Reading their board after the game several posters mentioned that it wasn't a very good "missionary tool", referring to the fight.
Pretty much everything to a Mormon is how they will be perceived in the public. It's all about missionary work. I guess the point of BYU football is to bring more converts into the church.
What bunch of entitled self-indulged bafoons. Bwhahahahahahah.
For any of you morons reading his thread: Where was your Mormon God? Where was Jesus? Where was Eloheim? The holy mackandcheesydick penishood? The garmies?
Apparently those penishood powers did not kick in for this Memphis team. I was astounded to see one of the BYU priesthood holders cold cock a memphis player in the back of the head.
Agreed. Not sure how it started since the cameras were on the guy that got the interception for a while, but there was ugly behavior on both sides. Number 12, the guy that ran up and punched the guy from behind, had just been punched in the face and knocked to the ground by the guy...looked like he was going to need stitches after the game. Either way, that kind of behavior doesn't belong in sports...especially over a crap bowl that nobody cares about.
There were fighters on both sides. It looks like a BYU player was the first to dive into the Memphis dogpile. But what the cameras focused on was that BYU kid, Macau or whoever, who was throwing the punches from behind while the coach was trying to help the Memphis player out of the fray. Unfortunately for BYU, that's what the news will focus on. I was wishing Memphis would just walk off the field, but they weren't taking the high road either.
So much for BYU trying to tout their so-called "honor" code, though. "Look at us, we're so moral that we won't let someone play who has slept with his girlfriend in the privacy of his own home. But we'll beat the shitt outta you."
This will be bigger than the essays and Kate Kelly combined! No one unfortunately pays attention to things like that with the church. But BYU football gets huge publicity. That fight and those sucker punches were all over national television and right now is the number one trending topic in the country.
This game brought so many bad things to the church today. Bronco will probably get fired for poor clock management and play calling. As well as a laughable call of him trying to ice the kicker on the PAT!
Bronco getting fired will show lack of unity and chaos for BYU football. BYU is losing their identity with nothing to play for.
No conference will want to pick them up after this.
ESPN is probably disgusted and might drop their contract after this.
BYU will have nothing to play for which will hurt recruiting.
Other recruits will see all this and BYU football will continue to spiral downwards.
So is sucker punching an opposing player as #12 did (even if you were hit first) and fighting (no matter who started it) in violation of the BYU Honor Code? Looks like from the video #56? from BYU started it by head butting #97 from Memphis. Will there be actions against the BYU players involved?
I just saw what led to the "fight." Memphis intercepted a poorly thrown YBU pass to end the OT. They began to celebrate at the spot of the interception..in celebration. It did not appear to be an intentional diss to BYU. It was a spontaneous celebration. Why in the hell would two BYU players get pissed off at that and jump in the pile and start throwing slugs...got me. Thank you to those two BYU players for the eventual downfall of the football program at BYU. Mormons do not like to lose. It it's a diss to their faith. They love to fight - that coming from a former stake athletic director - me. They're idiots. Sore losers and entitled. They don't like to follow the same rules. Their law is above everyone elses. You got what you deserved dumb asses.
What a bunch of idiots. I watched footage on the Washington Post website and it looked like a real brawl. I wonder how the church will handle the spin on this - or if they hope it will just go away.
Moromon jocks....the BYU started this fight in at least three different scenarios, the first one being the dogpile that they should have stayed out of. NO OTHER TEAM IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MAD ABOUT THE DOG PILE. Everything offends them.
