TCU has taken the BYU crowd right out of the game. We could sure take a lesson
from the Utah fans.
Disappointed! | 7:35 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Cougars are horrible! They don't deserve to be ranked, let alone play in
any post season bowl game. Sorry, but what an embarrassment.
Hold on... | 7:35 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
31 to 7. Dalton has already thrown 3 touch downs. So so slow.
BYU's past 5 losses came at the hands of Arizona, FSU, Utah and now to TCU for the second time. All have extemely quick players. Hall has happy feet again and is hit even when he throws the ball. I can't wait to smack around some more cougars. A spanking in progress... I see fans clearing out already. Take the weights off your bellies BYU.

BYU is the most over rated team of all time. It doesn't matter who they
play or how good they are they lack the drive to win.
What do these coaches do all week?

Make That 31-7 | 7:39 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
I posted this morn on you two schools (ewet's & wonderful ones), now
how big chested are you? It's Las Vegas & maybe San Diego for you two,
and will be for a long, long, long time! Pathetic rhetoric is all you are about
at both rinky dink schools. Reality means nothing to either school, so just
dream on.

Once again and like many years in the past, BYU has succeeded in making an a
goodoffensive team look better than it is. The problem is, BYU's defense
came out with the same BAD non-attacking scheme that wins against average teams
but ALWAYS LOOSES when playing top ranked opponents. Not going for it on 4th
and 2 at the TCU 49 was also a mistake. Bronco psychologically told his players
they aren't good enough and he didn't trust them. BYU's coaching
staff is simply making enormous game plan and execution mistakes and it has to
end. 10-2 seasons are fine when the wins come against top flight programs, but
losing this way to TCU again is unforgivable. BRONCO, you need accountability
among your defensive coaches. It's inexcusable. If BYU was a fortune 25
company and its managers performed this badly against FSU and TCU they would be
fired.
no passion | 7:43 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
how can you not get up for big games. Again poor execution and the looked
confused and lost out there. Max can't make a play to save his life.
There is usually a man open but he just does not see the field.
TCU Alumnus | 7:44 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Way to go Horned Frogs. Sorry BYU....

So calling for the firing and shake up of BYU's defensive coaches
isn't enough 'eh. TCU is not defeating BYU w/Speed. TCU hasn't
done squat when BYU pressed and rushed 5. This is another case of BYU's
defensive coaches calling an extremely bad game plan.
Get Rid of Football | 7:49 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Tired of being disappointed. I would rather not have FB than have to watch any
more of this madness.
Dalton .. | 7:52 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
will be the better professional. He doesn't make mistakes and has more
poise. He also has more time to throw the ball. Hall can't focus. 38-7
Oh no! | 7:53 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Overated. Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!
Utah | 7:54 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
will have their hands full but there is no way they will be man-handled like is
happening now 38-7. Embarassing loss for BYU

Speed Kills | 7:55 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
We've been saying it for months. BYU's lack of speed and discipline
will cost them the game. WOW!

I guess no BCS game or NC this year for us. I am assuing the LV bowl again but

so good to see Max is back!!! Picks and fumbles....Heisman yeah right!

12:00 left in the game and Versus just panned the stadium...at least 25% of the
fans are GONE!!
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lee Corso was right- TCU all the way.
You still have the Utes and maybe a trip to some low level bowl game where you will lose as well.
OVER RATED
Out of the top 25 for good.
Amen brother

OK, a possible solution. Several good high school programs have sports psych
departments that teach performance pressure, leadership, focus, and relaxation.
Get the skill guys to just 'audit' a few weeks in one of those. Heck
(or fetch), Bingham has one. Just one letter difference, the school colors are
the same, they'd feel right at home!

Obviously BYU's win over Oklahoma was a fluke and going down to the airport
to celebrate on the Sabbath was a really bad idea.

I watched Utah and Air Force today and I'm seeing TCU's players run
all over the field. BYU's players need to lose some weight.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA | 8:02 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
BYU is the definition of "Over-rated". Remember the "National
Chapionship" plans cougar fans had before the Florida State game.
The problem is that the cougars start to believe their own hype. The y is a good team, it has not shown any signs of being a great team since the good old Lavel days. The y has no business being in the top 25 period.

Now 38-7 and adding! Just what the load mouths deserve! Make sure you show up on
this web page this next week "Wonderful ones", I'm looking
forward to your pathetic excuses!

BYU's lack of heart is stunning. Kyle Whittingham didn't want to
coach BYU because he would have had to give up his heart.
Complain | 8:06 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Complain about what you want, but TCU is just the better team. BYU is losing to
the better team. BYU is a good team, TCU is a great team.
Go Horned Frogs! Go and bust the BCS.

To all of the intelligent y fans that have had good things to say about the Utes
and are realistic about their own team before the season and up til now... I
feel for ya. That's a tough game to swallow.
To the ignorant y fans that were predicting a 7-5 season or worse for Utah and that the y was bringing home a heisman winner and a National Championship... where you at now? You're probably not even reading these articles let alone the comments. But if you are... at least have manhood to eat some crow.

TCU is now being accommodating and just keeping it on the ground with 5:00 left.
That will keep the score in the 'reasonable' range and allow
headlines to adequately explain the 'close' loss.
I ATE Cosmo | 8:17 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
Near the 8 minute mark in the 4th quarter, BYU had 7 guys defending TCU's 4
lineman yet TCu still got pressure on Hall + a holding penalty. That's just
sad. I feel sorry for BYU. But on the bright side, at least it's not a 40
point blowout.

MGM is slightly cheaper and better than Bellagio. If you want to spend lots then go Mandalay Bay.
Rio is overrated.
My personal fave is the Luxor

Good teams don't get smocked at home.
I don't think that will ever happen to Utah today.

In 2nd quarter: TCU was this sharp against Utah last year, but they only got
field goals. TCU gave the game away on the hill last year.
Uh, TCU only scored 10 points last year at Utah. They were up 21-nothing in the SECOND QUARTER tonight!
At halftime: Utah was lucky to beat Air Force today.
At this point, I guess that's all they got on BYU broadcasts on KSL- try to criticize the Utes!!
War a one-loss Utah playing an undefeated TCU in November as see what happens!

If the cougies had half the heart of Air Force, it would have been a game - If
CougarNation had some class, the exits wouldn't be jammed at the end of the
third quarter.
Corso calls 'em as he sees 'em.
Superfrog.

Wasn't it "I bleed blue" Mr Harmon who wrote an article after the
OK game explaining how Bronco was correct that it's execution not speed
that wins games? Execution is important, but speed along with execution will
beat the Y 9 times out of 10.

The Corn Dogs are a great team and should be the MWC BCS busters this year. The
Utes are just going to be another speed bump on the way to TCU's Conference
Championship. The Y needs to recruit some faster D-backs. The current crew
looks like they're wearing cement cleats

High school sports psych departments teach focus, heart, and competitiveness.
Gte the Cougs in to audit a class or two.

Why do I keep hearing "Las Vegas here we come"? The Las Vegas Bowl is
for the MWC CHAMPS!
TRUE BLUE | 8:39 p.m. Oct. 24, 2009
BYU actually has a better team than TCU, it is just that so many Cougar players
were not feeling well. The Cougars will stop defeat Utah without any problem. GO
COUGS!!
