A rediculous reply to a rediculous statement, but I got tons of compliments for it on both sides.

I personaly don't believe that the Lord wants BYU teams to win more than anyone else. What is more likely to me is that the Lord uses the teams (and this doesn't just go for BYU) to teach the individuals playing on them important lessons and the like.

3 Nephi 11:8

8 And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.

John 19:5

5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

Hey fusnik - what he said.

Sounds like the Lord's a Weber State fan as well, eh?

The "objective" analysis of why one team's better than the other in football/basketball/gymnastics/academics/recruiting is definitely old.

The pirate dinghy, on the other hand, never gets old. :lol:

that I should be a ute fan and that I dont fit in with the zoobie mold (not that all BYU fans are like that). But I dont mind a good rivalry smack now and again. I do agree it is the same stuff year in and year out.

Morgan "prick" Scalley said something funny the other day he said
"If i were recruiting for the UofU I would tell all the recruits that we are the only school in the country with two home stadiums"

I thought that was pretty funny.
