2.) BYU struggles, due to uhhhhh system shortcomings, when playing teams with better football players than theirs.

Brilliant my man, purely brilliant!
One word for you: Tulsa.

Bronco was owned in that game. Absolutely owned.

Are you seriously going to bash on Tressel? If you're going to bash on Tressel, that leaves about two coaches in the entire cosmos that have what it takes.

P.S. Since he won a national title in 2002, how did he come to lose what it takes after at one time possessing it?

LOL. We're going to determine coaching quality by their worst games? Who's left standing after that nimrod approach?

One word in a season of thirteen words for opponents ain't all bad in my book. Exactly where does Tulsa of 2007 compare to SMU in 2005?

Even in Bronco's lowpoints he still owns the guy whose jock he couldn't carry.

SDSU vs. SMU. That's a tough one to determine which is worse.

Patterson's high points are undeniably higher than Bronco's. Do I need to spell it out, or will you graciously agree?

Patterson has also had many more years as a head coach. Patterson did beat OU. That was a huge win. He also had a better run with 3 double digit win seasons out of 4 or 4 out of 5. That also was impressive. However, his performance the past two years has me convinced that much of his double digit win runs was inflated by playing in the worst 1-A conference.

In the end this is my honest opinion, Mendenhall is a better head coach. I would like to see what Mendenhall does with the momentum he has built over the next couple of years before coming to any conclusions on whose higher points are higher.

Are you that humor impaired? Do I need a nice emoticon?

I was trying to show Mike how absurd his premises were that Bronco struggled when he met teams of equal or superior athletic ability.

Not hold his jock was not an exact quote there, so if Mike never said that mea culpa. However, there is no question that Mister Waters after watching both coaches ply their trade for a certain amount of time came to very a very strong conclusion as to which HC was superior, and since that date it appear that perhaps he was correct. In fact it is not very close, and Waters never picked a winner in the matchup. But most of us know he doesn't say much good about his beloved BYU.

Arch, your doom-and-gloom summary judgements in the world of sports leaves me to take your comments as serious by default.
