    So is BYU just a school full of

    Pretentious douche bags or are the students down to earth and humble. I have many friends who are salt of the earth folks who attended BYU so I would answer the latter.

    However some of you assholes challenge my assessment.

    This thread is not a good idea, either.

    Exercise your powers of moderation and rise above at the same time.

    This place is out of control lately. Is anyone not a moran around here?

    I invite everyone that is tired of the recent BS to come over to the "We Are Out" thread. No conference expansion, no academic rankings, just chatting about our day.
    Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

      Agreed and I'm kind of enjoying it. This place has been more entertaining the last week or so than at any other point since I've been a member of the board.
      So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

        LOL. I would like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to my Ute brethren for my pretentious douchebaggery.

        The esteemed SU and I agree. The U. is Matt Hasselbeck, all right? Not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.

        I'm pretty sure at least one of my kids will be a Ute someday and I will be happy about it and glad he will be at a PAC-12 (or 16?) school.

          This is another thing. The Moran Eye Center at the U is a wonderful eye care center. I take a bit of offense every time you call somebody a 'moran'.

              Wow!

              I couldn't possibly agree more with every word here... but still... Wow, coming from Jarid.

                One would think a mod would try to temper the animosity, not fuel it.

                  I like to think everyone's chosen a role to play and is gunning for an Oscar.

                    Wow indeed. It appears you have no concept of irony.

                      At this point it's clear that humor and good will have largely gone by the wayside, which is why it may not be a bad idea to take a little extra care in posting.

                        I get it. I know I'm an asshole, never claimed to be anything else, certainly not holier than thou.

                        Jarid is a better guy than me.

                          Pretentiousness is far from BYU. Douchebaggery is unintentional, but ever present.
