Because he'd rather raise the ire of others on here by saying what he does and then see what kind of reaction he can get from church members. U and Y fans alike.

Or maybe he honestly believes that Foster would be better off not going on a mission. I certainly don't agree with him, but he may actually believe what he is posting.

He may believe Foster would be better off not serving a mission, but he certainly doesn't have Foster's best interest at heart. It's all about wanting Foster to play basketball for the Utes in order for him (SU) to be happy with the team.

No, you are distorting something I said on Utefans. I take special interest in Foster as a Ute fan. But as an abstract proposition I believe there are better uses of one's time than spending two years on a Mormon mission. I honestly believe that, and I might add that most people would agree with me, and they are not disproportionately comprised of bad people. None of my children, including my two sons, will be playing for the Utes, and I won't be encouraging any of them to go on missions. This doesn't make me evil; only in a very few places, relatively speaking, would I be considered such for holding this view.

While you may feel that you have his best interest at heart, you're forgetting one very major detail: Only Foster knows what is best for Foster. Your opinion, my opinion or any other's opinion is 100% irrelevant.

I am constantly amazed at how quickly an innocuous comment by SU can send a board into meltdown. I expect it of Cougarboard, but I'm surprised that the intellects at the Guard fall for it. I encourage a more charitable reading of his comments. I don't think he's as devious as this thread would implicate. |

Me too. In a perfect world, I would have preferred that he be inclined to do so, but wasn't. What am I to do? The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
