RE: Questions for all my non-Polynesian brothers
1-What is your perspective on Samoan, Tongan, and Hawaiian athletes (especially football players)?In general, they all seem to have great size, speed, and a lot of heart. I love their presence on the team, as they seem to bring a real family atmosphere (I've never seen people with so many cousins!) and I love their great emotion.

2-Do you guys know which ones (NFL, college football, recruits,...)are Tongan, Samoan, or Hawaiian?I have to admit, I could not tell you which ones are which

3-Do you actually think that either race produces better athletes?nope - at least, I don't know

4-Would you prefer to have athletes from one group over the other(s)on the Ys roster?love 'em all!

5-Do you just lump them all (Hawaiians, Tongans, and Samoans) into one group ("Polynesians") and say that they are the same people regardless? I realize that they are different, and come from different cultures, but I suppose that most of don't know what those difference are, and thus you here the word 'Polys' used alot for all of the different islanders

6-Do you know which players on BYU's roster are Samoan, Tongan, or Hawaiian?I wish I did, but I don't

7-Or, do you simply not care (I'm assuming most of you will identify with this)?we probably should

o you feel that this post is appropriate in this forum?sure, the Polynesian players are BYU have been a HUGE part of the program and its success over the years. I think it is totally valid

9- And finally, will you ignore this post all together because you think it's stupid?I just want to know where to get the best Pig in Utah County!
