I am seeing Excitement! Passion! Jumping around!

This is very exciting for me to see our team really excited and really playing well. I am disappointed that some of you thought that we would not play well.... 17-0 5:57 left in the half. Harvey is a monster and Pitta ROCKS GOOOOO COUGS!!!!

Agreed, the emotion from the players has been the best part of the game so far.



Rich is also having a great game.

BYU hasn't had trouble with Air Force for many reasons. The biggest, is that they don't offer enough speed on their D to give us any trouble with what we do. We can throw over them or run them over...



The last thing AF needed was a lackluster performance by BYU vs UNM, because now the Cougs have something to prove to the fans and themselves.



I dont' expect this game to be close



BYU 34 AF 10

When I posted that, I thought I was being a little overly optimistic..guess not

How bout Logan today. He's got to be a good foot shorter than the receivers he's matching up with and doing just fine. You know that they schemed to get one on one vs Logan, and he's holding his own.

Good job guys... an all around smack-fest!!! What passion and excitement! That just fires me up!

That was a very good game with the offense getting a little sloppy after the bogus unsportsmanlike penalty against Hall that wiped out the TD. Max's performance when he's angry isn't as good as when he's focused. But I loved the spirit he showed during the game.

What's funny is later on in the game, Logan had a HUGE pass break-up and Pendleton came up behind him and was celebrating with him, and then starting pushing him over and over again in the back, and Logan finally fell down, and then as he got up Pendleton tackled him to the ground in excitment.

Lots of passion on both sides of the ball. They looked the most like the 2006 team that I've ever seen from them.

I thought that was hilarious, but was very surprised the refs didn't flag BYU for that.

It was really good to see the players having a lot of fun, and the fans were really getting into it. It was one of the most electric nights at LES in a long time.



The only downer in the game was the three jerks that sit next to us, who spent the whole game talking about how glad they were that Max was going to be gone soon, and how he is a lousy QB.

Totally inappropriate because BYU was playing Air Force and the policy is don't ask don't tell. :gross: But look on the bright side there are only two more games where we will have to hear how bad Hall is.

And then a whole season of "Oh man, I wish we still had Max Hall...."

If BYU isn't up for :utard: then they just shouldn't even show up next week.



I am glad to hear they had passion for today's game. AFA is a good team, but they just don't matchup well against BYU. Obviously, BYU was looking past NM last weekend.

If refs show as much passion, excitement, and jumping around like they did for AF, we have little chance

Two quick thoughts.

1) I LOVED the excitement but I worry that as soon as things started to turn (ie. really awful calls as discussed in other threads) Max seemed to lose focus a bit. The "D" stayed up for the most part but the "O" worried me in the 2nd half after the crappiest call of them all.



2) If I heard correctly (and I would really like someone to corroborate what they heard on this) Bronco was asked after the game about certain players (ie. Max) getting pumped and having it transfer to the team. His reply bothered me because I thought he said, He is happy with leadership but ultimately he wants them to all be leaders and not have to get pumped up by one or two and play/execute with composure...yada yada yada.



Please clarify if you heard otherwise of remember more accurately. It was in his first segment before he was well-miked.



Go Cougs!!!

That is what he said, but he concluded by stating again how proud he is of the job Max is doing leading the team. So it was a double endorsement--several leaders leading, still liking the leadership Max was individually showing. Given both elements, I didn't have any trouble with his approach.

Let's hope they haven't established a pattern
