LifelongAP Walk-on

they're home to play basketball. Simple as that. Move along everyone.
That clearly doesn't indicate at all BYU "called him home", but if it's the kids decision to stay home and play then so be it.

Utah state fans taking cheap shots.

So we are still the self-righteous ones, right?

Apparently it hasn't occurred to them that if basketball was so important...

If God called him to play for BYU, who am I to judge?

Aggie's are especially touchy about missions because of this recurring problem.

I'm not a fan of USU, but let's not be snowflakes here.

OpusX

They are asserting that BYU plucks players from the field whenever it is

SUAVO

3/29/17 6:32pm

It's not a documentary, it's Twitter. It's a shot, but not a cheap shot.

OpusX

3/29/17 6:34pm

? What makes it cheap is the shot towards a defenseless person/thing (BYU).

SUAVO

3/29/17 6:49pm

It is a low blow. BYU had nothing to do with him leaving the field early.

ImuaKahuku

3/29/17 6:53pm

The guy who posted that doesn't believe BYU made an effort to get Zach back...

OpusX

3/29/17 7:16pm

It is what it is. A low blow that is a shot at the missionary program

ImuaKahuku

3/29/17 7:48pm

I guess "discussion" = "hit a nerve"

SUAVO

3/29/17 8:09pm

You're flat out wrong. It most definitely is a

SaintGeorgeYFan

3/29/17 7:40pm

You'd be tweeting the same things at Aggie sports writers/voices if an Aggie were sent home early?

mulletino

3/29/17 6:34pm

No. And I honestly doubt any of anybody on here would even if it is cb.

abyunobody

3/29/17 7:34pm

Apparently OpusX does this all the time

vegas guey

I'm not defending anything passionately. I honestly don't care.

OpusX

3/29/17 8:19pm

Define "worked up"

SUAVO

3/29/17 8:28pm

They were cheap in that they insinuated that.BYU called them back home.

ByuMba90

3/29/17 6:35pm

I have nothing better to do with my time than tweet about who came home early

crazY

3/29/17 6:47pm

That would mean we actually care about USU

WJCougar

3/29/17 6:53pm

I'm not glad they had to come home early, but many on here would absolutely be saying this stuff if it was the Utes

SingleStrapBackpack

3/29/17 7:23pm

Many? Or maybe one or two. And Utah is not affiliated with the church 🍎 and

ImuaKahuku

3/29/17 7:51pm

There are plenty of RMs at Utah and yes, far more than one or two CBers would be singing this same tune

SingleStrapBackpack

3/29/17 10:33pm

I don't think so. Utah is not LDS run. The implication in this tweet is that

ImuaKahuku

3/30/17 9:54pm

no we wouldn't. most of us barely know who any Aggie players are.

yahtzee

3/29/17 10:16pm

You forgot Nick Emery.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/30/17 12:44am

Ya, BYU encourages them to go on missions and then tells them to come home.

SUAVO

3/29/17 6:27pm

BYU: "Go become emaciated in Panama for 12-18 months. We'll come calling if we need you asap in horrible shape."

mulletino

Weed in Cache county is top shelf- Mika & Childs scored 998 pts- 100 3 pointers

monsterdave

3/29/17 6:36pm

Go easy on them; the life of a USU fan is extremely depressing.

matthodge

3/29/17 6:55pm

Can't wait to poach any decent RMs they have in 2018. Love you Aggies. Great farm team.

Turnpike Lane

3/29/17 7:17pm

But pleeeeez, don't give us anymore QB's

icecougar

3/29/17 7:52pm

Yeah because watching Heaps was way more fun!

Bluedarts

3/29/17 9:25pm

Someone needs to remind him that we make the rules.

TechStateCougsFan

3/29/17 7:43pm

Probably not related to him coming home, but

Byu_1988

3/29/17 7:50pm

Sorry, but I'm calling BS

JKLCoug

3/29/17 8:15pm

I call DOUBLE BS!

tander123

3/29/17 8:30pm

can we say BCS without the 'C' on this board? Fetch, that's so edgy!

Blue streak

3/30/17 10:36am

probably the fastest way to get fired as a coach from BYU.... you think the BOT would put up with that????

HarlemCoug

3/29/17 8:53pm

Aggie Andee is that you? MoooOOOOOooooo!

Bluedarts

3/29/17 9:26pm

If somebody is medically unable to serve but can manage playing D1 basketball,

LifelongAP

3/30/17 1:43pm

ridiculous comment. it's not like the season starts tomorrow. He's got months and

HarlemCoug

3/30/17 1:49pm

So he'd be home too long recovering to go back out?

LifelongAP

3/31/17 10:48am

That's what I am assuming as well. Not sure how many D1 athletes can't handle

Blue streak

3/30/17 3:11pm

It was his calling. Next part of his mission. Kind of like Steve Young's mission.

RSLCoug

3/29/17 7:52pm

Cheap shot or not, is it not fair to ask why

neboutefan

3/29/17 8:41pm

It is never fair to ask why someone is medically unable to continue a mission

Nathanael Greene

3/29/17 8:48pm

I disagree. Asking why someone was sent home for

neboutefan

3/29/17 9:19pm

All of his personal life should be MYOB.

RSLCoug

3/29/17 9:25pm

Just sounds like you're on a buzz hunt to me.

Bluedarts

3/29/17 9:28pm

Buzz hunt?

neboutefan

3/29/17 9:36pm

It means you are a Ute on a BYU board asking about...

WJCougar

3/29/17 9:38pm

I've said nothing about faking a medical condition.

neboutefan

3/29/17 9:48pm

So what are you saying then?

BYU '80

3/29/17 11:44pm

He doesn't really know obviously.

WJCougar

3/30/17 11:49am

I'm saying exactly what Blue streak is saying in the post below, which is the

neboutefan

3/30/17 11:54am

Haven't seen many byu fans ask as a proportion of all those on here

BYU '80

3/30/17 11:06pm

No. A kid coming home early is MYOB no matter what.

CMuehle

3/29/17 9:49pm

That's fair, of course there are also plenty of BYU fans

neboutefan

3/29/17 9:56pm

Sure there are a few but Utes and aggies engaged in this conversation

BYU '80

3/29/17 11:45pm

Who cares? It's his life.

RSLCoug

3/29/17 9:18pm

why? so you can judge him? typical self righteous ute

Dude, missions aren't mandatory. He never had to leave to begin with.

Machiavelli

No.

kccougar

3/30/17 12:00pm

I'm having a tough time thinking of many examples of this. Nick Emery? and who else?

SpiffCoug

3/29/17 8:59pm

Toolson?

downtownchrisbrown

3/29/17 9:01pm

Lee Cummard. In football, Max Hall.

OpusX

3/29/17 9:08pm

Bad examples.

CMuehle

3/29/17 9:40pm

No athlete ever came home to help the program. To think otherwise is silly.

OpusX

3/29/17 10:01pm

Then what's his point?

CMuehle

3/29/17 10:16pm

Of course it's a jab. It's good natured smack.

OpusX

3/29/17 10:37pm

How is that good natured in any way? Dumb and entry level thinking yes

BYU '80

3/29/17 11:48pm

don't bother those aggie fans with things like facts.

yahtzee

3/29/17 10:18pm

Wasn't there one around the Demarcus Harrison thing?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/30/17 12:51am

That might have been Toolson.

OpusX

3/30/17 1:05am

So over all the years we have, what, 5 guys do this and all of the sudden it's

Bluedarts

3/29/17 9:30pm

Good thing nobody actually cares about Utah state fans

Machiavelli

3/29/17 11:31pm

Honest question: does it seem a little inconsistent that a player isn't healthy

Blue streak

3/30/17 10:50am

It's about rehab. It's not like he's going to start playing basketball...

OpusX

3/30/17 11:01am

And my mission was hard enough. I can't imagine having done it with a physical ailment.

RdF3

3/30/17 12:18pm

Agree - now try playing D1 basketball with that ailment. That's the confusion.

Blue streak

3/30/17 3:08pm

There's no confusion. None.

mulletino

3/30/17 6:53pm

Yes. Yes it is.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/30/17 3:41pm

I'd say, "Nice having the Supreme Being of the Universe on your side, isn't it."

Marking Time

3/30/17 12:38pm

It is nice, for all of us, Cougs, Utes, Aggies, and everyone else.

neboutefan

3/30/17 1:36pm

I don't fault any kid for coming home early, whatever the reason...

OpusX

3/30/17 3:20pm

This is exactly right. We shouldn't fault any kid for NOT going on mission.

Blue streak

3/30/17 3:26pm

I agree. The stigma in the church can be unbearable to some.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/30/17 3:48pm

Our mission scout royally messed up with Dastrup. Should have brought him 18
