Ours are 1000x better. Yada Yada Yada, has he stopped screaming yet? Let the actions sell the story.

Did like the cougar walk. Maybe that's a way to get the people out of the lots and into the stadium area earlier? Then have things for them to do, chants, songs, pump-up videos once everyone is in stadium-15-30 min before game time? Make that time an event, see if it doesn't start to draw people in, get the concessions rolling, energy pumping....

Yeah East I agree, our pump up videos are better. Can't wait until ours comes out.

But I'll admit, it looks like BYU has a very solid fan base and will present a hostile environment when our Rockets travel there.

We do all that. But with less yelling.

Sounds like the White Sox announcers... Cool Video. Kind of long for my taste.

Orlando Sentinel has them ranked 69th, with 6 MAC teams to be named. Their schedule will make it awfully tough to stay healthy to stop our fast paced offense. When you play MSU, UCLA, Zona, WVU etc, you can field a more than bowl worthy team at .500. (about where I see BYU finishing.)

Athlon has BYU ranked #46. Lindy's#41. BYU has a very good Backfield. I think the Sentinel has BYU greatly underrated.

Oh they're always good. But if we are equal in talent, our bye and weaker schedule will give us an edge. They'll roll with our punches tho... Considering we're like the 8th best team on their schedule.

That coach should team up with Mr. RTB and start a consulting firm for football coaches that provides pregame speeches filled with cliché's and yelling. If I was on a team and a coach came out with a speech that started with a story, morphed to a paragraph, then a sentence and ends with exclamation points - I wouldn't be psyched up, I'd be laughing my ass off and wondering why his missed words before he got to punctuation...

As the all time worst speech, I still favor the "men, we have a date with destiny...we are gonna get on our high horses and walk the streets of Sparta..." It doesn't get any worse than that - or I would hope not. Surprised he didn't work the Gipper in there somehow. I guess that's being saved for a bigger game.

Watched this awhile back. Thought it was pretty neat to see. Real life Rudy with the movie as the background.

That's incredible! We're in some good company and ranked ahead of some really good teams.

That's last seasons final cbs poll. Has every teams 2015 record next to their name. Most poll's this year have Michigan in the top 5. Toledo will never be ranked in a pre season poll.

Good year for the MAC tho minus a terrible title game.
25 Toledo
27 Temple
36 BG
38 Arkansas
55 WMU
59 NIU
64 Ohio
65 Akron
68 CMU
90 UB
92 Iowa State

The April 5, 2016 update is confusing but you are right, it looks like last year's rankings.
