DO NOT THROW WATER BALLOONS AT BYU PLAYERS

I guess this is the Mormon equivalent of a drive-by retaliatory strike…

Just wait until the toilet paper rolls start flying…

This is absolutely shocking. There should be a Fulmer Cup Multiplier on these points or something…1.5x’s on school name recognition alone.

Let’s see:

USC owns the police

Purdue “owns this place”

And now, BYU owns 6th place, all by it’s lonesome.

One of these things is not like the others

(and surprisingly, it’s USC. come on trojans, pick it up)

come on trojans, pick it up

Don’t worry, spring practice will be over soon, and free time will be abundant.

I could see this happening in junior high. Not college. Well, I bet going to BYU would be like a constant junior high party. Heavy making out, pranks with water balloons, young boys beating their chests to look cool in front of the girls. It’s a good thing the shaving cream didn’t get out or somebody could have ended up with their feelings hurt.

You laugh, but this is how it starts. A harmless water balloon fight. Next thing you know the girls will be sipping lattes down at Starbucks and the guys will be trading in their bicycles and white button down collars for skateboards and hawaiian shirts in true Jeff Spicoli style. Its the downfall of the Mormons as we know it.

Uh, I think the downfall fo Mormons happened when they got the boot roughly one zillion times and finally had to end up in the desert.

Or, maybe the time the U.S. Army went out to have a little war with them.

I advise everyone read “under the banner of heaven” before you throw another water ballon at a mormon.

Yeah, cause the mormon church has just faded into oblivion after the migration to Utah and the Mormon War. Oh, wait no it was the second fastest growing major religion in the United States in 2006 and Mormonism is the fastest growing faith group in American history according to “U.S. News & World Report,” which reports that if present trends continue there could be 265 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) worldwide by 2080.

AND on top of that, since the Chinese are ignoring peak oil and abandoning their bicycles, the Mormons will be poised to rule – rule! – the post internal-combustion-engine apocalypse. Along with the Dutch and Danes, of course, provided that they don’t drown when Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Copenhagen slide beneath the waves.

265 million may be too conservative an estimate.

And the ranks will swell again when, in your apocalyptic senario, people realize their Mormon neighbors have a year supply of food and water as well a monopoly on bicycle transport.

Holy shit, the mormons are in the Fulmer cup!

This has to be some sort of sign of an impending apocalypse, and I for one, welcome our new drone overlords.

Odell51 – nail on the head brutha, nail on the head. I’ve heard first base in Provo is seeing martha’s cankles.

Faced with a lack of coffee and (just guessing here) Thai food, I shall leave a note saying that I am going out and will be gone some time. Good luck to them.

No Mountin’ Dew out in Provo!

I bought beer in provo once. I also bought some cigarettes.

To wit, my buddy and I got a great picture of us smoking and drinking in front of the statue of BY himself on the campus. The loks of sheer terror as we walked by the freshman orientation class were priceless.

What do Mormons have against Thai food?

(Also, [the few] Mormons who didn’t go to BYU often make fun of those who did – they are like an extreme version . . .)

+1 for Shackleford expedition reference, DC. By the way, do you know any fanatical Trojans still in England? I ran into a family of them in Rome over Easter, decked out in Garnet and Gold.

Based on those numbers of Mormon followers in 2080, One would suspect that the National Championship game every year would be BYU vs Hawaii every single year. And the Rose Bowl will become a Utah vs Utah State annual rivalry game.

I got to sit down close to the BYU cheerleaders at the NCAA regionals…unreal. Every one was all-world. Just a murderer’s row.

Reports were that Weber State’s are pretty nice too.

Nothing, in all likelihood, I’m just thinking that there’s not a lot of freeze-dried panang gai in the year’s worth of supplies.

Not at all – the only Euros I knew at SC were a Finnish undergrad and an English philosophy grad student, neither of whom were interested in college football as far as I can tell. This may be a personal quirk, but I can’t say that I would be rocking the cardinal – and – gold in Rome or indeed anywhere else in western Europe. No need to attract the scorn of the locals and traveling rivals.
