ok, that makes sense.

I heard he'd had a beer earlier in the day so God was obviously punishing him.

Not that fans think BYU should win because of righteousness...

The point of the thread is moral superiority

yes but "moral superiority" is just the excuse BYU haters use to hate on BYU

At least a portion of BYU's fanbase thinks it's entitled to wins from the lord
