My understanding is that a Rodin exhibit was at BYU in the late 90s and that it didn't include "The Kiss" as it was deemed obscene.

With that in mind, why did BYU allow basketball to continue after the 1-25 season?

It is hard to think of a good comeback to that 1-25 season. Although it does seem a bit like attendance smack for Cougs vs. the Utes. But I admire the synthesis of these two disparate events into a single smackdown. Nice.

Personally, I think that Rodin smack is a lot more embarassing. That was a seriously pathetic episode in the history of BYU when the mullahs took control of common sense.

I'd have to agree about the Rodin exhibit. I wanted to see it, but decided against it because it wasn't going to include The Kiss.

Now, I will give major props to BYU when they had the King Tut exhibit way back in about '86. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen.

As for the 1-25 season, it was long enough ago that it's time to put it away, but I just couldn't help it. It just popped into my head, ya know?
