What does a discouraged and saddened Cougar fan do after a game like today's? Very few of us drown our sorrows in, um, beer and stuff like that. If we did, the bar(s?) of Utah County would be swarmed with long faces tonight. Instead, we prepare our lessons and talks and get ready for Sunday.
This was one Saturday that was not very special.
What was the worst part? Of the game? That is was on stupid VERSUS? The last three losses BYU has suffered have all been on that network. Last year, Florida State and TCU were the only two games BYU played on the network-that-shall-no-longer-be-given-the-satisfaction-of-being-named. Now this year? I will be honest, I had legitimate worries about this game primarily because it was going to be on the n-t-s-n-l-b-g-t-s-o-b-n. Is this irrational? Of course, but that's what fans do, we base things on completely irrational premises. At least I do. I'm not ashamed of being superstitious.
Turn overs? J.J.'s fumble, then Jake's interception and Riley's fumble? Miserable punting into the wind? Why not just go for in on fourth when the last time you punted it went ONE YARD?? I'm not one to believe in something so superstitious and silly like Karma, but was this an answer for last year's Vegas Bowl and the jokes that went for punts from Oregon State?
So what happens next week? Just Jake not play at all? Is one interception and a horrible loss enough to shake up this two-quarterback thing?
I can't breathe. I've got to go, um, something.
