"BYU HAS 0 chance of beating AFA"
Pretty stiff odds. How'd we win?

Zero chance | 5:21 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
I sure hope our zero chance of beating Utah turns out the same as our zero
chance of beating AF.

where are all the geniuses that said There is Zero chance that BYU will beat
airforce, especially the so called "byu fan". you make me sick. anyone
who knows anything about football should never say zero chance.
Cougars Win Again! | 5:22 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
In spite of all the holding AFA did on our receivers and the illegal signal
calling and other distractions by their defense to try to cause us false start
penalties. Which they finally got flagged for. Why is Calhoun teaching his
players to cheat? Is that his desperate new strategy to get some wins? I thought
the cadets were above that sort of thing.

Oh this is going to be great. I will get to see my Utes put a hurt on Maxie
Hall. Yer going to finish 3rd place Zoobs. Knock Maxie right out of the game.
Pass Defense | 5:24 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Air Force WAS ranked 10th in pass defense...that was until they meet Max Hall
and the excellent BYU receivers. We know that the utes can defend the run but
can they defend the pass? The utes have not faced a passing attack like the one
they will face next Saturday! All I can say is that they will have their hands
full trying to stop Hall to Collie!
Too bad | 5:24 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Imagine how humiliating it must be to to lose to the most over-rated 17th ranked
team ever.
Go Nevada!
Go Nevada!

Unfortunately, my computer model calls this one for Air Force, with an 80% liklihood.
Dude...looks like it's time to get a new computer model. East Coast Egghead??! Take my advice and don't go to Vegas, smart guy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Yewts posts shown that they are not smart. stupid I'd say. If I were a

Wrong, Cougar Breath Breather! And somehow I have a feeling you're going to be wrong next week too.

Utah played Air Force in CO Springs. I dont really care who won by how many but
if your going to comment atleast be accurate

You know that BYU is overlooking Utah so they can prepare more for the Utes.
No, actually we were overlooking Air Force so that we could prepare more for Air Force. Or something like that. Please try to not drink so much before you post again.

BYU fan | 5:35 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
BYU played so much better this game. They dominated Air Force in the third
quarter with 21 points. Their defense also improved. I am so excited for next
week's game against Utah. Go BYU!
BYU81&2 | 5:36 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Keep talking, might Ute fans. You should have lost to TCU and Oregon State and
were fortunate to beat New Mexico. Very, very lucky to be 10-1.
re: ute fans | 5:36 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Just like BYU predicting a loss for utah at New Mexico, Oregon State, and TCU.
lol
BYU81&2 | 5:37 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
My mistake, keyboard error - I know the Utes are 10-0.
The Quest was a bust | 5:42 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008

Us little Yewties will be sending your school a large check. It's more than you'll make in San Diego or Albuquerque or back to the scene of the crime in Ft. Worth.
Air Force 41
BYU 34
We're not jealous, we're just really really glad we're not ute fans. Really. You were wrong about today's game and I don't think you'll be sending anyone a big check after next week. Get ready for a another loss to the defending MWC Champs, chump.

AFA carried the ball 51 times today averaging 6.3 yards per carry. Against Utah they carried 42 times for 1.3 per carry average.

BCS Money | 5:50 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Nice win for the boys down south. But in reality, if you want MWC to gain
respect in the national media... just give Utes a good game and lose at RES so
Utes can go to a BCS bowl and earn the money and respect the MWC deserves.
It's a win-win situation for both teams!
jd | 5:50 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
And in the 11th game of the year, byu finally beat a team with a winning record.
I guess we do have a defense | 5:53 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Re; Bear Laker | 12:09 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
When you have a great defense, you make your own luck...Today is your second tough game and it feels similar to the TCU game...Nervous? They should be. Air Force is more disciplined and will give the kittens their second loss and take them out of the top 25. I will be wearing my red tie to church tomorrow. I expect a few of my fellow cougars are feeling the flu coming on about now.
Uh, yeah the flu...I feel fine. Great in fact. How are u feeling right about now? Kind of nervous is my guess since we scored more against AFA than your little team did. AFA scored 23 on you and 24 against us. Wow u guys have such a GREAT defense to hold them to ONE POINT less than we did. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Have fun wearing your red tie to Sunday School class tomorrow because you won't want to wear it next Sunday.

Calhoun is a class coach that doesn't teach his players to
"cheat". The game was called vary fairly, what game were you
watching?
FYI, I remember watching a Lavell Edwards coached team come to SLC to play the Utes a few years back. The byu offensive linemen all showed up wearing RED gloves so they wouldn't be called for holding.
He who casts the first stone......

Halftime at AF. AF 14-Kewgies only 10. OUCH! Another team with a winning record. OUCH! Be ready for your humble pie. It's coming. BYU could be eliminated from the conference champ this afternoon. I'm raising my Ute flag right now.
Reality? Yeah right typical yewt "reality" (i.e. La La Land). I guess you spoke too soon, which is what yoots do all the time. Time to lower your flag and wait unitl bext year since the Cougars are going to win next week too.

Bring on the Newts! | 6:03 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
When the Newts lose to the Y they will claim that the sun/snow/stadium lights
got in their eyes, but the final score will still show BYU as the victor, and
three-peat conference champions, even if the have to share it.
The quest for perfection go through adversity... in the end it doesn't matter if you fall now and then, Winners get back up!

have fun getting POUNDED by the academy. �You will be demoralized coming into RES and Utah will win 63-7�I'm tired of consistently going to BCS bowls and sharing the money with BYU.
You're tired of doing that? It's only happened one time. I'll bet you're great holding down a job, too: "Boss, I made fries yesterday on my first day on the job. I'm TIRED of doing that". Whiney ewets. By the way, when is the pounding supposed to happen? Or is it the pounding of your heart as your fear mounts now that your little team has to play the Cougars?

All this bragging and chest thumping is what gets BYU in trouble. I predict that both Utah and Air Force will overpower BYU...Utah has dominated the MWC of late and it will happen again, I fear.
Nice post, accusing us of bragging and chest thumping so how do you end your post? With arrogant yewt bragging and chest thumping of course. Your prediction about Air Force didn't happen (shocker!) and I don't think you're other prediction will come true either. Have fun crying in your beer next Saturday evening.

I didn't see any. I guess you folded up your booth and left with 5 minutes to go in the 4th like many of the AFA fans did. Look on the bright side, maybe you can earn some money by washing cars with them or sell them to your own fans after next week. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Who's AF big win against? Navy? Oh that's right they beat AF. Look
at Af schedule. It's similar to BYU's. They have played a couple of
more teams with an above 500% Record. Utah overated? Lets not forget how
overated BYU is? Utah two wins against top 25 teams and BYU has zero.
Scoreboard!

byu will lose this weekend to the AFA because their achilles heel will show up again. Their defensen is terrible.
And your predictions are terrible. So is your nickname for that matter. AFA just couldn't seem to take advantage of our "awful" defense. They scored one whole point more against us than against the u. Wow, some great defense u guys have. So impressive.

Come on. If you are using that logic then you have to use the TCU game as an
example. Not only that but this is your first win against an above terrible
team this year.
Y Grad / Y Dad | 6:48 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
By the way, I hope it wasn't lost on the Utah fans that BYU blocked ANOTHER
kick. I seem to recall a lack of respect on that topic in the past.
And how about that Collie!?!?!

Y Grad/ Y Dad | 7:17 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
The smell is still in the air how they had to block an 0 and 9 team to seal a
win early in the season. Loving it Y fan. That win was arguably the best win
ever. Way better than the U over Michigan win. Who do you really think wins
that game. The U will still share its BCS money with you.
Cougar Fans? | 7:19 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Are you all serious? Did you see how many rushing yards AF put against your
mighty D. I guess 300+ yards isn't a bad sign. Did you see how effective
the Air Force passing game was once they started throwing the ball? Did you know
that was a freshman qb. Are you seriously running your mouths? Seriously guys?
Good luck coming into our house and doing anything against our D. If I remember
right were ranked 7th in the nation. Why you ask? Because we didn't put our
tails between our legs against TCU. 32-7 ring a bell? Or how about 13-10? Guess
not see you and cosmo in the muss. Remember the score last time we were busting
the BCS? Yeah thats gonna happen again. Although this time time you'll be
lucky to get to twenty.
nice defense | 7:22 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
gave up 421 yds to AFA.
Bring this defense next week --and we will gladly deliver about 1 mil for your school after New Year.
RE:Anonymous | 6:26 p.m. Nov. 15 | 7:22 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
above 500% Record? What's that? Win every game 5 times more than you
played them? 500% huh? Typical Ute logic...again.
re: Great D 6:40pm | 7:24 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
We sense your fear...the yoots are going to get their first L this season
