He called me when he got home and said he could not in good conscience give a talk at a fireside that evening without apologizing. So he posted again without his number. I don't think he was worried about his image as much as he was worried about being hypocritical to kids. Morgan was about as humble of a kid as I've ever met. He comes from a very good family and I think he really regretted bringing bad press to them, the U, and the Church. As mild as that bad press was. Again, it's been 5 years so I could be remembering incorrectly some of the details.
    Morgan reiterated this story on Kall700 tonight.

        That's cool then. I knew his older brother much better but I have nothing bad to say about any of them. I can actually say that about all the Ute players I've known personally.

        Still, I don’t like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything. I think the whole university, their fans and their organization, is classless.

                        I'm pretty sure ER Cougar doesn't want to go to your stupid house with all your dead deer (spikes, lol!) adorning the walls.

                            He was a little more verbose, but you captured the essense of it. He went into why he apologized even when others were saying that he didn't need to. His comment was that he needed to apologize for his own good in that even if it hadn't been recorded and broadcast, he still knew later that he was in the wrong and did not like the taste it left in his mouth. It was quite humbling to me to listen to him talk. You could still hear that it bothered him at little even now.

                                            Just to reiterate, I find his motives admirable and he sound like a nice guy. I just found some humor in the fact that he used CB as a venue to issue an apology. The fact that he included his phone number is further evidence that he must have been completely naive about internet message boards.

                                            Bless his Ute heart.
