Wow, some of you guys should work for the White House, since you can spin anything pretty good.
You got worked by the Aggies. Worked physically...by a WAC team when supposedly I heard sleeper PAC-12 title talks. I agree as a fan you take it as just one game and look ahead and stay optimistic, but come on. You got PUNKED by little bro man...

The more I think about it, the more I think the right thing to do is start Hays this game. Do we really want Travis Wilson learning the ropes right now? I realize that if we were to pick a game left on our schedule where it's ok to lose or do less than well it would be this one - better to lose to BYU than one that counts for something in conference play - but Hays is more than adequate and we have time to bring Wilson along.
The only benefit I see is if Whitt is planning on starting Wilson for Arizona State and USC. If that's the case, start him now as this is kind of the equivalent of a preseason game and it will give him some good experience. If not, then go with Hays.

And your point in regards to how it effects the upcoming Utah-BYU game?
Last year it took a deflected TD pass from Riley Nelson for BYU to squeak by USU at home. This year BYU has beaten a Wazzu team that barely snuck past Eastern Washington last week and Weber State. Obviously, Utah hasn't faired much better and has a ton of question marks moving forward. IMO, neither team is sitting pretty right now.
Obviously, BYU is currently in a better position, but my hunch is that Utah comes out and plays well (even if they're missing John White). I see a lot of BYU fans getting a little ahead of themselves. It's going to be a very competitive game.

And on a side note, I'm absolutely THRILLED that BYU cracked the top 25 heading into this game. While it's just a mental thing, I think it helps Utah with the "dog backed into a corner" mentality. A talented team coming off a bad loss, with their hated rival coming to town sporting a brand new ranking.

It is interesting how many BYU haters jumped off the WSU bandwagon.
Some moronic hater in the BYU thread said this:
BYU beats WSU easily.
"Nevermind, WSU sucks."

I owned up to that prediction over in the BYU thread. Either you haven't seen it, or intentionally left out that part just so you could do your normal little song and dance (predictable as ever). I vastly overrated the immediate impact Mike Leach would have at WSU. After seeing how badly they struggled against Eastern Washington, it was even more evident.
You got me big man, I was wrong about how dangerous Wazzu would be coming out of the gate. However, it doesn't change the fact that they do suck, and BYU has achieved a ridculous top 25 rating based on wins against 2 really bad teams.
Enjoy the ranking for the next 5 days. It won't last long.
