    This is it. We are very sensitive about criticisms of the LDS Church on this website. Please adjust accordingly. Thank you.

      I actually haven't found that to be the case. Many here seem to be okay with discussion that sometimes puts the LDS Church and their leadership in a questionable light.

        Seriously? Let me know if/when you see it and I'll get it taken care of.

          The fact that the school pounds this same key over and over again even in non-religious arenas, like sports, seems to indicate it is not yet comfortable socially with its mormon world view.

          We get it. It's in your school name.

              Seriously. Tom Holmoe is going to lose interest and miss out on some important communication.

                Ok Tom, I read the pregame interview. I was encouraged. Sorry to let the emotions boil over, but I want to see my team in Lawrence, Manhattan and maybe Columbia. Keep us informed as much as possible, and more than the first 6 weeks of this saga.

                      Tom,

                      Thanks for the update. Even though you didn't say much, we appreciate the gesture.

                        Dear Tom,

                        DO NOT ignore any of the emails you received over the few days prior to your latest public comments. Instead, TAKE NAMES AND KICK ASSES.

                        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."

                          Really? I thought the genesis of the site was a desire for little to no censorship of opinion?

                          How are you, YOhio?

                          As for my message to TH:

                          I'm glad to hear you want BYU to play on a big stage, but I don't think I can go another year without knowing how you plan to make that happen. Uncertainty is killing college football for me.

                            If you haven't sent it yet, you can add "and BYU71 feels the same way".

                              YOhio is kidding you. This site is only modestly censored, and not for criticism of the LDS Church.

                                "Modestly" might not be the best term, especially from some dude with his junk hanging out.
