That and wanting to win by nine rather than two.

Honestly, taking that statement all alone by itself, who WOULDN'T rather win by 9 than just by 2?

Answer: Nobody

Heck at the half in our bowl game I was worried that our OC would rather win by 3 than by 10. Kinda goes both ways when you think about it... :S

Las Vegas bookies might have been interested in winning by 9 or 2...depending on where the line was.

If we were 11-2 and fresh off a bowl victory I would bet that the rape scandel would have NOT lost Gary his job. It was the combination of bad PR and Losses.

That scandal lost more than GC his job. Both the ad for the women and the men lost their jobs. I never really liked the ad for the men. I knew him personally and was not too thrilled, especially when he first hired Crowton. Even when GC won if you will recall, in the doman staley days, we didn't win by nearly as many as we should have some times. I just thot GC was not a good coach, and the ad was in the same boat. I have no idea why the women's ad was replaced.

If you're the OC for the national champs you are a good coach. Period.

Les Miles is a good head coach. Crowton is a terrible head coach.


As far as lines, think back to the last BYU @ UNLV game and how it ended...
