    Is there going to be a prediction thread for this game, or is the season sufficiently over?

      Interesting. In my opinion both Joseph and Brigham were competitive enough that they would have found a way around the HC for athletes at BYU. I don't think either one of them were "image" conscious and would have privately supported the pelting of the refs with garbage.

I hope Bronco will remind the team of what happened in Tennessee all those years ago to fire the guys up.

        Of course whenever we sing "Praise to the Man" in Sac Meeting, I lustily sing out the second verse as it originally read:

        "Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins, / Stain Illinois, while the earth lauds his fame."

        Never forget, good brother, never forget.
        I sing that line too.

          If Joseph had made the trek west and we were JSU instead of BYU, we would excel at the stick pull.

            Joseph would've been very forgiving. I'm not sure the honor code would've been a huge issue.

            Brigham would've either barred the referees from entering the state in the first place, had them massacred by people dressed as Indians and blamed it on the Utes, or simply put his own refs in the game in the first place. I'm not sure he would've supported throwing things, but he may have supported public humiliation and a whipping.

              Three pages of talk about BH Roberts and JS/BY thoughts on the Honor Code. I guess we're just not into this game.

              Sorry for not caring, MTSU. It isn't us, it's you.

                It is the thread title. It started everything off on the wrong foot and never recovered.

                This thread sucks.

                  Start another game thread. See if it catches on. If not, you're SeattleUte.

                    I had an interest until I saw it was a 20 pt spread. Let's see, Friday night playing a team we are favored by 20 pts over. Leave bountiful around 5 and get home around 1. If I want to use my VIP parking pass, I need to leave at 4 so I can get to the game in time to park in that parking lot before everyone else plus a 1,000 extra passes sold get there.

                    Nope not real interested in the game until game time. Luckily one of my boys said he has two friends that will go to the game with him. I will write off the $300 as entertaining potential clients.

                      A new thread? My last game thread is still one of the most active on the board so Im kind of busy with that one right now.

                        Careful, you're going to give yourself whiplash. Let us know when your schedule clears.

                          I once had a thread that had a lot of hits. When that happened I gained an understanding of why you get a renob when one of yours does well.

                              Having one was new to me, unlike yourself. Therefor I did not earmark and archive it.

                                I did a quick search for threads you have started. The most effective one that I saw had 48 replies. You were thinking about buying a new washing machine and needed help.
