NEWSFLASH!!! WE ARE 7-0

LOL. I meant to write it last week...been dinging in my head for a week...

Acorn

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

JimmyZ

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

Acorn

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

9:53am

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

9:56am

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

Acorn

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

Byron McNertney

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

Acorn

MIGHT be a real man…there are other considerations…

You offered no expectation and no prediction for the season.

My post is about being annoyed over the almost constant negativity leading up to

What is happening here is fans being excited, wild and having fun. It’s

It also won't be that big of a deal when we lose a game or two. It will happen

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

Painterboy

9:55am

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

Japan Coug

Poppinga was an eeyore!

stansburycoug

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

JOPE

9:56am

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

Byron McNertney

9:58am

You call it sensible. Looks pretty foolish to me. Looks pretty silly to have

Acorn

9:59am

so you think a revisionist mentality is more sensible?

One sees what one wants to see. One interprets with bias. Emotion comes into

He isn't wrong about the negativity going into the season, though. I don't

Japan Coug

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

Acorn

THIS. Honestly I'm still not sure we aren't in a simulation & are just rigging our PS5 CFP25 Dynasty season to win

A lot of us could tell it wasn’t so bad as all that

Google Eyeore. Technology is an amazing thing. It can actually overcome typos.

Hey, call me whatever. I've watched every BYU season since 1983 probably. It's okay to be optimistic and a little

Yessir! The overwhelming negativity all summer was over the top.

Acorn

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

BYUDM93

11:12am

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

Acorn

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

WaffleCheese

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

I've got at least 25 years on that guy, but I have a huge man crush on him.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Quit talking about going to a bowl like it’s some great accomplishment. There is another self-respecting team out there
