Thank you Max Hall

For Ute fans, here is a model of how to effectively use allusions to Max's hate speech in your posts. Note you don't need to be explicit in your allusion; just say BYU fans hate and they will instantly get it. Kind of like saying something like charity beats all.

Or we could just move on instead of continuing to beat a dead horse.

Sure, but I don't see how that is helpful to your arsenal. As some roundabout dig at the mission of BYU? Not gonna work in football because, much like baseball, there's no crying in football.

It's impossible to be objective about something you hate. It's that simple. Like in court you might start out the cross of a hostile witness (if you can) by saying, "Now, you hate Mr. Jones, and always have. Isn't that right?"

I don't think you get it.

LDS Ute fans are uncomfortable with BYU fans hating them for being utes. Maybe they should be.

I thought that asking "Isn't that right" would be ineffective. They could answer Yes or No and you still are not exactly sure what they are saying.

Yes, it is NOT right, or Yes, it is right, for example.

It seems more appropriate to ask "Is that right?"

LOOK, your shtick doesn't work with me. You should know that by now. I don't play your games.

I will say this, Mr. Tax Lawyer: you wouldn't ask the question unless you had a document in hand with him saying it that you could shove under his nose if there were any ambiguity in his answer.

Actually, I find it positively underwhelming.

SU I agree with you 100%!

Has anyone asked how Max Hall feels about Rod Smart?

Edit: Crap I hate when I don't read the whole thread, and I end up hacking the king of hacks.

Ahhh, crap.

As I survey the tool chest you wheel out in sports-related debates, I have to agree that Max Hall's quote is one of your most powerful implements.

Nicely done. If there is a CUFfie for "Best Backhanded Compliment", I would like to nominate this one. I do wish it would have included a barb about how it took 15 days for SU to make his "discovery", however.

[Blueintheface]

I now realize that Max Hall has given me a powerful debating tool. I can chalk so much to BYU fans' hate--it's an effective attack on credbility, as in, "you're just saying this because of your hate." In the past that would have sounded childish and petty. Now it has a ring of truth, it resounds. Thanks Max!

Whatever deflects from the on-the-field result. Oh I know, SU, 2 BCS games, 55-34-4, etc, etc, etc.... guess what? SCOREBOARD is all that is currently relevant and it kills you that all you have is a false parachute in Max Hall to stop your decent into Hell. It never gets old that haters in true denial continue to use Max weeks after the game to help themselves cope.
