"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
When 801-422-1588 called this morning asking me to contribute to the Annual Fund, I explained to the very polite young man that I would not give any money directly to the BYU until the Honor Code was revised so that the treatment that Davies received (namely the press conference and later very public shaming in the press) cannot happen again. He said he understood and asked if I wanted to be removed from all alumni communication. I told him no, that I didn't hate BYU, I still supported the teams, the faculty, etc, but that the only weapon I have in hoping the trustees change the HC was to withhold donations and explain the reason for doing so.
I know my few dollars matter nothing, but it's what I can do.

They can leave BYU, but they can't leave BYU alone.
Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I support this. I will pledge 2 calls per week if someone else will. Now that I have graduated, I would love to mess with them if it had the smallest chance in the world of getting things to change. I know this is kind of a joke, but many a truth...
