Those of us who endured BYU's 1-25 season in 1996-97 deserve to revel in today's Top 10 hoops team

I began as a BYU student in 1996 only to endure an abysmal 1-25 season from the men's basketball team. My, how times have changed!

Sometimes in order to truly appreciate the good times, we have to remember the bad times.

As a lifelong BYU fan who began as a student in Provo in 1996, I've lived through the best of times and the worst of times with my beloved Cougars. My first year as a student in 1996-97 was among the worst of times as BYU basketball went 1-25, a season full of a shocking amount of losses that most of us have erased from our memories.
