Whoa big fella. 1 Utah fan was involved with Conan in that one and it's not like your boy was a complete innocent in that either. As far as the other stuff, it's been awhile since I've seen anybody post a pic of Brian Johnson, etc. but perhaps I missed it. We're also well aware of Utah's QB problems, etc. but thanks for the reminder.
Good. Just as long as you recognize that there are two sides of this story. I just get tired of how homerish some of you guys are. You act as if nothing is wrong. Your team has some huge holes. And if I were you, I'd be a little worried. Next year, is more probable to be more of the same. You either start broken Wynn, crappy Hays, or start a very young inexperienced QB... Yikes! And who from your offense line is going to step up? I think it's painfully obvious that the offensive side of the ball has been forgotten/neglected for a few years now. Inexperience/lack of assertiveness from Roddick. And having a DC head coach probably didn't help either.
I think most of us wanted to see you compete well this year. It would be a victory for all the rest of us little guys. Boise St, TCU, BYU, Houston, Hawaii, etc.
However, you laying an egg, and then acting as if getting your asses kicked by Cal is somehow acceptable, and then bashing BYU, is a joke. that's bush league man, bush league.
Listen, I think any rational BYU fan would admit that Utah is a more talented team this year. Also, Doman is a very questionable (and this is kind) OC.
Nelson isn't a Div I QB for any good team. Yet, Hypes isn't a legit Div I QB for anyone. He's a complete bust. A Carlos Boozer like player. Who amazes you with his strong arm and talents. Yet, he has no instincts, no leadership, and is constantly talking about "we" instead of "I."
John Beck, had half the talent Hypes did. Yet, the dude was sincere, a leader, a competitor. He took responsibility when the team lost when it clearly wasn't even his fault.
Max Hall, despite his stupid comments, turnovers, and failures to read defenses, could at least get the job done most of the time.
BYU doesn't need Hypes. they have proven over 30+ years to be able to compete at pretty good (probably not BCS) levels without having "great" talent at the QB position.
Right now, BYU just needs a guy like Max Hall.
True, to win a NC, they'll probably need someone of special talent (although, that's not a given. Just look at what Brian Johnson did for Utah).
Likewise, Brian Johnson didn't have half the arm Hypes does. Yet, I'd take Brian Johnson RIGHT NOW, without conditioning or understanding of the BYU offense, and play him before I'd ever play Hypes.
to me, if Nelson beats TCU and leads the Cougs to an undefeated season, let him finish his career as a starter. Then, reload and get the QB that we want.
If Hypes wants to transfer, let him. He hasn't proven that he can even run a Dairy Queen (thanks Cuban).
BYU will survive. Hypes, will not. His eligibility clock is already ticking down. Maybe next time he'll watch film, actually get stronger, and workout with the receivers this next off season. But that might be too little too late.....
