Not because I don't think their team is worth it. Not because I'm afraid we'll lose to them in the future. On the contrary, I really enjoyed the sportsmanship that was displayed by their team and the passion that they came in with. However, the feelings that (hopefully a very vocal minority of) their fans hold towards Mormonism is very unfortunate...

Looking at the responses to this tweet showing the two teams knelt together in a unified prayer are very unfortunate. It's one thing not to agree on religion, but to call the prayer "disastrous and blasphemous", and saying that we have a "different god" is what we in the business like to call a "dick move".
I would be completely unhinged if I ever heard a BYU fan say anything like that about Catholicism or baptism after we played Notre Dame or Baylor...
