suppose to have a connection to BYU. They are suppose to be well known places to people that live in those areas, which they were.

Texas got 3 boxes, Texas was not snubbed and it certainly wasn't a failure, though I understand if you live near Houston that you might be disappointed.

You're right, it's to connect and engage with the fans

They certainly didn't show up in time for the picture

So Deleware has more passionate cougar fans, noted

Delaware gets 3 boxes next year, Texas 1

World of Coke in GA? (BYU Connection is no caffeinated Coke on campus...)...BTW,

SwisshQiumi

8/23/14 7:46am

So there aren't many fans there. Got it. Why does Texas have 3 boxes anyway?

macaroni

8/23/14 7:58am

because they were targeting Houston, DFW and Austin

BlackBart

Man, these Texas guys are crying the most over this thing.

The whining really is bigger in Texas.

So embarrassing. It's a dark day in Texas.

Doesn't make sense to drop the box at a location where several

It's usually a local alum who makes the drop.

That's splitting hairs. The point is that it isn't BYU marketing directly

BlackBart

Indiana got snubbed too

docsquared

Alums are dropping them off. It is what works for them.

Where did you live before you moved to TX?

Right, because the Bean in Chicago lies at the very heart of BYU tradition.

HeismanTy

8/23/14 7:20am

Also, DFW has 4x the number of BYU fans as Houston.

Supercoug

8/23/14 7:26am

That's not accurate.

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:03am

You think it's closer to 5x? I am prone to underestimating.

Supercoug

8/23/14 9:08am

Let's compare DFW support for bowl game vs Tulsa and UofH game...

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:16am

Come again? Tulsa???

Supercoug

8/23/14 9:29am

I was at both. And I am North of Austin.

BarraCouga

8/23/14 9:35am

Right back at ya. I was at OU and all home TCU games post-2005

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:53am

I thought you were talking about 2007.

Supercoug

8/23/14 10:24am

Either way, still doesn't help your original response.

Supercoug

8/23/14 10:24am

Sure it does. I guess you weren't there. Local support stunk - at a bowl game.

BlackBart

8/23/14 10:51am

Well, following your previous argument most of the fans at previous games came

carlstud

8/23/14 4:10pm

ahhh...so totally disregard the lack of support local to the bowl, interesting..

BlackBart

8/23/14 4:28pm

This is your argument. Your arguing that

carlstud

8/23/14 4:32pm

No, my argument is that locally held games are a manifestation/indicator

BlackBart

8/24/14 6:11am

My original post was trolling the OP. I thought that was obvious.

Lived extensively in both areas.

Someone guessed wrong and didn't get a box?

Hey, mr. Whiney, did you see a DC box? We easily have many more

You never know, you could be getting the box today.

See.

akmewg

Not DC

One dropped at the Lincoln memorial, the other at the pentagon (maybe not

akmewg

True. But the pentagon is in VA. Huge mormons population here, too.
