predicted a losing record as far as I can see now. I think most people predict losses so their self esteem can survive when we actually lose. Wait for the eyerolls to self identify who they are.

People were so sure we would have a losing record. They were complete wrong. Beating their chests as "realists" with predictions of losing records. Go be Jets fans. They would fit right in.

if it lasts more than 4 hours you are supposed to seek medical attention

Good tip. I was annoyed all week and it shows this morning...Definitely

Seriously those that don't know our record need to grow a pair!

Hold on, explain to how predicting wins relates to "growing a pair." This is very confusing.

Byron McNertney

9:50am

if you had a pair, you would understand and stuff

JimmyZ

OUCH^^^^he said it better.

Acorn

It means if you predicted a losing record, you lack in intestinal fortitude.

Acorn

9:52am

Phew, I predicted being bowl eligible. I guess I'm a real man.

Byron McNertney

I predicted an undefeated season. I am the manliest man

If you have to guess, that might put it into question. You might want to do

I'm just humoring a guy who seems to be very confused about the definition.

We can't use the world's word for my substitute use of growing a pair.

MIGHT be a real man…there are other considerations…

You offered no expectation and no prediction for the season.

I love that ESPN 960 rejoin sound of Poppinga saying "BYU will will 7-8 games"

At this point, it looks like even he undercalled it.

Poppinga was an eeyore!

I predicted six and six, but it does seem a little silly for you to call people out about this

Yep, Kalani has shown that he comes back from bad seasons with good improvement, but no one truly expected this.

so you think a revisionist mentality is more sensible?

Your memory matches mine. Too much negativity. Too much whining.

Pretty sure it's mostly the T-Jacked maniacs who obsess about Utah.

Could be true. Some people's self esteem are entirely too locked up in sports.

How well do pears grow in Utah? The Bradford pear is the worst tree in the world

Ask the Yewts. They're like Bradford pears this season. Fruitless.

"Been holding it in since before the season started." - every bit as weak as the eyeore types who actually took a stand.
