There are fish that need to be caught, golf balls that need to be struck, waves to be ridden, and bbqs to be had. I just don't know how people have the time or energy to be angry, what a drain.
    Because to some their favorite part of belonging to the Mormon Church was it's belief that it is the one true religion. When that narrative got destroyed in their mind it never changed their degenerative personality trait of having to be right.

    I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

      Right, there isn't anything else in play but a degenerative personality trait.

        Here is my point: This thread, more than any other public thread, should be devoted to BYU and the BIG 12. If little Byron wants to whine until he wears out his whiner thts fine with me; and if he wants to tell us all about the evils of the LDS church good on him, and he has many threads on this board where he can do that. But, he should get that crap out of this thread. And, frankly, so should we.
        PLesa excuse the tpyos.

          Houston, we a problem... The Big 12 better take this in consideration:

          Houston Voters Reject Measure Barring LGBT Discrimination

          Houston voters struck down a non-discrimination ballot measure Tuesday, delivering a blow to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights movement that had campaigned heavily for passage.


          Prop. 1, known as Houston’s Equal Rights Ordinance, would have barred discrimination on the basis of race, age, military status, disability and 11 other categories in a variety of areas. (Religious organizations and institutions would be exempt from the requirements.)
          [...]

          Or maybe LGBT discrimination is a non-issue for the Big 12?

              Keep digging. Find me one national article that says BYU is out based on any of those factors. You missed the article yesterday about ESPN about to unleash a direct streaming option. this is where fanbase makes a huge difference and where sports coverage moves into the 21st century. The days of sports rights being subsidized by non-sports fans who have sports channels on their system they never watch are dying quickly. BYU is in much better shape here than even most P5 schools.

              You're admittedly not even that much of a sports fan, yet you know more than a national sportswriter about things like this. Yeah, right. I've never fully understood the psyche of "fans" like you who clearly care a lot more about the rival school than the one they supposedly like. Anyway, the signs are out that you're about to get some bad news. When it comes out I hope it doesn't ruin your day too much. By the way, how are the utes looking this year? I haven't been paying much attention. Never mind, you're probably not the one to ask. ;-)
              I am a sports fan, demonstrably. Sports writers are mostly stupid, failed jocks; there are also a disproportionate number of BYU alumni and LDS among them. This article is Exhibit A. Focusing on facts that are irrelevant except in his fantasy world.

                  wow. You're like Donald Trump: I'm the best sports fan in the world, believe me.

                        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              So they aren't gay anymore? Sounds like they should love BYU.

                                I thought that therapy didn't work.
                                One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
