this apparent 2015 recruiting slogan: "2015 Chosen Ones"?

I just get a little uncomfortable when we mix religious or spiritual language with football and sports., even if its not so subtle.

Maybe its just me.

Someone else had to approve it. Sounds arrogant to me. Why give the competition

No they didn't. It's just a twitter thing he does. And...

Nobody approved anything. It's a hashtag on twitter. Mountains out of mole hills

Here is the slogan Coastcat would approve us:

No, I am for the world knowing BYU is not like other universities and doesn't

When ever you say you are "different" its going to imply that one

Bostonblue

1/31/15 10:07pm

My perspective was merely from a LDS player vs a Non-LDS player recruitment

coastcat

2/1/15 7:58am

Interestingly, I think it was Martzen that started using the "chosenones"

Bostonblue

It's just you.

God doesn't care about football

We believe in a God that cares about every fallen sparrow.

Oh then how much more will He pick us up and Dust us Off and Put us back into

That's because the poor sparrow dies

AxelDC

Axel, you are just making it up as you go my friend.

Bostonblue

1/31/15 1:33pm

You are implying that you aren't?

AxelDC

Like I said, we believe in a God that cares for every sparrow.

He cares about football because we care about football

As a father with school-aged kids, it makes me wonder if BYU thinks they are

Yes, what an incredibly dumb thing to worry about

Remigius

It does sound a little pretentious and self-righteous, I agree

"2015 Chosen Ones" has to be religious or spiritual? uh...no. it doesn't have to

i thought Harry Potter was the Chosen One or was it Anakin Skywalker?

SpiffCoug

1/31/15 9:35am

I thought it was Neo

LonePeakCoug

1/31/15 11:43am

this is not a big deal but..... they should use different language

HarlemCoug

1/31/15 9:42am

Complete over-reaction. Why does this have to be religious to you? It's funny

SUAVO

I guess BYU should expand the stadium now to 144,000

I think it sounds a little weird.

You're probably only bothered because you're Mormon. Not every figure of speech
