Seriously. I love that video. That was probably my all-time favorite BYU team. Our receivers were ridiculous. Chad Lewis, Itula Mili, Kaipo McGuire, K.O., James Dye and Ben Cahoon. The emotion showed by K.O. on that last play was priceless.

Those uniforms were also great.

The one redeeming thing about the "bash Mike Waters" thread is that no jackass on cougarboard apologized in behalf of all Mormons and BYU fans, etc etc.

Probably only because they can't figure out how to sign up.

I hate all of them. Aggies, Longhorns, Trojans, Buckeyes, Sooners, Utes. It makes no difference, except at least the Utes aren't artificially propped up by a faulty system.

I'm not surprised that you got this kind of response on an opponent's message board, but they're saying some pretty mean-spirited stuff.

I thought that, deep down, all Texans were mostly libertarians so I'm surprised MW got a ban. If there's fascism in Texas, it must be everywhere.

A&M is the most fascist of all Texas universities.

But some would argue that BYU is the most fascist of all Utah universities. BYU can't help it. But Aggies choose to be fascists and that is the most disgusting part.

Those guys are seriously idiots, I love the "making fun of mormons is not the same as making fun of bonfires."

different people hold different things sacred, for TAMU its keeping the university predominantly white (unless it helps athletics of course) and burning students.

For BYU its the LDS religion.

CJ, they don't burn students. They burn logs.

They actually still have a bonfire, except it is offsite and run by students who volunteer. Yes, they spend thousands of hours gathering wood, piling it up, and eventually burning it.

Back in the old days being drunk as possible was part of this. But I think there are rules against etoh at this new bonfire.

The students who died were crushed to death. Some or all of the families sued A&M. Turns out that what most people thought was safe and organized, turned out to be unsafe and was merely tradition in the way it was constructed.

I won't say A&M is overtly racist. But I will say that if you are a white racist, A&M would be a better choice for you than UT or Rice or any number of other schools.

You're not fooling anybody. You're as much Buckeye as I am Flyer. We're first and foremost Cougars.

I do have a soft spot for the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Buckeyes.
