This is right on the level of Marty Johnson complaining about football player hating gangs up at Utah.

I think you need to go back and read the article again. I didn't see anything in there referring to "white Mormon oppression."

Perhaps you are referencing this comment:

"I just think it's absolutely ridiculous that people take something like that and blow it up. I really think it's because I'm a Mormon white kid from Brigham Young University. Anybody else says that from any other team and it's just 'how spiritual that guy is.'"

He's right, if he were a black, born again Christian, from the bible belt playing at Texas, nobody would have thought twice about what he said. You are AGAIN misconstruing what he said to twist the intent of his statement into something you can mock.

Utes lost, Collie hasn't said anything out of line, get over it.

I think a little mockery is fair...after all I still mock Kurt Warner for his post superbowl victory exclamation, "THANK YOU JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUUUUUUUUS!"

Fair enough, but you didn't have to twist around anything Warner said to find the amusing material. If mpfunk wants to mock Collie that's fine, although I think he needs to at least make some effort to stick to the facts.

I agree the mockery I have read today has been funny. The bitter whining and self righteous "This young man does not represent the LDS Church and the LDS Church should shut down BYU sports" was funny as well, but for a different reason.

People are blowing it up because "I'm a Mormon white kid from Brigham Young University." Let's see he says this is all because he is Mormon (check), and white (check). I guess he is saying he is being singled out because he is a picked on white Mormon kid. This is particularly funny coming from him considering how he walks around all blinged out.

Do you pretend to be irrational, or does it just come naturally?

I think it is quite easy here. Let's take Collie's quote piece by piece.

First he says people are making it an issue only because he is a white Mormon from BYU.
He follows that up by saying that if anyone else (someone who isn't a white Mormon from BYU) said what he said they would be telling him how spiritual the guy is.

I would say it is pretty easy when you actually read the statement, that he is saying he is being picked on because he is a white Mormon from BYU. I did throw in the upper class thing for effect.

You know when the Utes say stupid things, like Marty Johnson talking about football player hating gangs, I laugh at them instead of trying to claim they said something different.
