Doesn't it sometimes feel like there is no God?

Tease us like this, and pull the rug out from under us.

I'm going to puke.

Sure, if Brandon did something against the honor code, I'm not going to condone it.

But just once, just once, can we do something really mean to the snitch? Would that be bad?

I am sick, as I will be an old man, next time BYU might have an opportunity to be relevant again. I will be sick watching these team fall apart.

I am not certain I can watch it.

An OU alum at work just emailed me this:

BYU's potential for success in the tournament just went down appreciably with the dismissal of your starting forward, Brandon Davies. I applaud BYU for putting its tenets ahead of athletics (and the potential for many $$).
I hope they join the Big 12.

This is like aural orgasm for BYU administrators. "Every fiber of their being" tingles when they see something like this. Dammit!

A&M fans hate Mormons, but they are enjoying the contrast between the Mormons and the Baptists (Baylor). Baylor didn't suspend their star guard after he broke his girlfriend's jaw in three places (because charges were dropped). It's just that they hate Baylor more.

All well and good if BYU's tenets weren't so wrong.

Like I said, this has brought out anti-Mormons from all their usual dark places.

MikeWaters · 03-02-2011, 08:23 PM

I really hope Davies can stick at BYU and stay for next season. You know, story of redemption.

But I think ute4ever is right. That must be beyond mortifying for Davies and his family (whom I think are Mormon). This would be like getting kicked off your mission, and coming home to find it is the lead story in the national news.

Obviously, as fans, we are tremendously disappointed. But we are also powerless.

Brandon, if you are within the call of my voice, please come back to BYU, with your head up, and kick some ass next year.

Sorry but this is an example of why I think BYU is despicable. You guys are ruining this 19 year old kid beceuse he got his girl pregnant. If you weren't so backward he'd have used a condom like they do everywhere else. If there's any justice BYU will lose the rest of its games so the mullahs in CB won't be saying BYU was blessed.

There are only 2 things that could be worse about this:

1. Listening to the guys on CB talk about this. I have, of course, managed to avoid this.

2. Listenin to the guys on the MTN talk about this. Unfortunately, I will just have to cringe. I may mute.
