I love BYU because of its heart and beliefs not because she wins ball games, but because she teaches their players its more important to be good men and good women then to win a ball game. Yes I love it when BYU wins and I feel proud when they do especially when the experts disrespectfully say there is "noway" we can win. But when the lights are out and the clock says zero I much rather have my foes respect earned by hustle, great play and character then win a trophy or award that will only collect dust and will be soon forgotten. There is a lot of winning and losing in sports and in life and I am glad that she teaches that you must learn from both. Yes we are often criticized because we do not play on Sunday, or our players are too old, or rules and scholastic standards are to high, or......or.... wouldn't you much rather have it that way and earn anothers respect over time using patience, a respectful "congratulation, and a sincere handshake at games end then a bitter I was "Robbed" even if you were? Our history shows we have been kicked around all over this country before we found a home yet we always seemed to pick ourselves up again and again and will continue to do so. Yes our enemy's list is long and getting longer but even they begrudgingly must respect us because we believe and usually do what we say. Sports is a game of fun and entertainment it is and should never be the "end all" or "life or death" but it will teach us to respect others and teach us how to earn others respect if you will let it.
