Look upon us and weep!
Satan's minions.

Brigham Young University Athletic Communications has issued its official take on BYU's loss to the University of Utah last weekend. Here's the first two paragraphs of the the Y's recollection of the game:
SALT LAKE CITY (Nov. 22, 2008) — In the game of the decade on Saturday, favored No. 7 Utah took advantage of mistakes by underdog No. 14 BYU enroute to a 48-24 victory.

Before a crowd of 46,488 at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the second-largest in Ute history, and amidst red-clad MUSS fans with anti-BYU signs mocking Diety, Proposition 8, and themes of fully invested and "quest for perfection," the teams matched field goals, touchdowns, punts, but not interceptions and fumbles.
It's a wonder God didn't smite the Utes then and there.

My sons, both Ute fans were in at the stadium. They reported seeing the profane and obscene verbal abuse that BYU fans were subjected to. And yes...antiMormon diatribes. They also witnessed physical abuse as well as theft of personal property. Drinking was rampant. From their report the bathrooms were littered with beer bottles in the toilets and vomit everywhere.

Perhaps the BYU report has some small basis in fact. Of course, one would never expect the Tribune's blog to have even an ounce of sympathy Mormons or the LDS Church. Afterall, all things Mormon seem to be the inspirational muse for this blog. Without Mormons...nearly 80% of the content would disappear.

God will smite them in his own due time.

Can you imagine how little this Presbyterian cares about religion mixing with football?? It's a game! Played by kids! It's supposed to be fun! If someone is mocking someone elses religion - either to demean them or to claim a moral high ground for themselves - they are fanatics and should be looked upon as such. God doesn't work that way and neither should you.

Utes prefer to do their drinking, swearing, and vomiting in public. As opposed to the Y students - who like to do their's in private...

Please stop complaining BYLosers. Utah just earned you a cool million. Show a little gratitude.

Ps. Is BYU going to pay tithe on the million dollar chack Utah earned them from the BCS? Perhaps they could start a scholarship in Kyle Whittingham, Bryan Johnson or Louie Sakoda's name with it.

I was at the game. I had to pee twice - in a men's room - and I saw no beer bottles, no puke, nothing that would lead me to believe the what first Anonymous wrote. . .

I did see the signs. I did hear yelling. Saw no physical abuse, except for what the Utah players were doing on the field to the BYU team.

So, telling tall fibs for God continues . . .

Well BYU fans probably don't want to play a school in one of the major conferences... because what happened at Saturdays game is so mild compared to SEC, BIG 12 and the Big 10 because their is no mercy! They rip each other apart. That is what most people call a rival, the crazier the better.

I guess we can just call them Bitter YU because they lost... whaaaa!

If you want to be treated and considered adults, go to the U.

Football fans suck.

Glen Warchol, I think you should take your tired act to San Fransico. Since the LDS church is not a dominant presence there you might have to switch targets and mock every single thing associated with homosexuality and the gay community.
