yelled “BYU sucks!” as I walked by. I ignored em because I figured their lives must be hard enough as is, what with being Ute fans and all.

But I guess I’m probably lying, too?

No, I wrote exactly what I meant to. Are you accusing me of lying?

You’re consistent. And you’ve been your version of “friendly” throughout this thread 👍🏻

I believe people say things, but not to the extent mentioned here.
