Default Enjoyed the TCU vs. BSU game

No doubt BSU would totally destroy BYU on a neutral field. And home field. And away field. And field on the moon.

Dang, TCU defense is a thing of beauty.

Beating TCU next season--tall hill to climb.

Imagine if BSU were in the MWC. BYU, as currently constituted and coached, would be outmanned by 3 teams in terms of both superior players and superior coaches.

Towards the end of this BYU season, I had a lot of trouble mustering any enthusiasm for this team. It's just felt hard to get behind these guys, a team lacking in both performance and personality. I think the Max Hall honeymoon is officially over. We are sick of your act Max. Keep your head down, and your mouth shut, and work on improving your game. And no we don't give a damn about your "passion" or how you "get in peoples faces."

The Quest becomes The Farce. Tired of this.

It was a fun game to watch.

I will admit that I would love BSU in the MWC. But getting rid of the blue turf would be a requirement.

Awful turf.

Tired of "this?" Dude- BYU won the MWC two out of the last 3 years. They came within 1 game of winning it again this year (shared). People need to get some perspective.

Clarification: 11-1 since the creation of the MWC in 1998. 12-1 if including the 2003 bowl against TCU (then C-USA).

Also FWIW, 16-5 all-time against the current 9 teams.

** Further clarification: At the very least, it should be 10-1. They didn't beat BYU in 2004. BYU beat themselves.

Is that the Poppinga game?

Cool


Boise State lost by 1 point to the best MWC team this year on a MWC home field. That tells us that they would have gone 8-0 against the rest of the conference. Utah couldn't beat the Broncos.
