    Or, you know, the St. Crispin's Day speech in Henry V...

      BYU is going to absolute beat the shit out of Utah on Saturday. The streak ends, and a new one begins!

      Zach Wilson will not only carve up that overrated, BYU reject filled, Utah Defense. But he will piss on his uncles grave when he is done.

      I can't wait to hang the Pac-12 South Champions banner in LES!

        SMR, just pretend you were mocking LA Ute and you have an easy out for that dumb post.

        Enjoy these classics:

        PURCHASE BAND OF BROTHERS PATCH

        Here's what you can have to sew on your windbreaker or workout shorts:



        This is even better than "stripling warriors," because although it also dares to compare college football players to men who fought, bled and died for freedom, it does so with reference to men who did so only a few years ago.

        That's why it's so funny. Woot pointed it out and LA Ute couldn't believe it:

They're playing a game, for heaven's sake, not fighting for their lives. It's just cheesy.

        (If you think that Bronco, in adopting this campaign, is thinking about Henry V, then you have a high opinion of him indeed. I know that many of those who post here wince when they see Bronco pull stuff like this.)

        And, although I hate to shatter woot's illusions about being the smartest, best-read kid in the room, I can recite the high points of the St. Crispin's Day speech from memory. It was a Neal Maxwell favorite, which I am sure makes it all the more significant to the wootster.

          I agree with you.

              I can't wrap my head around this statement. Some of those who made the ultimate sacrifice are still alive? What's the ultimate sacrifice then?

                I prefer the Institute of Religion that is surrounded by the campus of that holiest of colleges, UNLV.

                  Yes, but who are we to question a WWII buff on an athletic mascot derived from the War of 1812?

                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
