I also go to games & donate & interact on social media and raise BYU fan kids…

… and I don’t like that many people KNOW that most BYU fans/leaders are pushovers and can be shafted/ignores without any pushback.

I get that being viewed positively is hugely important for the BOT and BYU administrators, but we can do the messy dirty work that they cannot/will-not do. Plus, it’s how many fans like to “fan”. We’re supposed do be biased and a little FANatical about it.

Not sure that mattered. Weren't we #5 in polls at one point?

I couldn’t agree more. The number of people who I’ve heard saying this phrase:

Who said we didn't deserve to be in in the conversation?

russkiejedi

We weren’t in the conversation. And I’ve seen a lot of BYU fans saying

12/29/24 7:13pm

We were in the conversation the entire month of October and November. . .

Zoobieman

I’m talking about the convo at the end of November. We were written off

Would you have voted to put us in?

Not to put us in. I’m just saying we should have been in the convo along with

Our own “fans” actively fight against this team, our players, and our coaches. How are we supposed to demand respect

12/29/24 4:30pm

"Actively fight against this team?" What are you talking about?

Oh boy here we go…do you have to take everything so literally?

I don't know what you mean, that's why I asked the question, and why I gave

You said we "actively fight against the team." By that you meant we don't stick

We lost two of our last three games of the season. Was there any schools that lost 2 of three and made it in?

KYU

12/29/24 5:24pm

Some of us understand not getting in CFP but being #17 & not even discussed w/ 3 loss teams ahead of us is insulting.

It was a rough 3 game stretch. Didn't look like we belonged but I agree our resume put us in the discussion of last

Think the issue was that the one loss dropped byu like a hot rock when others stayed in the convo after worse losses

Soupie

I personally believe if BYU finished the season 11-2, we would have been the #10
