Alums are dropping them off. It is what works for them.

Houston didn't get snubbed. It was lined up and somehow fell apart.

In the end, something like this is really unprecedented and there isn't room to complain. How many alumni bases would be able to pull off something like this?

BYU football loves Texas, but...

Most of the places dropped have no connection to BYU, they are not...

You're right, it's to connect and engage with the fans

I don't think your numbers in this complaint are accurate

They certainly didn't show up in time for the picture

Delaware gets 3 boxes next year, Texas 1

World of Coke in GA? (BYU Connection is no caffeinated Coke on campus...)...BTW,

SwisshQiumi

8/23/14 7:46am

So there aren't many fans there. Got it. Why does Texas have 3 boxes anyway?

macaroni

8/23/14 7:58am

because they were targeting Houston, DFW and Austin

BlackBart

Man, these Texas guys are crying the most over this thing.

The whining really is bigger in Texas.

So embarrassing. It's a dark day in Texas.

Doesn't make sense to drop the box at a location where several

It's usually a local alum who makes the drop.

That's splitting hairs. The point is that it isn't BYU marketing directly

Indiana got snubbed too

Where did you live before you moved to TX?

Right, because the Bean in Chicago lies at the very heart of BYU tradition.

HeismanTy

8/23/14 7:20am

Also, DFW has 4x the number of BYU fans as Houston.

Supercoug

8/23/14 7:26am

That's not accurate.

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:03am

You think it's closer to 5x? I am prone to underestimating.

Supercoug

8/23/14 9:08am

Let's compare DFW support for bowl game vs Tulsa and UofH game...

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:16am

Come again? Tulsa???

Supercoug

8/23/14 9:29am

I was at both. And I am North of Austin.

BarraCouga

8/23/14 9:35am

Right back at ya. I was at OU and all home TCU games post-2005

BlackBart

8/23/14 9:53am

I thought you were talking about 2007.

Supercoug

8/23/14 10:24am

Either way, still doesn't help your original response.

Supercoug

8/23/14 10:24am

Sure it does. I guess you weren't there. Local support stunk - at a bowl game.

BlackBart

8/23/14 10:51am

Well, following your previous argument most of the fans at previous games came

carlstud

8/23/14 4:10pm

ahhh...so totally disregard the lack of support local to the bowl, interesting..

BlackBart

8/23/14 4:28pm

This is your argument. Your arguing that

carlstud

8/23/14 4:32pm

No, my argument is that locally held games are a manifestation/indicator

BlackBart

My original post was trolling the OP. I thought that was obvious.

Lived extensively in both areas.

Someone guessed wrong and didn't get a box?

Hey, mr. Whiney, did you see a DC box? We easily have many more

You never know, you could be getting the box today.

See.

akmewg

Not DC

macaroni

One dropped at the Lincoln memorial, the other at the pentagon (maybe not

akmewg

True. But the pentagon is in VA. Huge mormons population here, too.
