In the year 2000, the church experienced the lowest number of baptisms in decades, 273,000. BYU went 6-6. In 2001, the football team improved considerably, and the number of baptisms went up to 291,000. In 2002, 2003, and 2004, BYU had three losing seasons and baptisms dropped to 282,000; 243,000; and 241,000, respectively. This year, after going 6-6 again, baptisms went up to 243,000.

There is a clear and indisputable correlation between the success of the football team and the success of the missionary program. You utes think about this next time you cheer against the Y-- after all, thousands of souls are at stake every time BYU takes the field.

Don't you love how you can make statistics say anything you want?
