But at least we have the Zags to sell as a "nemesis" (this year we can kinda claim it, anyways). I feel almost bad that they only get BYU's "big arena" & "crazy fans" on the return.

Personally, I think right now we're largely riding the bootstraps of Pope's huge personality, his drive for excellence, & his tenacious, never-die work ethic. The guy really loves what he does, & I think he has a very personal vision of making BYU basketball a great program.

I really hope he can get us on par with the Zags. We deserve it — & frankly, so do they.
