and this being a Cougar site with Utes on it, I note the phrase ALUF (active LDS Ute Fan) being used.
I think it is a good idea as football season draws nigh to note the difference between the Active LDS Ute fan and the "Active LDS Ute fan."
The Active LDS Ute fan is not a problem for me, nor do he or she bother me in any way whatsoever. They are what the phrase says, they are active LDS and Ute fans. I personally see no contradiction there.
On the other hand, the "Active LDS Ute fan" is actually a bum buddy of the BYU "mullah" although neither will admit it.
When BYU has an honor code problem, you can hear the "ALUF" making statement such as, "as an active LDS person, I think.........." and then they go on to tell what should be happening at BYU because they are active LDS. Man you are a Ute fan. Who gives a crap what you think should be happening at BYU. I couldn't care less that as "an active LDS Ute fan" you are embarassed for the church. You can openly cheer and scream for a team that allows Sunday play, that allows players to have premarital sex, that allows players to drink over a school that doesn't and yet you are going to preach about how things should be done at your rival. That is hypocricy.
I would just ask that knowing the difference, when referring to the active LDS Ute fan you don't mix them up with the "active LDS Ute fan."
