Ridiculous tweet from radio host in Lincoln, Nebraska regarding BYU

If you're going to be a religious school w/ a football team full of thugs, you have to be willing to accept the backlash. #BYU #ThugMormons

In the same thread he also said,

@Sker4Lyfe Bronco Mendenhall has a solid history of being a jerk.

(and just in case it gets deleted, it says "If you're going to be a religious school w/ a football team full of thugs, you have to be willing to accept the backlash. #BYU #ThugMormons"

From a radio host, wow. Hope he gets backlash.

BYUHawk

9/2/15 8:21am

Yeah and he has over 11k followers.

not me.

So...is he going to back this up with anything?

Criddle needs to get this guy on the air today

9/2/15 8:29am

Transparent effort to stir things up and get people talking about him and

dilbert

9/2/15 8:32am

^This. Nothing to see here people, don't give him the satisfaction.

joelvandyne

Nothing more. Begin outrage posts in 3,2,1

Whoa - Bronco is a jerk, what did this guy have to say about Bo Pelini!?! LOL

Avery

9/2/15 8:33am

Well someone's gotta do something to get this thing heated up. The average Husk

mantis mutu

9/2/15 8:34am

Apart from the use of the word "thugs" he's not wrong. If we claim to follow

byutx

9/2/15 8:34am

He also tweeted bronco has a long history of being a jerk

thebruce

9/2/15 8:35am

Definitely uncalled for. BM is many things but a jerk isn't one of them (other

byutx

9/2/15 8:41am

Just because BYU holds themselves to a higher standard doesn't mean that

9/2/15 8:42am

Of course. But what it does mean is when our kids screw up we get more crap for

byutx

9/2/15 9:01am

Other than Nacua, who screwed up there? You can't seriously expect guys not to

Still Open

9/2/15 9:06am

Langi did too. But the point that backlash will be greater for BYU still stands

byutx

9/2/15 9:07am

Also Tejan, one of my favorite players, has a mean streak and has taken cheap

byutx

9/2/15 9:08am

He got jumped by five guys. I would be more worried if he didn't fight back.

Still Open

9/2/15 9:10am

Not the point.

byutx

9/2/15 9:10am

Just so you know, that wasn't a punch in the Houston game...

Still Open

9/2/15 9:12am

Oh he's thrown punches-the worst was the one that didn't land. But you are all

byutx

9/2/15 9:15am

Oh there's definitely a reason guys went after him even after winning the game

RdF3

9/2/15 9:12am

He's not wrong because he's not right - he's just babbling, no specific point

Avery

9/2/15 8:44am

but he DID use the word "thugs"

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:04am

So take out that word and his point isn't wrong. If our players make mistakes

byutx

9/2/15 9:05am

rue, but you can't take it out. Funny, though, that some here were whining that

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:13am

The reason I suggested taking it out is the blind rage it is causing and a lot

byutx

9/2/15 9:16am

yeah, blind rage is pretty lame (a scourge of the era, really)

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:18am

Those tweets are blind rage (or shameless efforts to attract ratings).

Still Open

9/2/15 9:37am

and the "bronco is a known jerk" seems to be a pretty innacurate statement,

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:16am

That's not in the original tweet

byutx

9/2/15 9:26am

yeah, wasn't referring to JUST the original tweet. both were included in the OP

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:32am

That's just swell

byutx

9/2/15 9:41am

RE: That's just swell

fattycoug

9/2/15 9:48am

how are BYU's standards any different towards fighting/brawling

eyebleedblu

9/2/15 9:21am

LOL! The Davis story reminds me of that one scene from 'Straight Outta Compton'

9/2/15 8:36am

It's Boney time

Paging Boney Fuller. Dr. Boney Fuller, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

BTW, the number of pics this guy has with him and his dog make me uncomfortable.

kccougar

9/2/15 8:39am

...at least he keeps it real with his gang signs

Avery

9/2/15 8:54am

Straight outta Lincoln

JackStack

Probably more like "Straight outta South Sioux City, NE" straight GANGSTA!

You can't see it in the photo, but

The Royal Punter

9/2/15 8:57am

Suddenly, I really, REALLY want to win this game.

QUICK! Someone print that out and highlight the mean parts and put them in

Who is Lawrence Phillips?

BYUHawk

9/2/15 9:21am

Former NU running back. Was a great college player.

9/2/15 9:22am

LP was awesome. Too bad he never panned out in the pros

spugeddy24

9/2/15 9:23am

And too bad he "missed" that block that took out Steve Young

9/2/15 9:31am

RE: Who is Lawrence Phillips?

Romex

one may call him a thug that was once really good at football

fattycoug

A bit of background from Wikipedia

9/2/15 9:31am

Bravo Cougar Stats!

9/2/15 9:27am

Now he deleted the Bronco tweet. That was the more ridiculous tweet.

BYUHawk

9/2/15 9:37am

he's just regurgitating some conversation he had with a utah media member and

Ft Worth Cougar

9/2/15 9:42am

He must have been talking to the guy in the suspenders

BYUBandfan

9/2/15 10:03am

Agreed. I don't particularly like him as our coach but he's not a jerk at all

byutx

9/2/15 9:42am

His tweet waving the white flag...

Jomo

9/2/15 10:06am

He was made to delete it? What does that mean?

9/2/15 10:44am

Mormon thugs made him do it.

vacougfan

9/2/15 10:46am

means he didn't see anything wrong with it but someone else did

fattycoug

9/2/15 10:51am

He said something about, "everybody has a boss."

Your sig is also waving a white flag.
