Post by Madmartigan » August 21st, 2023, 12:09 pm

With NIL and transfers many have commented a change in interest in our squad and CFB in general. Where do you stand?

I'm about the same, but mine has been rather low for some time.

Less than usual.

I'm excited to see what an offense ran by BA looks like. Hoping it is more dynamic than the O's when MW was HC and playcalling.

A little nervous to see how this defense performs. Joe Cauthen's resume as a DC is pretty sporadic.

Less than usual. Combination of the NIL, state of college athletics and low expectations for the team this year.

My excitement is up this year mainly due to all the conference shuffling going on right as fall camps are going.

I’m way excited. I know we’ve lost some players to NIL, but I’m curious how our transfers and new coaches are going to work out.

I think the pendulum is going to swing back on the NIL stuff. I still haven’t made up my mind on it. I hesitate to call it a travesty because it’s so new. Although currently it doesn’t look great for G5 schools.

I'm excited to watch us in a conference that makes sense. Rivalry, history, regionally, makes sense.

Fearful for the future.

Excitement level near zero.

Was excited last year because we were coming off a huge bowl win and MWC champs.

I learned my lesson after losing to Weber.

Add in NIL, off-field issues, coaches statements about fans, transfers en masse including defections to the boogers, and you get a mega “meh” from me until proven otherwise.

After seeing the athleticism in the practices I am up over last year a fair amount. I thought we would get 6 wins last year but I think we are at least 8. If they come together they have a much higher ceiling. Really happy with what Coach A has pulled together!

I'm cautiously optimistic. 6 wins is my expectation, but I wouldn't be surprised with only 5.

The floor should be 8 wins? Seems really steep for a floor when we’ve only done it maybe 5-6 times since the 70’s.

I am less excited than usual. Player turnover has left me more unfamiliar with the roster than I have been in a long time. There is also the feeling that any breakout player this year will be gone next year to an NIL deal somewhere. I am sure my excitement will increase as we get into next week but I miss that our program was about building a roster and developing guys over time and becoming familiar with them and now it is basically musical chairs for transfers that we hope will work here.

Since 2012 (the first full season after the program turning game in Hawaii), if you throw out the 2020 shortened Covid season, we have averaged 8 wins (80 wins over 10 seasons). This is not the program of 20, 30, or 40 years ago.

So 50% of the seasons are below the floor?

I would usually expect the minimum and average to be different. But maybe they teach Statistics different these days with common core and all.

Forget the stats man! We need to be winning 8 games a year minimum. That’s the key to building a great program.

This is exactly where I am. I’m less excited because there is no continuity with the roster. And anybody any good will be recruited to byu in the off season.


I renewed my tickets………but just barely.

That is fine. It just saying justifying a floor of 8 wins by pointing out our average has been 8 wins is slightly odd.

But I agree we should be targeting at least 8 wins. For the last decade I viewed the floor as 6 wins or the season was not successful. I am all for raising that bar.

Yep, that's what I'm sayin'. We missed the floor in 50% of those years. Our average over the past 10-ish years needs to become the expected floor to be a consistent program of success.

I know, it seems like a lot after decades of 1-5 wins but if we're bowl eligible (which we have been 9 out of the last 11 years) that means we're sitting at a minimum of 6 and a bowl win puts you at 7 so is 8 all that demanding?

USU win totals back to 2012:

2022: 6
2021: 11
2020: *1
2019: 7
2018: 11
2017: 6
2016: 3
2015: 6
2014: 10
2013: 9
2012: 11

Fewer than 6 wins precisely twice in 11 years, and one of them the 2020 vidbortion season. Where's the evidence justifying calling 2023 a sub 6 win season?

I think USU has been better at promoting excitement in the past. These coaches and AD staff only care about the football.
If they aren't going to put in any effort to sell the team, they better be incredible on the field or they'll be playing to empty seats.

Yes it is that demanding. To increase your wins from 6-8 is a massive improvement and not one that is going to happen often. 8 wins is a special season. 6 is a good season.

6 wins should be our floor IMO but 6 wins this year would be an unbelievable achievement for us.

Hope I’m looking really wrong come November :) go Aggies !

Bowl eligible every year. Minimum of six wins. That should always be the absolute floor for this program. For me, I just have a general lack of excitement for a system that ultimately will reject teams like USU. The deck is stacked against our school and our team. We will lose our best players now. We will lose recruiting battles due to money. TV deals will never provide the needed windfall of money for our program. Ultimately, college sports are dying for this fan.

I will still be watching our team every week. I'm going to enjoy the good that I have left. Some of the stuff from last year like the Weber game, and Blake Anderson hating on fans have faded. I flushed that last season.

I had super high hopes last year coming off of the championship season. Last year was a hard team to watch and root for. I get a different vibe about this years team. I am slowly becoming excited about the season.

My level of excitement is pretty low. It can be fixed by 2 things we didn't get last year:
1) At least try against Iowa
2) At least try against FCS Idaho State

2a) IF… They happen to lose to Idaho State, then show some humility instead of running to Twitter to bicker with fans after getting your (I can't express myself without swearing) kicked.

They should have enough humility after losing to Weber to work harder and NOT allow a loss to Idaho State to happen. If practice on Monday before Idaho State goes anything similar to how practice went before Weber, then the coaches need to let out tons of F bombs at the kids about how poorly they are practicing, even if drives people to want to wash the coaches mouths out with soap. And let second teamers and even walk-ons try to prove they can practice better. Instead of letting practice go the way it did Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of that week and whine to Scott G about it.

We would have guys posting us telling us about how their friends on the team hated Wells. But maybe it was cause when practice on Mondays went the way it did on Monday of Weber week last year, Wells would chew them out and NOT allow practices the rest of the week to go the way they did Weber week of last year.

The university cops might want to refresh themselves on what the statute says about assaulting someone with soap!

I am waiting to see how we look against Iowa before I decide how I excited I am for the season.

I am still very invested emotionally and financially with Utah State athletics but my excitement level for this particular team is low because I believe we’re going to suck and suck bad. I’ll still watch every game and cheer like hell but I’m not excited to get our asses kicked. 🤷‍♂️

My excitement is slowly growing. A month ago it was reeeeally low, but watching a scrimmage and hearing positive things coming out of camp has helped. I'd say it's still lower than it typically is heading into a season, but I could very easily be swayed if we look like we have a pulse vs Iowa.

I’m hoping so bad that I look like an absolute moron at seasons end because we’re awesome haha I’d love nothing more. And yes having a pulse vs Iowa would be a huge step toward having some confidence.

I have mixed feelings. NIL has nothing to do with my excitement level. I get excited when we are winning, or at least going out onto the e field and competing. I do not get excited about coaches and players that don’t care about winning, and are constantly making excuses for their losses. I’m excited when we play our hearts out. Win or lose, that kind of game gets me excited. I do not get excited when we have multiple personal fouls. That is not exciting.

I am excited to watch a few players every year, but it’s about the name on the front of the jersey, not the back that I care about. I wish players luck, I want them to succeed, but I want the AGGIES to succeed more. Play the best players not your favorite players. That is what brings excitement.
