Which game would you take back?

Post by Mars »


Which game would you take back? The home loss to St. Mary's makes a lot of sense. Maybe LMU. Or the road loss at USU. But I'll go with the Baylor game. Every team in the conference would have a higher RPI today if we had won that one.

Oh tough call. The USU loss stings, but it was the first game of the season. SMC and LMU sting as well especially since one more win in league play right about now would come in handy.

But, I think you're right. The Baylor game would be the one I'd take back. That gives us a win against a top team. No one could claim we haven't beaten anyone this season. Plus we would have been the ones to hand Baylor their first loss.

I would take back USU because it is our only bad loss, but I would entertain arguments for any of the losses as each of them have a piece of them that is hard to digest. I don't find it disgraceful at all to lose to a good team. USU has not been a good team. They did the same to us last year in FB. Beat us and then stunk it up. I know Jardine is out for the season, but their losing woes started before that.

Any of the 3.
1) USU 2) LMU 3) SMC@Provo

Aggies since they are a legit recruiting rival for us for players we want. Or Utah - it would be fun to wax them twice like the good old days.

Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.

How would taking back the Utah game help us wax them twice?

He just wants to beat them again. Kind of like Groundhog Day but improved.

Could you imagine a more miserable ground hog day? I mean sure, beating Utes is fun but it's really almost too easy right now. And we'd have to deal with miserable Ute fans every day. Ugh, no thanks!

It's definitely the Baylor game for me. The chance to beat a top 10 team doesn't come around everyday. We missed a HUGE opportunity there
