BYU was very chippy , late hitting when we played them. Some were actually saying that they play dirty. I thought so. Sad for a religious school.

Is that because of the way mendenhall coaches? Glad we didn't have to spend a week with that team.

BYU has had that rep for a long time, not specific to mendenhall. Not quite blatant dirty, unless you're talking to Utah or Utah State people, but definitely head up, guard up, watch yourself kind of football.

They just play a style of football, that is very much old school violence, that as an independent, they've never been reigned in with competition rules in any conference, and they don't play the big name programs like a Notre Dame does annually, where they are going to be called out on it. The closest it came, recently was when a BYU defense player gave an opposing QB a head shot in a bowl game - I think it was last season or the year before - but it blew over. Same thing wouldn't happen if it was a Notre Dame player hitting Jameis Winston.

The same kinds of things can be said about Army and Navy football. you better watch your legs when you're playing the academies, because they're coming for them on offense and defense. I'ts not dirty football, but it's dangerous football, and players get hurt. As independants, they don't have conference rules committee's to deal with.
 
"Congrats to Memphis, I don't remember if we have them on the schedule next season, but if we do, I hope we kick the crap out of them, to the point they are so frustrated they choose to throw fists and break their own hands. Hope is a good thing, it's all we got."

no such luck, Memphis will play:

Ole Miss
Missouri State
@Kansas
@BGSU
Cincy
Navy
SMU
Tulane
@Tulsa
@USF
@Houston
@Temple

I cannot ever imagine chest thumping over a share of an AAC title or a Miami Beach Bowl win. Add in the embarrassing fight and it's just impossible to understand this guy's mindset.

Tought words from a fan of the worst team in the league.

When we win the AAC, I'll be thrilled.

There is a distinct difference between being happy about winning the league and going over to some other team's board to thump your chest after the team embarrassed your school. I know that you enjoy going to other team's boards but I'm not that lonely.

That's the kind of unsportsmanlike attitude that helped keep us out of the ACC . .

Swofford: "Next up for discussion: UConn. World class university. Large tv market. National championships over the past decade in at least 4 different sports. Large athletic department revenue and multiple revenue streams, such as IMG and Nike. We're going to pass on them, fellas."

Swofford's Assistant: "Well, why are we going to pass on them, John?"

Swofford: "It's just...I really don't like the way they shake hands after the game, you know what I mean?"

:rolleyes:
 
How does a thread on a Memphis-BYU bowl game have this many posts on a UCONN board?
 
YOU DON'T GO ONTO THE FORMER SITE OF THE OB AND GO AT THE TIGERS LIKE THAT! NOT AT THE FORMER OB!

My memory may not be entirely clear; but, I seem to recall the game UConn played at army (and won) in the early 200's when an Army player swung way around the pack on a kick-off and blew-up UConn's kicker behind after the play was over while the kicker was jogging to the sidelines. No penalty though as no one saw it except for the folks in the end zone where I was sitting.

I completely remember that play at West Point. I watched the Army kid line up our kicker and drill him blindside style. No flag but that play definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
 
^ that's not even our best work...92 against Ark St...now THAT was a fight.

Amazing the stand that some are taking here.

I think that very few things scream "STUPID" about any individual football player, more than starting to throw fists at another player wearing all that gear, but it is what it is.

I'd be more than happy, to have a 10-3 record, a bowl game win played in Miami Beach, and bunch of idiot players to sort out as to who the dumbest of the dumb are choosing to throw fists at another player wearing all that gear. More likely to break your own hand, than inflict anything to anyone else.

Congrats to Memphis, I don't remember if we have them on the schedule next season, but if we do, I hope we kick the crap out of them, to the point they are so frustrated they choose to throw fists and break their own hands. Hope is a good thing, it's all we got.

You don't want to play us next year lol

#12 got bloodied by a Memphis player reacting to him jumping into a crowd and throwing more punches. #12 of BYU is a complete jackass and needs to get kicked off the team. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/g60diy9js6r7my6/rekt.mp4?dl=0)

After watching a crazy ton of videos of the brawl, I've come to the conclusion it is almost purely BYU's fault. I don't understand why BYU had to approach Memphis players and pick a fight. The first video I saw was a BYU player push a helmetless Memphis player. Seriously, WTF?!

All that I have read is that these players on BYU quit on the coach, but it also appears that they quit on their school. Even though there are inexcusable actions by Memphis players, this is almost purely on BYU. If you wanna call Memphis scum...whatever. I don't care what you think.

Congrats to Memphis on their first 10 win season since 1938.

It's very clear that you DO care what I (and others) think. If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't have told everyone.
