    I actually stopped by the fanzz store at 106 on my way home. Another ute stronghold.

    Might head over to university mall after dinner though. Stay tuned!

      Sounds like they overbought and are dumping the stuff:

      Ute apparel deeply discounted at TJ Maxx
      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      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."

        I think they would try, but it would be hard to find a leg to stand on if they don't block A&M from leaving. But they could be included either way, who knows! It isn't like everyone has to be a powerhouse in football or we should all just join the SEC. And they do okay in BB.

          This comes directly from someone who had lunch with President Samuelson this afternoon.

          The president was asked what's going on with the football team, I was told he responded as follows:

          "Someday people are going to learn that when we say something, we mean it. We are not joining the Big 12."

            Sounds like a pretty accurate quote. When did BYU ever emphatically state that it was not going to join the Big 12?

            Next.

              I assume he was referring to all the things that have been said regarding BYU's complete commitment to independence. But, I wasn't at the lunch, and it didn't sound like Samuelson expounded much.

                  Why it rings true, at least to me, is that is exactly how many of the seventy speak.

                    If that stance

                    becomes public, I won't donate again. That is damned arrogant.

                        I think he needs to ask the lord again.
                        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                Since there are at least two people in this exchange claiming second-hand inside info without any serious corroboration, I would expect some level of mutual respect to be shown, regardless of one's particular agreement.
