It would be super crazy to see 2-3 guys from CS picked.

If you're one of the 2-3, I'll sustain you, and not with my right hand.

If they call three BYU sports fans to the quorum next month, it could really swing things. What is it now? I admit I don't keep up on this as much as I should.

Monson: Utah?
Eyring: Utah?
Uchtdorf: Bayern Munich
Nelson: Utah?
Oaks: BYU
Ballard: N/A
Hales: ???
Holland: BYU
Bednar: BYU
Cook: Aggies?
Christofferson: BYU?
Andersen: BYU?

OK, that's a lot of question marks, but by my count I have BYU up, 5 to 3. Make two or three of these newly called apostles BYU fans, and we could turn this into a rout.

Don't for a moment think that Bednar is a BYU guy. He is an SC fan and has no love for BYU sports, probably wouldn't mind at all if the BYU sports program went the way of Ricks College.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Not me. He was all hat and no cattle. California prep trying to act like an Idaho redneck. Was kind of embarrassing for all of us.

I blame mean-spirited posts like this for ruining his esprit de corps. I hope you are happy, young man.

I remember seeing President Nelson at BYU basketball games in president's row cheering on the team more enthusiastically than Bateman or Samuelson. Don't know how he comes out when BYU plays his alma mater.

I saw Bednar at the BYU/UCLA game in the Vegas Bowl. He and other GA's got the good seats. As it should be.

Just think of the strings One Mormon Place could pull to make the UofU dance! Basically force them to throw games, make their one or two decent players transfer to the Y, maybe even get rid of the ugly eyesore on the mountain above their campus.

I don't know about Nelson - but his SiL and at least one grandson are big U fans. Season tickets, PAC12 stickers on vehicles, and sad discussions of BYU getting all the pub to start the season, etc. These guys are all in.

I'm pretty sure some of his family lean toward BYU.

Also, he works for a BYU fan, so there's that.

I learned in church today

Speaking as one who loves kids, and who firmly believes the church is most true in primary and nursery, man, the primary program is obnoxious.

thank you. You are 100% correct as always, which probably gets tiresome for you to hear. I know it does for me.

Pri program means not watching my kids during sacrament meeting. Best Sunday of the year.

Same! Do you remember earlier today when you and I exchanged text messages? That was during the PriPro. I didn't have an example for any of my kids.

So, it wasn't technically during church, but I learned that wards usually schedule these Primary Programs for the last Sunday of a quarter in order to boost Sacrament Mtg attendance & get a bigger budget when numbers are tallied for appropriations.

being ignorant of how this works, I ask those who know - is this somehow true? Seems like it shouldn't matter which Sunday the chapel is packed. I heard this from 2 different people.
