You need to read more carefully.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Postwhy is it ironic?“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

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 PostI think he is referring to Donut's lack of self-awareness.
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 PostI'm not an NBA fan so I thought Donut was being sarcastic because Andre had been the cause of the Lakers winning the series.
