I think he actually weighs 245.

You obviously know nothing about the talent level across all of D-I.

I know that I-AA players are players that I-A teams didn't offer scholarships to. Try arguing that

Re: Official UNI-BYU prediction thread.

Good hell. I don't know why I even deal with simpletons such as fans of a I-AA program. Occasionally, there are diamonds in the rough that superior I-A programs won't offer scholarships to. This happens. However, this is a very big exception....and not the rule. You recruit lesser athletes and as a result you occupy a lower division of football.

I like Kurt Warner....but the guy is a far cry from Steve Young. Young has nearly 10,000 career yards more passing than Warner. Warner has almost as many picks (100 vs 107) despite Young throwing 12,000 more passes. Think about that. Warner would have to throw nearly 12,000 consecutive passes without a pick to match Steve Young. Not only does Young have many more passing yards and much better TD to int ratio....but he has a higher career pass effiency rating. Steve also has over 4,000 more career rushing yards. Young made into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Warner will be a borderline HOF player...if it all. Maybe he'll get in on the 4th or 5th try because guys start to feel sorry for him. No contest.

I'll also list BYU players off the top of my head that won Super Bowls and/or played in Pro Bowls:

Jason Buck, starting DE for the 1992 Super Bowl champion Redskins.
Todd Christensen, starting TE for the 1981 Super Champion Raiders.
Travis Hall, regular in rotation for 1999 Super Bowl champion Broncos.
Chris Hoke, DT on the 2006 Super Bowl champion Steelers.
Lee Johnson, No. 1 punter for the 1989 Super Bowl champion 49ers.
Chad Lewis, 3 time Pro-Bowl selection and starting TE for the 1999 Super Bowl champion Rams.
Jim McMahon, Pro Bowler and starting QB on the 1985 Super Bowl champion Bears.
Rob Morris, starting LB and leading tackler on 2007 Super Bowl champion Colts.
Vai Sikahema, 2 time Pro Bowler as kick returner with the Eagles.
John Tait, starting offensive lineman for the 2007 NFC champion Bears.
Then of course you have guys like Steve Young. Multiple league MVPs. Super Bowl MVP. Multiple time Super Bowl champion.

This is the very short list I was able to make off the top of my head. I'm sure other BYU board members could add to it.

I'm denigrating you guys and your status in I-AA. You've produced a handful of ok players than went on to the next level. However, get a grip. You are I-AA. There is a reason you are in a lower division. Players only go to Northern Iowa if all I-A schools turn them down.

48-6 on Saturday.

Arguing

Hey...you are the one that asked. We answered. Thanks for beating your chest about all the great players from BYU. We could care less how many former players at your school that played in the Super Bowl or the Pro Bowl.

UNI and BYU are going to win alot of games this year, next year, and many years after that. And just as sure as that, you will still be stupid...

I was ready to drop some "James Jones never missed a game in his ten year NFL career & was part of the 1994 wild card Browns & the 1999 wildcard Lions!!"...

Don't take xx97's bait. Go to the MWC conference message board and see how highly regarded he is, even by BYU fans.

That's BS. I'd go to a top level FCS, get early playing time and showcase my skills before rolling into a bottom dweller in the MWC, WAC, MAC, CUSA or SunBelt.

It's too fun to take the bait though Dingo. He just keeps digging his grave. Loving Utah so far!

Suit yourself, just don't generalize about the rest of us.

Glad you're enjoying your stay. What are you planning to do all day Friday?

I don't really need to say much. Your post says it all. LOL.

Oh, and the guy who was the biggest part of making Steve Young so good:




Both former I-AA players.

You're not good at this.

Where have you spent time here in Utah so far? It would be a pleasure to meet you at the game; look for me; I'll be the one with the blue shirt.

Did you get your seats in the UNI section?

[KBCoug]

Re: Official UNI-BYU prediction thread.

Yeah, I was put on someone's ignore list awhile back because I was anti-obama and he sent me a long message condemning me for it...pretty funny stuff.

Rob, I thought you were educated, then I saw you thought BYU had an educated fan base...lol

Well we might not agree on who to cheer for on Saturdays but we can certainly agree on Obama. While Nancy Pelosi thinks he's God's gift to the world I think that if he's a gift it's more of a "gag gift".

At least I hope one of your teams wins on Saturday and I'll unite my psyche with yours in cheering for the Wolverines against the yewts.

Go downtown. Temple Square, etc. Just hang around.
