Hmmm, FSU was not the opening offense that BYU faced. Is locker better then Oklahoma's offense was last year. Wasn't 3 of their offensive players taken in the top 10 of the NFL draft last year. This is why you get banned Airwolf.
The problem with Airwolf isn't the incessant negativity and poor stat-backing of his posts. We've got plenty of similarly guilty posters here that manage just fine. I don't mind posters that "keep things interesting." The real problem with Airwolf is that his prolific posting dominates the board with this type of tripe, lowering the quality of the forum by turning the prevailing discussion to constant bickering over a useless cause (convincing him he's wrong).
Airwolf is worse than a troll or a ute, because his methods are more insidious. If this keeps up I recommend his removal from the board, unless he can calm down a little and concede disagreement every once in a while rather than constantly fanning the flames.
Heaven forbid I should have a differing opinion of BYU football. :lol:
Again, having a different opinion isn't what you're doing wrong. You change the character of the message board and delight in the fact that everyone is spitting all their venom in your direction. I don't want this to become "Anti-Airwolf" Corner.
I agree. I hope that Airwolf can tone down his rhetoric and be just another poster on here with a different opinion and able to back it up with stats and data or agree to disagree. But if it is just a continuation of "it's a fact", etc, and the board becomes to negative he will be removed.
So now there are specific phrases I am not supposed to use because they can be interpreted as or denote a 'confrontational' attitude? Wow. :lol:
OK, you want some facts backed up with stats... here you go (you asked for it):
Fact: BYU would be hard-pressed to win 7-8 games every year if they weren't in the MWC.
Stats to back this up:
Wins last year (team & final national rank): Oklahoma (17), Utah (24), Oregon State (34), AFA (35), Wyoming (82), UNLV (93), Utah State (100), SDSU (103), CSU (106), UNM (136), Tulane (141)
Final avg. rank of teams defeated: 80
Losses last year: TCU (4), FSU (31)
Avg.: 18
Five of BYU's wins last year came against teams ranked 100 or worse.
I know... somehow this information is 'skewed' and shows my hatred for the Cougs.
Would you like me to do the same for previous years?
