The hype machine is building
http://sev.prnewswire.com/sports/200...3062008-1.html
New ground for Mendenhall to manage expectations. Does the BCS actually help BYU in that the collective national angst against it has the press scouring the countryside for some unfairly marginalized team to overhype? Given that in college football perception has a big impact on ranking, glory and adulation perhaps. Personally, it is going to be a fun year where BYU is going to win a heck of a lot of games again, but how I worry for many in BYU's fanbase when that first loss comes. I do think BYU has a good chance of upsetting Iowa in the opening game..won't that be great to have Hayden Fry and Hawkeyes in LES? Revenge for Ty's errant throw, baby! I'll be '71 had hard nipples thinking of that matchup!

Yea, good point.
Now I can't even brag I have good seats. I just told them they can have my 2 tickets back. I did a cost analysis. $600 to watch one game I really am excited about just didn't make sense, especially when I can get the seats back next year when I like the schedule better. I have lost that feeling that I used to have that I am letting the team down if I don't show up. |

our loss to WA in the first game will quiet the hype somewhat.

Age has to be part of it. I don't like the thought of the two hour drive to the game and the two hour drive back. I can only take so much of listening to Greg Wrubell go giddy on the schedule and how good BYU is.

I have seen losses fairly recently at Notre Dame, SC, Boston College, UCLA, and Alabama. It would be nice to see a win at a BCS stadium (besides Ga Tech). EDIT: wait, we lost AT Ga tech, won at home. I dont know if I have ever seen a win at a BCS stadium yet.

Sounds like the jealousy of one man unable to enjoy the benefits of a good orgasm towards another who sometimes has one 3-4 times per game....."Harvey 10..Harvey 5 Touchdown Harvey!"

I will still have them, but they will be on the couch and not in front of some old lady yelling, down in front.
