want to see another scary stat?



Compile what we win by on average, and what we lose by on average...



<< SHUDDER >>



<< DOUBLE SHUDDER >>

I wish he could learn something. Particularly re the rivalry game. The utes do not prep for byu like its just anther game. Still, I am fully behind Bronco and have to believe this is a very tough loss. Kyle has owned Bronco. And that has just got to suck really really bad. The guy who was first choice.

What you consider to be a big game is far too overly inclusive. UW? UTEP? Tulsa? Really?

Third!



Including WSU this year? We all knew our 4 big games coming into this year. We are 0-1 so far. We might have to add a 5th game in USU as they seem to be the best team in the state this year. We will be lucky to get out of this season with no less than 4 losses.

So after the second game of 2006, Bronco's record is over.600?

If you include WSU, Tulsa, UTEP, UW, OrST, Ole Miss and a bad UCLA team, than yes. These games were not "big" games. They were average competition at best that we were favored to win. Shouldn't count in this thread!

You can pick and choose what ever games you want. If the metric is fire Bronco because he does not win the games he's picked to lose, that's a weird metric, but certainly your right. What pains me is we should have won last night and did not and for this game at least some of it perhaps most of of it is on the coaches....
