2005 was a very disappointing season and IMO, was no better than 2004. Thank heaven that 2006 and 2007 have been serious improvements.

Most of the people I talk to that have kicked in $10,000 are not happy about the schedule talk.
However, those people aren't the really important people. The really important people are those that kick in a million and kick in $25,000 a year. I don't know how they feel. I just can't believe they are happy though. At a Legacy luncheon, I got the distinct idea Bronco realizes he doesn't see eye to eye with big buck donors all the time. He even mentioned putting character and integrity first wasn't an overall popular idea with the group he was talking too. He placated them though with noting, integrity without winning has no credibility. If they play crap schedules and the Legacy donors and above get upset, something will happen. Contrary to popular opinion, BYU doesn't give a crap about people watching from Indiana and posting on sports boards. |

That said, Val Hale and Peter Pilling had me do some research for them on whether it was RPI-advantageous for them to schedule D-II teams instead teams that had an RPI of around 200. Last edited by Indy Coug; 12-04-2007 at 04:23 PM. |

Like Pavlov's dog, Indy hates being accused of being a Crowton cronie or a Crowton apologist.
Right on cue.

So you like being accused of being a Crowton apologist?
