Utah state fans taking cheap shots.

So we are still the self-righteous ones, right?

If God called him to play for BYU, who am I to judge?

Aggie's are especially touchy about missions because of this recurring problem.

I'm not a fan of USU, but let's not be snowflakes here.

They are asserting that BYU plucks players from the field whenever it is
SUAVO
3/29/17 6:32pm
It's not a documentary, it's Twitter. It's a shot, but not a cheap shot.
OpusX
3/29/17 6:34pm
? What makes it cheap is the shot towards a defenseless person/thing (BYU).
SUAVO
3/29/17 6:49pm
It is a low blow. BYU had nothing to do with him leaving the field early.
ImuaKahuku
3/29/17 6:53pm
The guy who posted that doesn't believe BYU made an effort to get Zach back...
OpusX
3/29/17 7:16pm
It is what it is. A low blow that is a shot at the missionary program
ImuaKahuku

I guess "discussion" = "hit a nerve"

You're flat out wrong. It most definitely is a

You'd be tweeting the same things at Aggie sports writers/voices if an Aggie were sent home early?
mulletino
3/29/17 6:34pm
No. And I honestly doubt any of anybody on here would even if it is cb.
abyunobody

Apparently OpusX does this all the time

I'm not defending anything passionately. I honestly don't care.
OpusX

Define "worked up"
SUAVO

They were cheap in that they insinuated that.BYU called them back home.

I have nothing better to do with my time than tweet about who came home early
crazY
3/29/17 6:47pm
That would mean we actually care about USU
WJCougar
3/29/17 6:53pm
I'm not glad they had to come home early, but many on here would absolutely be saying this stuff if it was the Utes
SingleStrapBackpack
3/29/17 7:23pm
Many? Or maybe one or two. And Utah is not affiliated with the church 🍎 and
ImuaKahuku
3/29/17 7:51pm
There are plenty of RMs at Utah and yes, far more than one or two CBers would be singing this same tune
SingleStrapBackpack
3/29/17 10:33pm
I don't think so. Utah is not LDS run. The implication in this tweet is that
ImuaKahuku
3/30/17 9:54pm
no we wouldn't. most of us barely know who any Aggie players are.

Ya, BYU encourages them to go on missions and then tells them to come home.
SUAVO
3/29/17 6:27pm
BYU: "Go become emaciated in Panama for 12-18 months. We'll come calling if we need you asap in horrible shape."

Weed in Cache county is top shelf- Mika & Childs scored 998 pts- 100 3 pointers

Go easy on them; the life of a USU fan is extremely depressing.

Can't wait to poach any decent RMs they have in 2018. Love you Aggies. Great farm team.

Yeah because watching Heaps was way more fun!

Someone needs to remind him that we make the rules.

can we say BCS without the 'C' on this board? Fetch, that's so edgy!

probably the fastest way to get fired as a coach from BYU.... you think the BOT would put up with that????

Aggie Andee is that you? MoooOOOOOooooo!
Bluedarts
3/29/17 9:26pm
If somebody is medically unable to serve but can manage playing D1 basketball,
LifelongAP
3/30/17 1:43pm
ridiculous comment. it's not like the season starts tomorrow. He's got months and
HarlemCoug
3/30/17 1:49pm
So he'd be home too long recovering to go back out?
LifelongAP
3/31/17 10:48am
That's what I am assuming as well. Not sure how many D1 athletes can't handle
Blue streak
3/30/17 3:11pm
It was his calling. Next part of his mission. Kind of like Steve Young's mission.
RSLCoug
3/29/17 7:52pm
Cheap shot or not, is it not fair to ask why
neboutefan
3/29/17 8:41pm
It is never fair to ask why someone is medically unable to continue a mission
Nathanael Greene
3/29/17 8:48pm
I disagree. Asking why someone was sent home for
neboutefan
3/29/17 9:19pm
All of his personal life should be MYOB.
RSLCoug
3/29/17 9:25pm
Just sounds like you're on a buzz hunt to me.
Bluedarts
3/29/17 9:28pm
Buzz hunt?
neboutefan
3/29/17 9:36pm
It means you are a Ute on a BYU board asking about...
WJCougar
3/29/17 9:38pm
I've said nothing about faking a medical condition.
neboutefan
3/29/17 9:48pm
So what are you saying then?
BYU '80
3/29/17 11:44pm
He doesn't really know obviously.
WJCougar

I'm saying exactly what Blue streak is saying in the post below, which is the

3/30/17 11:54am
Haven't seen many byu fans ask as a proportion of all those on here
BYU '80
3/30/17 11:06pm
No. A kid coming home early is MYOB no matter what.
CMuehle
3/29/17 9:49pm
That's fair, of course there are also plenty of BYU fans
neboutefan
3/29/17 9:56pm
Sure there are a few but Utes and aggies engaged in this conversation
BYU '80
3/29/17 11:45pm
Who cares? It's his life.
RSLCoug
3/29/17 9:18pm
why? so you can judge him? typical self righteous ute

I'm having a tough time thinking of many examples of this. Nick Emery? and who else?
SpiffCoug
3/29/17 8:59pm
Toolson?
downtownchrisbrown
3/29/17 9:01pm
Lee Cummard. In football, Max Hall.
OpusX
3/29/17 9:08pm
Bad examples.
CMuehle
3/29/17 9:40pm
No athlete ever came home to help the program. To think otherwise is silly.
OpusX
3/29/17 10:01pm
Then what's his point?
CMuehle
3/29/17 10:16pm
Of course it's a jab. It's good natured smack.
OpusX
3/29/17 10:37pm
How is that good natured in any way? Dumb and entry level thinking yes
BYU '80
3/29/17 11:48pm
don't bother those aggie fans with things like facts.
yahtzee
3/29/17 10:18pm
Wasn't there one around the Demarcus Harrison thing?
Gerald-DeGroot
3/30/17 12:51am
That might have been Toolson.
OpusX
3/30/17 1:05am
So over all the years we have, what, 5 guys do this and all of the sudden it's
Bluedarts
3/29/17 9:30pm
Good thing nobody actually cares about Utah state fans
Machiavelli
3/29/17 11:31pm
Honest question: does it seem a little inconsistent that a player isn't healthy
Blue streak
3/30/17 10:50am
It's about rehab. It's not like he's going to start playing basketball...
OpusX
3/30/17 11:01am
And my mission was hard enough. I can't imagine having done it with a physical ailment.
RdF3
3/30/17 12:18pm
Agree - now try playing D1 basketball with that ailment. That's the confusion.
Blue streak
3/30/17 3:08pm
There's no confusion. None.
mulletino
3/30/17 6:53pm
Yes. Yes it is.

I'd say, "Nice having the Supreme Being of the Universe on your side, isn't it."
Marking Time

It is nice, for all of us, Cougs, Utes, Aggies, and everyone else.
neboutefan
3/30/17 1:36pm
I don't fault any kid for coming home early, whatever the reason...
OpusX
3/30/17 3:20pm
This is exactly right. We shouldn't fault any kid for NOT going on mission.
Blue streak
3/30/17 3:26pm
I agree. The stigma in the church can be unbearable to some.
Gerald-DeGroot
3/30/17 3:48pm
Our mission scout royally messed up with Dastrup. Should have brought him 18
