Of course it takes a Utah fan to see it: BYU fan chides Utah fans for their perceived inability to go to great lengths to hype the performance of a Ute graduate in the NBA. I think Donuthole was self-aware and was actually speaking ironically - he's clever enough to have done that.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post
It just takes all the zip out of the irony when you have to explain it.

I'm not an NBA fan so I thought Donut was being sarcastic because Andre had been the cause of the Lakers winning the series. The irony was that Andre was in a position to be a goat but Jimmer never will be. I didn't know Andre was actually a hero. So, I don't get the irony either.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostOf course it takes a Utah fan to see it: BYU fan chides Utah fans for their perceived inability to go to great lengths to hype the performance of a Ute graduate in the NBA.

This is a board that has a thread entitled "The Official Jimmerphilia Thread." 3,240 posts at the moment. DH was pointing out that Ute fans aren't good enough at hyping their former players who are now in the NBA, so BYU fans had to help us out. I thought it was a funny comment. I'd tell you to get off my lawn now but you're up on the front porch with me, so I can't.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostLast edited by LA Ute; 05-09-2012, 01:29 PM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

So, it turns out that LA Ute doesn't know the meaning of the word, "ironic." That is really all I am getting out of this.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
