Haven’t watched them a whole lot, but the biggest issue IMO is the lack of effort and heart. The players don’t seem to care nearly as much about winning as last year’s team. Never expected to think this, but Pope is missed.

The team stinks this year

We will finish this year with a better B12 record than last year.

Doubt it

That won’t happen…..

Most likely Big 12 cellar dwellers

Just because you suck as a fan, doesn’t mean you have good or intelligent takes

You lost me at “you suck as a fan”

But you are a worse evaluator of the team. And you admitted you haven’t watched

Do you want to bet $10 million?

I sincerely hope you throw this back in my face later, but:

Hey I’m going to be critical while also admitting I don’t watch to know what I

Agree with ya, but what I have watched is just too difficult vs. last year

Did you feel we had the “it” factor when we started Big 12 play 2-4 last year?

Odysseus

Yes. They weren’t losing last year the way they are this year. They fought back

"I haven't watched much of the team, but here is my opinion."

Before everyone just replies

I don't have to convince you of anything. I've seen the team play.

byujacob

7:42am

So have I.

ethanator

7:43am

And the fact that you won’t even address

ethanator

7:46am

But your point is invalid on the fact you admitted you haven’t watched them

The crazy expectations of this past summer were almost impossible to meet in Y1 for Young

Not crazy at all to expect more competitiveness, mental toughness

Your mom stinks. I haven’t been around her ever but judging from what I do see

This couldn't be more wrong. We have a lot of issues, but lack of effort isn't

We have been playing poorly, but individual talent is there.

Reasonable1

7:54am

Yes the talent is there but the effort and mental toughness isn’t

Pope just lost by double digits to an unranked team with a top 3 easiest place in the country to recruit to team.

That win certainly helped, but Georgia was/is a tournament team by basically all

And Houston and Texas Tech aren't?

RGGeemer

Okay, but Pope also lost to sub 100 ranked teams 10+ times while at byu. People are revising history with Pope.

RdF3

8:03am

He also just beat the team that beat #1 Tennessee.

NWCoug

8:45am

maybe you should watch a whole lot more

The first half of your first sentence tells me everything I need to know.
