Nope.

For the record, we ALUFs don't so much hate BYU the school or BYU the team as BYU the pinhead fans.

Wasn't it Wells Fargo? Or am I thinking of First Interstate?

The comparable situation is probably a guy like me, who works for a "secular" bank. I should go onto the Zions Bank message board at Yahoo Finance and complain about how self-righteous they are and be offended at their tie-ins of the Gospel and banking. Then they could tell me to go back to spending my days drinking beer and wishing I could get hired by Zions instead of at my Godless bank.

Thanks for the laugh. That was very well done.

zions and first security were going to merge, something happened at the last second and wells fargo swooped in. it was not a good take over. lots of bad stuff... of course the dust has settled.

did anyone else notice at the Jazz games that the Eccles would not put on the Zions Bank TRUE BLUE t-shirts? seems like there is some bad feelings there..

That's one of the reasons I like Eccles. He doesn't hide his true feelings.

I'll never forget the day when the Utah indoor practice facility was opened for the public to see and Eccles had Urban Meyer in a corner, giving Meyer a major what-for. It was awesome. Meyer knew he had duped the wrong guy.
