BYU didn't need sheer hook, crook, desire and gumption to beat Az., BC, UCLA or Tulsa. Those teams weren't necessarily better teams, they just played better and won. All we need to do is upgrade our talent a bit and we will be fine. |

Well, I guess Boise St. has a greater signature victory than BYU. And that is kind of sad.

The point is that BYU might have had games that at the time appeared like an upset, but once the dust settles from the entire season and the game is placed in proper context, BYU usually beat a team it was better than. That is really not so offensive to me.

We talk big, but seem to come up short almost every time. I'm tired of losing bowl games. I'm tired of being disgusted (Motor City Bowl). I'm tired of being ashamed. That's the promise of Bronco. That he will change all that. I'm hopeful, but I'm still waiting. |

He doesn't have many signature wins either. That is why I have backed off of my love affair with Bronco mania just a little bit. |

no palms on the floor, just staring into the stall at this point?

I don't understand how you could think Bronco has not delivered on his promises so far. So I hope he doesn't shame you much more.

This reminds of Lou Holtz. He stated when he first came to ND, he was told to win. The first season, they went 8 and 4. He was told, "you don't understand coach, you're supposed to win." So next season, they go 10 and 2 and he thought he would be commended. "You don't understand coach, we wanted you to win." Next season, ND goes undefeated and wins the national championship, so he thought they would finally be satisfied, "Coach, do it again." Bronco, do it again.

I bet he will do it again, but I think anyone expecting him to do it every year is setting themselves up for emotional suicide. BYU is what it is.

Losing to UCLA is almost a rite of passage, but losing to Tulsa is an insult.
