Can we get a vote on whether JL's avatar is obscene? I want to vomit every time I see it.

Hey - Brock knows a thing or two about assholes. Or at least that's what I've been told.

BYU only exists in modern history.

Modern history meaning 1970, around the time LaVell Edwards invented the forward pass.

Oh boy.

Stay classy Brock.

BYU only exists in modern history.

And in narratives.

BYU only exists in modern history.

It depends how you define it, because many define modern era as post-WWII or post-1950. That's due to FDR bringing modern government, and the advent of modern medicine becoming widespread, vaccines and technology spreading. Perhaps you disagree with that definition. But yes, BYU is a young university.

And yes it's Wilkinson, not Wilkerson.

Your snarky comment is much appreciated.

He must have suffered from a mini-Ernie Wilkerson or is it Wilkinson complex, thinking their people seeking to undermine the Church in every corner of the university. He was the worst BYU president in modern times, followed by Samuelson.

My favorite Bateman memory was that he wanted to outlaw email on campus at one time because of the possibility of receiving pornographic spam (or other email that would drive the spirit away or something).

Bateman failed at everything for the Cougs.

He axed the wrestling and men's gymnastics teams which were both top five programs.

He failed to get the expansions necessary and promised the other Olympic sports a lot of things but never delivered.

He was a mini-Ernie Wilkerson and treated many a professor like shit, handing down edicts like a demonic king, acting against academic freedom and ruling like an autocratic tyrant. Other than that he was wonderful. Also he started or re-started the reign of GAs as President.

Bateman is a curse word among those who know him.

sorry originalsadcoug

No problem...an artist is strengthened by criticism. Besides I know you were referencing Topper.

[falafel]

Boo, I liked the fantasy novel.

Much better than real life where Master Bateman was the worst byu president that I can remember.

Actually, I was referring to Topper's fantasy one-liners. I don't think you'll deny me a little Topper abuse.

I'm not buying all the bad stuff about Bateman but he was definitely a mediocre pres and bad for BYU athletics. He also introduced tan into the BYU color scheme which is an abomination that took a decade to completely expunge. Also, they say never follow a legend and Rex Lee was the rill dill.

[BigPiney]

Well it certainly provides something close to details, which was what I was asking for earlier in this thread. Much better than penning a bad fantasy novel and including Bateman as the demonic king.
