You wanna take it further, you may wanna check 2017, they dont always sell BYU low. If your point is they under by .5 that means they hit it exactly which happens more often than not

Dude, you have got to come to terms with reality. Our football is terrible. Kalani doesn’t even know what kind of cleats

Actually, maybe it does. A true freind isn’t an enabler of destructive bad behavior of those they love.

Why are you here and how many crotch punches do we get if you’re wrong?

Losing Rex doesn't really hurt. He was never the same after the injury.

WJCougar

Jun 13, 6:44pm

yeah, it sucks but injury just did him in, unfortunately. Barely made it 3 weeks with the Lions before being cut.

timpjynx

Jun 13, 6:52pm

Agreed. Love Rex, but he didn’t do anything special for us last year.

Sucks. That dude had such upside but crappy injuries just derailed his career.

Vegas and all the media have no clue. YLife is more reasonable and unbiased

stansburycoug

Jun 13, 6:52pm

Vegas is always wrong when it comes to BYU. They say 4-6 wins every year

andrewg3

Jun 13, 6:57pm

They had us at 5 wins last year. They ve nailed the last 2 years

stansburycoug

Well that didn’t fit his narrative lol

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 13, 7:19pm

It completely fits my narrative. I said they have us at 4-6 wins every year.

2017 is the “Godwin’s Law” of CougarBoard debates 🙄

If Vegas were always consistently wrong on BYU in the same direction

stansburycoug

Jun 13, 8:07pm

Vegas’ goal isn’t to be correct but to have even betting on both sides so they always come out on top

The team was so much better in their last two games that I have hope

Belboz

"The signs are there"...what are some of those signs?

icecougar

Jun 13, 7:05pm

There are too many experienced receivers on the team for a freshman RM to play

Belboz

Jun 13, 7:19pm

Agreed. JoJo could surprise tho

puntersarepeople

Jun 13, 7:21pm

Yes. He's far more likely to make an impact

Belboz

Not a bad take and certainly not ridiculous. Doesn't make it right

Some of these comments are actually yewt fans posing as one of us.

Brandoblueblood

The O-line was so bad last year. Upgrade that and the QB will be much better

Everything you've said is in the realm of possibility

Excellent summary

Think your quibbles are reasonable; here's my logic, mostly comes down to...

krindorr

Good stuff--only responding again b/c I'm enjoyng this exchange

cajuncoug

Jun 13, 9:00pm

if our lines are worse than last year, the team is in horrific shape

claw

Jun 13, 8:52pm

I don't think they will be (or can be)...but from a player talent perspective,

krindorr

Jun 13, 8:56pm

One thing that you are forgetting.

kC Cougar

Jun 14, 8:16am

Yeah, this is just comparing players from one year to the next

krindorr

Jun 14, 8:38am

The buzz for BYU is so bad, that outside people are picking us to

Plantagenet

We'll be incrementally better this year. We won't be worse.

BYU is projected to win 4.5 games by Vegas

Dr T-bone

Jun 13, 8:35pm

Disagree on 1 point re: the schedule

cajuncoug

Jun 13, 9:29pm

Vegas was right on 4.5 O/U last season. Thinking they're right again this season

At least they're flying around the field.

Every preseason publication says the opposite. But, ya know

8 wins guaranteed. And a win over Utah

If we win 8 games I’ll send you 100$

I am generally on the more pessimistic side of byu football but for some unknown

I see 5 wins. If BYU makes a bowl, I'll be shocked. Shcedule is very tough. I

BYU will do nothing in Big XII Football until they increase their recruiting

Diablo and Doc

Jun 14, 9:03am

Maybe a change in recruiting philosophy is needed

GMGlenn

Defensive recruiting has been night and day different since Hill got here

I like your optimism but QB is the most important position. I’m worried

As we all should be

We are objectively worse

If you're that sure, then should be easy money for you in Vegas.

Wait and see approach? Are you saying the past 7 years aren't valid data points?
