    The shift, Bradley wrote in a letter to the Trustees, brings the U. "more in line" with...Utah State University.

      Oh dear Solon, you're spending way too much time over there.

      Sounding more and more like LA predicting BYU's ultimate demise.

      Like the Junkers, the Etruscans, the Blefuscudians, Roy Hobbs, and Army Football, the true tragedy emerges when only the historians and the elderly remember how great you used to be.

      As in all Tragedies, the byu's Destiny is inescapable and ineluctable and horrifying to the audience (with a cathartic relief that we onlookers won't suffer a similar fate).

      The march to antiquarian obscurity is cruel indeed.

      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."

                Unfortunately that is well done.

                    Unsurprisingly, MBN didn't offer any context. That is my interpretation of the Jim McMahon-as-Nephi Photoshop job. I am just taking the idea to its logical conclusion.

                    I'm not two-faced, CJ. I am respectful.

                                West Jordan, UT is a college town? Who knew?
