For Ute fans, and for BYU fans with a sense of humor

[SteelBlue]

Since several found it offensive, I've taken the video down but left a link. I was surprised that anyone was offended, but on reflection I can see that, and youse guys are my brethren (whether I like it or not), and this board is not about offending people. Sorry!

During the pre-election Prop 8 wars there was a version of this satirizing the "No" side, and I thought that was side-splittingly funny too.

I don't think anyone was offended and if they were they haven't been paying attention as these Hitler videos are everywhere. Plus if you can't laugh at the line "anyone who bought one of those quest for perfection t-shirts leave now" then when can you laugh?

What's interesting about this . . .

is that that clip has been used over and over for similar spoofs. Sony Pictures had the Prop 8 spoof pulled. The others seem to have been left alone.

One thing that's become clear since last Saturday is BYU fans have the thinnest skins of any people on earth. It's been a while since I've seen such a mass persecution complex.

I'm sure Ute fans are laying it on a little thicker this year. Two years of hearing "Harline is still open," "Austin 4.18" and "Magic Happens", coupled with the hubris of declaring a "Quest for Perfection" before the season began, makes the final act of this little tragedy even more cathartic for the self-affirming audience.

Nemesis is always a bitch.

LOL. Based on what, specifically?

I am going to go ahead and say that apostates that cant leave the Mormon church alone are 1st, BYU fans are 2nd.

SU's customary level of objectivity and analysis. He seems oblivious to the fact that his enduring presence on boards that are managed by BYU fans (who, if their skins were as thin as he alleges, would have Shiz'd him years ago) contradicts his observation. To his credit, I suppose, our dermal thickness has increased because of him.

I think it's more a matter of the attention many of us are willing to pay to his posts. Sometimes, on religious posts at least, he is reduced to the cyberspace equivalent of a protester at Temple Square during general conference

When it comes to sports posts, however, he is often peerless, especially regarding Ute lore and history. He's also pretty astute about Ute sports in general. I am a fan of his.

You need some new peers. ASAFP.

"Often" being the operative word.

"Often" being the operative word.

"often" implies regularity, frequency, multiple instances, etc.

Maybe I need to pay more attention.

Hey, cut me some slack here. I'm trying to give props to a Ute brother.

Good point.

Hey SU, just in case it isn't obvious, I was kidding about being upset with those e-mails I get regarding Max Hall. I thought they were pretty funny. That's why I posted them here.

ha. you're right. carry on, hermano.

I just don't want SU to get a swollen dome. He already is looking like Nostradamus with his Oregon State posts.

Clever.

USC might hit 75 against Notre Dame.
