Never bought into that. I'm more inclined to believe in the whole agency thing.

GL on stopping BYU AS A TEAM!! THE MOST PREPARED COACH I HAVE EVER SEEN AT BYU, IS NONE OTHER THEN BRONCO..

CATHOLICMAT IS BUCKING WITH COACH BRONCO AND BYU TO THE ROSE BOWL WHILE THE BRUINS OF UCLA ARE WILTING OUT!!: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

catholicmat! it seems like its been forever! I heard you on 1320 the other day, lol, you've got some great points!

With all that what will UCLA's excuse(s) be if they lose?:

1. We overlooked BYU - I mean BYU, a mid major, this should be easy pickens
2. We caught a mild case of Michiganitis
3. We're so fast that we ran past the BYU receivers and ball carriers
4. We worked so hard on tackling this week we forgot we were not practicing
against ourselves and we made a few mistakes and tackled our own
players
5. We got so caught up in our storied past that we forgot that we had
the responsibility to carry that tradition forward - we didn't play
up tp our potential.
6. This game doesn't mean much - this not a conference game and we're
not going undefeated anyway this year.
7. The 110,000 fans (?) turned out to be BYU supporters
8. It was the officials' fault - too many WAC, MWC, SEC, and Big 12
officials present to get a 'fair' break.
9. This game was really just a tune up - to find out our weaknesses so
that we work on them and get ready to play the big boys - such as USC,
etc.
10.We got beat by a better game plan and better play execution.

Just one? How about 10?...

1. UCLA is 12-1 at home the past 2 seasons
2. BYU is 1-6 vs. Bruins all-time
3. UCLA's defense
4. Ben Olson
5. 110,000 screaming UCLA fans
6. UCLA's quickness
7. UCLA's athleticism
8. BYU is on the road against a quality, non-conference foe
9. Hall's inexperience in an intimidating environment
10. Scoreboard

Airwolf, I read your post about Locke and your defensiveness eminated as you reacted to some posters telling you to leave. You leave little room for tolerance when you continually "mingle" actual stats with fiction. Go to rosebowlstadium.com and tell me how many people the stadium holds. Try 92,542. Now I am sure they could squeeze a few more in, maybe even a few thousand but 17,000+? I don't think so. And all of them are going to be UCLA fans? Yeah, right, against one of the best traveling teams in the NATION! I know for a fact that tickets have been distributed to wards and stakes all over SoCal for Youth groups to go and most will be screaming for BYU. I read here that the Students aren't even in school at UCLA yet to we'll probably see somewhere around 60,000 fans in the stadium if we're lucky and probably at least 10,000 will be screaming for the COUGARS! As to your other "reasons" I see # 1 and #8 being the only two with even the remotest sense of legitimacy. I think this will be close. I think BYU is better coached and therefore #8 slides down the list in terms of good argument. That leaves #1, which if it is even true (coming from you) and not distorted, is the only reason I would even give UCLA a chance. Otherwise BYU walks out with a 10-17 point win. As it stands I will say BYU wins 21-17.

Go Cougs!!!
