Comments about ‘BYU football: Coach Bronco Mendenhall hoping to finish season with top-10 national ranking’

Bronco should be in the business of having a top 10 team, it's not going to happen but at least it should be a goal.

@NavalVet "Collin Card can't seem to get over his team being irrelevant"

Reality check for U, bro...nobody cares about U. The PAC 12 doesn't, their TV networks certainly don't, and neither does anybody outside of SLC.

U are in the PAC 12 now. Great. Duke and Maryland are in the ACC, Kentucky's in the SEC, Kansas and Iowa St. are in the Big XII, Minnesota and Indiana are in the Big 10. Are they relevant?

U tied Oregon St for the fewest TV showings by the PAC 12 networks last year at 4. U had to get a deal lined up with KJZZ just to air your other games. Your one game on ESPN2 came courtesy of your big brothers down south, and BYU's RUGBY team had as many games on ESPNU as U did.

U actually had fewer showings on National TV (2) than Indiana (4), Duke (4), Maryland (6), and Colorado (3).

And U run your football facilities out of a trailer park.

It doesn't get much more 'WAC-ish' and 'mid-majorish' than that.

Go Cougars!

re:Christy

I don't see the U finishing in the top 20 this year .... but maybe #25 isn't far off. The Y on the other hand won't even finish in the top 75. Think about it - playing Utah, Boise, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame on the road ... with Riley Nelson at QB? The BYU defense would have to be the best in history to even give the Y a chance at any of these games and it is far far from even being good. I stand by my 6-6 prediction for the Y this year. Mediocre at best. At least with the U - if they finish above 500 this year and playing in the Pac12 they get loads more respect and recognition than the Y. But hey .. maybe I'm wrong and the Y wins against the U, Boise and Notre Dame and Nelson throws for 10 TD's in those games. But I doubt it...

"Irrelevant" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

In other words, if REALLY thought BYU was "irrelevant," you wouldn't spend all your free time thinking about them and trying to convince everyone else that they are "irrelevant."

Logic. It's a tough pill to swallow.

In Stictches, I wish I could double like your comment. So true, and the Princess Bride reference was pretty great too.
