  • I have to say one thing about SU, he's probably going to single-handedly ensure this becomes the biggest thread on the board.

        Bless you for having the fortitude to enter the proper search terms into Google to get that picture that probably also yielded a blizzard of material you cannot unsee.

          While I think the athletic program is very important to BYU, I am probably in the minority when it comes to church membership. No tears would be shed by the "ALUF" types if the programs were terminated.

          It would be nice if someone could quantify the positives that come from athletics. I imagine the church would have to pour more money into BYUtv if athletics were no longer available. No concession stands for local wards or stakes to do fund raisers. No more sweet changes to facilities that the rest of the University can use rent free. I also imagine donations to the general fund would go down.

          Money vs principal. I think if it came to that the church would choose what they perceive as principal.
          I can't decide whether to laugh or cry at this post. I think I will laugh.

            Another post mocked by the brilliant JL. Would you consider reviewing my posts ahead of time so I don't have to be totally embarassed by your clever comebacks?

              To be fair, it's a pretty ridiculous post.

                Read it with a hip hop beat in mind. It's gets better.

                    Something about picturing SU with a pair of big pair of Skullcandy headphones on bumping a Chance the Rapper or Future beat as he reads 71's post will make me happy for the rest of my life.

                        Yea, when I was done I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I hit the reply button anyway.

                        Sometimes when you don't know whether to laugh or cry, it is probably better to just STFU. I will try and remember that.

                          • Football only for now with a scheduling agreement in basketball would be cool. Full membership would be better, but I'll take the former.

                              These types of rumors have been going for so many weeks now that it is impossible to take any of them seriously.
