Am I the only one that finds Seljaas having to come home from his mission sad?

He was called home for a new mission. We should be happy for him that the Lord chose to send him home.

sounds like he died

Another negative post from Gerald dEeyore??? This is so rare, I can't believe it happened again!

"Sarcastic" not negative. I'm full of both.

Don't even get him started on the moon!

Do we know the reason yet? Judging it as "sad" seems premature.

Earlier post said Surgery. If he fully recovers and plays next year, I'm happy.

I had surgery on my mission. Was flown right back within weeks.

Yes but you sucked. He is a valuable athlete who needs a lot of therapy

Big Daddy D

Yes the preservation of his shot and ability to get back are

Glad we and the Board of Trustees see eye to eye on this.

Big Daddy D

Why should it be happy or sad for CBers who don't know him?

Indy Coug

3/20/17 8:39pm

It may have to do with the fact that some people on here are fans of BYU's basketball team. Fans often are happy

Baron

You don't want anybody to have any empathy for people they don't know?

Lance71

3/20/17 8:42pm

Empathy for people you don't know is not true empathy IMHO

Archaea

3/20/17 9:38pm

Was going say something about what it means to have empathy

soupie

Sounds like you were to impart wisdom

Archaea

Empathy comes from knowing a situation, not a person

Graig Swame

Or are a compassionate enough person to imagine it.

Love when Indy Coug plays dumb.

I don't know so I am happy for BYU's basketball team.

I have empathy for the basketball team and most other basket cases.

Is he staying home after the surgery?

mudpupper

3/20/17 8:41pm

I'm sure plenty of others feel the same as you. I hope he can help our basketball team. I'm one of those

Not sure why folks are expending precious calories worrying about it

TNT

3/20/17 8:53pm

Are you whittled away to nothing that you can't spare a few?

Archaea

3/20/17 9:40pm

if worrying about senseless things burned calories, then most on CB would look like an Ethiopian from the 80s (but

Who am I to judge that he scored more than his fair share his Frosh year?

No, I find him having to come home sad as well. He'll be alright though. Those

I also hope he is able to go back. maybe no money left right now.

It's unfortunate, but I think sad is the wrong word. Sad would be if he had to

Imagine that...another BYU athlete serving a partial mission. Shocking!

LuvMyAggies

3/21/17 10:22am

wouldn't expect anything less from a low life aggie fan. Try being respectful for those trying to do the right thing

Cougarpride

It sure seems Cougar athletes have more of those "physical challenges"

I am an Aggie Fan

Well done...made me laugh.

LuvMyAggies

Typical Hollier Than Thou judgemental attitude Aggie fans are so famous for

"Hello! My name is LuvMyAggies and I'm a self-righteous jerk."

Close. Here's my version:

Well, considering you don't have a clue, STOP JUDGING.

I'm with you Lance. Wish he could go back and finish.

Why does it matter to you what he does? I'm sure he has reasons for doing what

Having had a Son return to have surgery - I know how hard he worked to get back out in the mission field

I came home early from my mission. It was for health problems, I had a really bad gut. However, I would have rather
