"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" - The Rivalry Thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

I'm not offended or shocked. People do that stuff all the time. Virgin Mary bongs, sexy nun Halloween costumes, etc. They're trying to be funny and it's harmless. I'll take the irreverent Mo-hating Ute fan over an ALUF any day. They at least have a consistent ethos. Much more respectable than someone who turns their back on the university owned, operated and maintained by their religion. That said, they both suck and deserve hell.

This raises an interesting question. Which is more loathsome: prog-mos or ALUFs?

Discuss.

Sounds like a great podcast topic

Progmos are the Himalayan Pink Salt of the earth.

ALUF is way worse, but especially a TBM ALUF. A TBM ALUF is someone who pounds doors, raises money and spends months campaigning for Prop8 then later mocks BYU because people hate the school because of LDS support of Prop8. That's as lauthsome as it gets.

ProgMo's aren't loathsome. They're sometimes annoying and pretentious, but they come from a good place. They're just not as cool as a JackMormon and a tad cooler than a TBM.

[Moliere]

I am not shocked that you are offended.

Yep, that is despicable.

it just doesn't make any sense to me. like, you sustain people you believe to be divinely inspired, whose judgment and guidance you trust enough to pledge lots of time and 10% of your increase, but when those people see fit to devote resources that could otherwise be devoted to other things like missionary work or feeding the poor, to byu because they believe it's a valuable way to move the work forward, they're not credible in that respect? sorry la ute, you don't get to have it both ways.

Nice.

Say what you want about the tenets of irreverent Mo-hating Ute fans, at least they have an ethos.

I don't get it.
Isn't 80% of this board prog-mo?

Maybe I don't know what the term means.

Approaching 100% rapidly. Hell, even Moliere has bought into "the scriptures are true, but not accurate" trope.

I will never be a prog-mo. In a way I hope they are successful though because any guilt I feel over not attending all my meetings, not holding a TR, etc. will go away.

No one ever suspected you of prog-mo sympathies.

Uh, careful. That's how they get you. First you root for them to win, then exalt in their success at the expense of your own team, then you are attending games in their stadium because "they have a better atmosphere", then you don't renew your season tickets because of the crappy home schedule, then you have "issues" with the honor code, and BAM; before you know it, you are a prog-mo.

Ah c'mon. I am quite an empathetic guy with a lot of liberal views.
