Same. The only time I’ve listened to sports radio at all since COVID started were the pre and post-game shows driving to/from the Wazzu game, and the post-game show after USC. Otherwise, I’ve tuned it out entirely since I only listened during my commute (that I no longer have),
And nothing of value was lost.

Update: Looks like a certain team is out of the Top 25.

Without Puka Nacua falling into their lap, BYU would be losing by 40 today.

Couldn’t happen to a finer group of young men.

Never really know what you got till you hit the road. They’ve been at home, or near home A LOT. The B12 will be a test (I’m higher on the B12 than most on this board I think) — Baylor, WVU, Cindy, UCF , TCU, Houston, OSU. These are real road trips.
As things stand in the last few years, I would say that the re-made Big XII is equal if not better from top to bottom than the PAC 12.

Looks like the top 20 is in the rearview mirror now too.

Wait, you mean they were overrated? Who would have guessed? Oh all of us.

Yeah…much as they’ve enjoyed a win over us, likely their highlight of the year, people have figured them out.
For one day they were the better team…Given our recent growth and team maturing I think a rematch would go down very differently

" he wants to make the game academic and use $5 words as if it somehow makes him superior to other play-by-play announcers."
Todd Christensen did the same thing. He drove me crazy.

You may be correct, but let’s not play the BYU fan game of “what if.” We’re better than that.

Agreed. They kicked our butts when we played. Sucks, but it is what it is.
In the grand scheme, I’ll trade a loss to them for that win over USC 10 times out of 10.

Is there an easier current Cougar to dislike than Puka Nacua?

Don’t know, I don’t pay much attention to them except scoreboard.
I’d say couldn’t happen to a finer fanbase. I don’t have anything against any of their players.

And to be fair, IMO only a segment of their fan base.

Yes, Sampson. Didn’t care for him when he was here either. Struck me as a “me first” type.

I’m not playing a what if…they were better on the day. I’m seeing a lot of improvement since then for a very young team. Nice thing…we don’t see them again until 2024…if that date holds

I never got that vibe from Samson.
