Hey OLB the only thing worst than complainers is hearing someone complain about complaining that is 4 days away!?? dry your eyes and be expecting a bill from me. You owe for the time I spent reading your sob story.


I can't really refute the first two comments, since nobody has an insight into my personal life. But #3 is simply ridiculous, especially from someone with less than a dozon posts. Look at all of my other 1,100 plus posts before making a comment about which team I support.

In fact, it is because I am such a fan of BYU that I want to nip this whining fade in the butt. It is one of the worst character traits of the average BYU fan -- that the refs did us in. In almost every case, it is a dishonest excuse put forward by Cougar fans. It discredits our opponents (who I should point out have been on the losing end of most games against BYU in both football and basketball over the past two years). In turn, when BYU knocks off a powerhouse team (a la Louisville earlier this season), we don't want to hear that the refs stole the game for BYU.

So I want to send out a warning shot to all the whiners (they know who they are) and prep them for a possible lose. When it happens (and it will happen), we ought to go respectfully into the night, and not screaming and nashing of teeth.

I'll enjoy the game on thursday, but it'll just be another close one throughout that we lose in the final 5 minutes because of A&M's offensive rebounding dominance. Once I saw the 8 seed on the screen...well what expectation does everyone else have? Looks gloomy to me. Next year will be our best team ever imo; I think they'll be special.

As soon as I saw the subject of the post I was sure it was started by wolfie. Shame on you for carrying on as if you were wolfie. Have faith that BYU DOES have a very good team and CAN beat the other team. Posting now that they WILL lose and the cb'ers will come on to complain is something wolfie would do. This thread is akin to starting a post saying that BYU is going to lose to Washington and UCLA next year and you can't wait to see how everyone complains about the Puk-10 refs. Have faith and believe they can because they have the talent to do it.

I think you bring up a legit point. But here is the difference (at least in terms of football and basketball) -- the football team can actually beat BCS teams where as the basketball teams folds under pressure (a la the conference tourny).

I'll go ahead and call it right now that the football team goes 12-0 and gets a BCS invite right now. Of that, I have no doubt.

But excuse me if I think the basketball team will have a nice game, lose in the closing minutes, and be back in class on Friday. There is nothing to support the fact that the Cougs are ready to win a first round game.

I also grow increasingly tired of seeing the whining on this site. Refs don't (normally) lose games for teams ... it is the players and coaches that do. BYU lost against UNLV because they lacked composure, not because of some mystical haze that was cast upon the fellows in zebra clothing.
