    "Dear Tom Holmoe" - the thread for saying stuff to Tom Holmoe

    Now that we know TH checks in here and having noticed a number of messages to him were cropping up in other threads I thought "this is absurd - how is he supposed to find these?"

    Here's the solution: A thread that Tom checks once a day (Tom, I suggest you check this in the morning after you've read your scriptures) - he gets some bargain advice from high-priced counselors like PAC, SU and LA Ute, the fan apparel recommendations / peerless sleuthing skills of DDD, the latest Radiohead bootlegs from MG, the Texas perspective from Babs and everything he needs to know to get cut and swollen from Pelagius.

    My own thing to say to Tom Holmoe for now is just this: Tom - do you remember that time you had that pick-6 at Georgia and we only lost by 3 pts because Steve threw 5 INTs? That was awesome. The pick 6, not the losing. You don't have to respond, and I'll understand if you don't.

      God help me, if one of you Utes comes in here and starts posting crap, I will not show mercy.

        I just sent Tom the link to this thread and invited him to sign up and subscribe to it so he could receive automatic updates whenever we post in it. I also explained the advantages of having a direct line to the educated fan base that CUF. Still waiting for a reply, but confident he'll heed my advice.

          Tom. Buddy. Listen to me. I recognize that sometimes you just have to do what you are told (believe me I do), but you are staring into the abyss on this one. Don't muff it. If we pass up a ticket to the BIG TIME and say no for some crazy reason, things most definitely will get ugly with the fans. Ugly beyond your worst nightmare. You don't want this to be your legacy. Seize the moment, amigo. Don't let us down.

            Hmmm, okay LA and DU, the Dude has spoken, so forget what I said over there. Maybe you could start your own thread for the inane blather that you want BYU Athletic Director Tom Holmoe to read.

            You could title it, "Dear Tom Holmoe, we're Ute Fans and we have some inane blather in here for you to read."

            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."

              Listen to The Dude, Tom. He's never steered us wrong.

                  Tom, sucks we had to stay independent. I hope a stable or new league comes along that gives us a chance.

                  Have a bitchin' summer!

                  Coach.

                    OK, The Dude plagiarizes me and you give him credit. Foul! Unfair!

                    Tommy, listen to the Dude. Think: Val.

                        Tom - is Coach trying to tell us he knows something in this note? Or is it just a bit of gallows humor?

                        Thanks,

                            And Tom, don't worry about my season tickets now. We can take care of that later.

                              Dear Tom,

                              If you had your druthers, BYU would be in the Big 12. Unfortunately, you were deep-sixed by Sam Donaldson's hair's stunt double.
                              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
