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

way is better than the other. Especially when one school has higher academic/moral/[INSERT ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS HERE]. To a certain extent, I think you have to feel comfortable with the fact that what we are trying to do really is different from what others are doing, and if we didn't think it was "better", we wouldn't be promoting it.

It was started by Martzen who is not LDS

1/31/15 7:06am

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

coastcat

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

1/31/15 8:07am

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

Here is the slogan Coastcat would approve us:

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

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

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

You are implying that you aren't?

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

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

SpiffCoug

1/31/15 9:35am

I thought it was Neo

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

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

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