Locker, as a sophomore two years ago, got 27 points on the Cougs and only lost by one point to BYU in the Huskies' worst season ever (0-12). I'm sure this time around with Locker as a Senior, loaded at WR and being a Heisman trophy contender will be no problem too. :lol:

And then Locker got knocked out for the season the very next game, rendering that season sample worthless. Plus, BYU won in Seattle when Locker was healthy and full speed and has not lost to UW at home. BYU plays way better at home, especially v. PAC-0 schools. And we are more talented rigt now than then, especially on D.



But what do you know? Not much, really.

Right. Because every time you are proven wrong you try to explain how you were almost right. PS you still owe me a krispy kreme donut from last year remember...

No, I became public enemy #1 in here 7 years ago (can't believe it has been that long :bug: ) when I predicted BYU to get blown out by 30+ points to both CSU and Boise State (at home no less) in '03. Those two predictions started a campaign of hate that has never subsided since all because the Cougs were outscored 108-25 in two games, with my predictions being spot on.

With many, many more wring predictions,

I've noticed you not predicting a losing season like you used to every year, what's with that???



And a burrito? I thought your passion was the overpriced hotdogs!

Does that change the fact that they still went 0-12?

Not with a new QB and especially with no running back and if BYU has an achilles heel, it's their pass defense, specifically the secondary. Any non-conference foe (D I-A) with a good QB, decent RB and receivers is going to cause the Cougs problems, period.



But what do you know? Not much, really.



Thanks... when you guys take pot shots at me, I know I'm keeping reality in your minds.

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:

Yes Airwolf, and that was about the last time you were right about anything BYU too. You have been wrong 9 times out of 10 when predicting your negativity since Bronco took over the team and yet you still predict it like Crowton is still the head coach. You seem to enjoy eating your own bile but the rest of us recognize it for what it is, bile.

I was at the UW game, and to say the refs weren't biased would be crazy, locker wouldn't have had a celebration call if the refs called the game fairly, on the forth down conversion , there wa the most blatant clipping I have ever seen, and locker went to the spot that was vacated by the clipping, and that's how they got th first down.



And this is a better defense this year.



An welcome back, we always appreciate your "reality checks" with skewed statistics which are 90% proven wrong.



And FYI, you always mention Florida stare, I can say the Oregon state game where byu CREAMED a top 25 team with the first team all PAC 10 qb an rb

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.

Reality?! Dude, most fans here expect this team to go 9-4 with bowl win. Maybe 10-3. How is that not realistic, based upon the last 4 years of success and recruiting?? And yeah, there was a QB change in that streak. The coaching staff deserves more respect than you are giving, that is certain.

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.

You hit it right on. I makes the dialogue significantly 'lamer'. lower quality. While it is good to have opposing opinions, airwolf really is not providing that, he simply trying to get a rise out of posters. he likes attention. i have a feeling he probably married a real wench and he now goes looking for attention and purpose in odd places.

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?

Nope. You became a private enemy of mine when you called the entire administration of BYU hypocrites because the (gasp) charged for the food at LES. You constantly intimate that they are lining their pockets with the money of people who cannot afford what BYU is charging and that BYU is run by evil people. I couldn't care less about you always being wrong about sports, or your constantly trying to state how you are constantly almost right, it's your "BYU is run by evil people, and I know it because I'm a social worker" attitude that gets on my nerves.

I felt pretty justified in calling out the university on greed when a little hot dog and drink costs you $6.50. You can get a large dog and 32 oz. drink (on special) at a gas station for $2.99, and they're probably some of the worst at jacking prices up, but here, BYU is $3.51 higher for the two? :lol:

And you still cannot state who is lining thier pockets with money because of this so-called "greed". Is it the women who have athletic programs, or the students working as cashiers, it certainly isn't the administration.... is it? :roll:

Yeah how dare BYU have high prices like that!!



Oh...wait...I just remembered something. The people working the concessions at BYU games are local high school students raising money for their group or organization!!! Have you ever noticed how the people working at the concession stands have matching shirts that say "AF Marching Band" or "Troop 754"? Well wolfie ,that's because a significant amount of the money that is spent at their concession stand goes to them!!! BYU is helping local groups raise money for themselves!! And for most of these groups the majority of all the money they raise during a single year comes from working BYU concessions.



But yeah BYU should stop letting these groups work concessions because poor old Airwolf doesn't like paying an extra $3.51 for his meal.



Oh the humanity!!!!
