He even spoke to the tribal elders who blessed the plan for a new castle, and building began. One problem, King saw that the once mighty Cougars had turned into tiny kittens. King was angry and took his pot o' gold and was never heard from again. Bateman was sad. He knew the tribal elders did not wish to use their pot o' gold to build the castle, but the castle was already half-built. The tribal elders became angry and shit hit the fan!...Val Hale was beheaded...Bateman was banished to lord over a lesser part of the kingdom...and the Cougars came under the power of a hated one from the north country.
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Originally posted by falafel View PostWell it certainly provides something close to details, which was what I was asking for earlier in this thread. Much better than penning a bad fantasy novel and including Bateman as the demonic king.
Much better than real life where Master Bateman was the worst byu president that I can remember.

I'm not buying all the bad stuff about Bateman but he was definitely a mediocre pres and bad for BYU athletics. He also introduced tan into the BYU color scheme which is an abomination that took a decade to completely expunge. Also, they say never follow a legend and Rex Lee was the rill dill.

Originally posted by Topper View PostBateman failed at everything for the Cougs.
He axed the wrestling and men's gymnastics teams which were both top five programs.
He failed to get the expansions necessary and promised the other Olympic sports a lot of things but never delivered.
He was a mini-Ernie Wilkerson and treated many a professor like shit, handing down edicts like a demonic king, acting against academic freedom and ruling like an autocratic tyrant. Other than that he was wonderful. Also he started or re-started the reign of GAs as President.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Originally posted by Topper View PostHe must have suffered from a mini-Ernie Wilkerson or is it Wilkinson complex, thinking their people seeking to undermine the Church in every corner of the university. He was the worst BYU president in modern times, followed by Samuelson.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

And yes it's Wilkinson, not Wilkerson.
Your snarky comment is much appreciated."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
