Chris Mullins that everyone had slotted as a lock for the NBA title. They never got close enough to sniff it.

This team looks great on paper. The games aren't played on paper. They're played on the court.

BYU just put together it's best recruiting class in history, which when Demin is graded should be a top 3 recruiting

Why can’t we do this for football is my question?

Basketball needs like 3 people to make a massive difference. Football needs 12

We just got our first half of our half payment for being in the B12. There hasn't been a football recruiting season

The money coming in for NIL isn't from Big XII payouts, it's from boosters

Jun 20, 11:25am

NIL worked very differently last football season. Teams couldn't do then what they are doing now. And Pres Reese wasn't

Why have they struggled to bring in a competent QB this offseason then?

Exactly!!!

Maybe the coaches trust our current qb room

Of course they aren't, no one with half a football brain is sold on him

This is just revisionist history. He was offered the head coaching job at Oregon.

HarlemCoug

I think he was considered for it, never offered

I still stand by that he was a diversity interview

It was his if he wanted it (and for about 48 hours he thought he was going to take it).

Here's what you're missing. Everyone is excited about the transformation of BYU

It's also okay to just enjoy the moment. Even if it's just for a day or two. The hand wringing and calls to fire Kevin

Sounds good. And I'll file your preemptive bellyaching in the proper file as well.

Can you point me to my preemptive bellyaching?

BYUMizzou

Jun 20, 11:44am

I highly doubt that Kevin Young is going to be fired, even if we lose as many

Jun 20, 1:22pm

Nope. What we're REALLY missing is why the concept of Fashion Shorts never took

They did in Wyoming and West Virginia.

False. The key to happiness is just enjoying the moment. If you pump the brakes all the time because we're not there yet

I don't think that's true. I generally have high expectations for BYU, but win
