Ben Criddle, if you are out there, please stop! Please stop referring to BYU as

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 8:06am

But it's ok to refer to it as the Y?

jcase16byu

2/21/19 8:20am

Yep, because it is the Y! How many times have you called it Brigham?

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 9:42am

The Y-P!

Kauai

2/21/19 10:02am

There we go! I like it. The Y-P, the Y-I, and the Y-H. A lot easier.

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 10:06am

So you don't wet yourself. Y else?

Shihan

2/21/19 3:04pm

So basically it comes down to tradition for you. That's ok but nothing else

jcase16byu

2/21/19 2:26pm

If you’re going to ask Criddle, you might want to ask Van Noy too. Lol!

Mathew

2/21/19 8:27am

Van Noy can call it whatever he wants, he has earned it

Turd Ferguson

2/21/19 8:32am

Lol, so has Criddle.

Mathew

2/21/19 8:43am

He has?

Turd Ferguson

2/21/19 8:47am

Sure. Why wouldn’t he? Probably to much for a turd to understand tho

Mathew

2/21/19 8:52am

try me

Turd Ferguson

2/21/19 9:00am

I thought I did. There was a question.

Mathew

2/21/19 9:10am

oh sorry. What has he done to qualify for elevated status?

Turd Ferguson

2/21/19 11:22am

Any BYU player has earned the right, Turd. Matter of fact

Mathew

2/21/19 12:19pm

Lol, ok

Turd Ferguson

2/21/19 2:07pm

IMO he has earned it by getting ESPN 960 going, if I'm not mistaken, if it

Mic drop!

AlDiggity

Van Noy is a little bigger than Criddle...

Agaricus

2/21/19 3:02pm

Better examples are Universities named after people. IE John Brown or John Carol or Franklin Pierce. I don't think you

Rhino84

2/21/19 8:32am

I've heard Johns Hopkins referred to as "Johns",

Dissenter

2/21/19 8:39am

I would be more inclined to refer to it as "Hopkins" than "Johns"

Rhino84

2/21/19 10:22am

I attended Johns Hopkins and never once heard it referred to as "Johns."

Iman23

2/21/19 1:17pm

Never in all my years have I heard it referred to as “Johns”

SouthernCoug

2/22/19 4:26am

"I go to Johns Hopkins" "I go to Duke, how long have you been at Johns"

Dissenter

2/22/19 5:55am

Yeah. I live pretty close to Hopkins and work closely with them.

SouthernCoug

2/22/19 6:10am

you mean you live pretty close to Johns 😉

Dissenter

2/22/19 6:23am

but Brigham is a far more unique name than John is

cwilke1

2/21/19 9:38am

Thank you. That is the difference. A&M, Wazzou, etc, but they are not named

GenkiLawyer

2/21/19 2:49pm

Of all the dumb little things to get annoyed over.... Saying Brigham is fine

ReggaeCoug

2/21/19 8:38am

Just saying, so would you call George Mason or George Washington Universities

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 9:46am

No because the name George isn't as unique as Brigham. People easily associate

ReggaeCoug

2/21/19 9:55am

Really? Maybe within Church circles. Have you heard it called that before?

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 10:07am

Well does the whole nation listen to Criddle? No, just BYU fans.

ReggaeCoug

2/21/19 12:08pm

Brigham & Women’s Hospital? Another famous “Brigham.” No sports team but still.

byujdmba

2/21/19 6:09pm

But that Brigham is a last name. And the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital

SouthernCoug

About George Washington and George Mason

DCCougFan

2/21/19 5:43pm

No, GMU calls itself Mason.

Squeegee

2/22/19 8:57am

The U, The Farm, A&M, Tech, Bama, Cal, Mizzou, Ole Miss, etc. Lots of schools

Thrill

Vandy, Wazzu, The Y......

Sale

Don't forget Bevo.

Y05

2/22/19 7:23pm

I agree, but not one of those schools is the name of a person, and so its

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 9:47am

Brigham is way more unique and identifiable than "Young". Baylor is named after

Thrill

2/21/19 10:36am

Still, how many times in your life have you honestly heard it called Brigham?

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 11:43am

But why does the number of times matter? You trying to win a popularity contest?

jcase16byu

2/21/19 2:31pm

Only by a few people and it sounds silly each time.

byujdmba

2/21/19 3:59pm

The point is that nicknames can be silly, varied, and dont need to make sense

canofpicante

2/21/19 11:48am

You mean like Gonzaga, named after the young Jesuit saint Aloysius Gonzaga

viper

2/23/19 11:50am

Really? Ug.

Benfica1

2/21/19 9:21am

It’s fine

PessimisticCB

2/21/19 9:42am

Wow, what a response. I hit the motherlode! I get the nicknames, but how many

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 9:42am

I agree. It's like scratching a chalkboard every time he does it.

mccledg

2/21/19 9:53am

Thanks! It's not huge but I just think he's promoting the Brigham line and that

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 10:09am

Blame Vaughn Kimball . . .

SierraCoug

2/21/19 9:56am

Yep, I'm not sure whether he was telling Brigham (on the other side) to give

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 10:11am

I don't think he was sending a telegram to Brigham on the other side. It was clearly a reference to BYU.

SierraCoug

2/21/19 11:48am

I am pretty sure he was sending it to the Brigham football team. Or the Y, or

You guys are right. I'm going with Young from here on out. Go Young!

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 10:25am

I am glad we were able to persuade you to be more flexible and not be so uptight

cwilke1

2/21/19 11:06am

UNC is called Carolina, USC is SC, etc

BYU Grounds

2/21/19 10:59am

True, but UCLA is not CLA, and NC State is not called Carolina or Carolina State

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 12:16pm

why is UC Berkeley called Cal?

BYU Grounds

2/21/19 12:23pm

Because UC stands for University of California and UC Berkeley was the first one

ColonelMustard

2/21/19 12:55pm

Because they put "Cal" on their helmets.

Y05

2/23/19 4:03am

What's funny is I never relate uc Berkeley with cal. I always forget they

jcase16byu

2/23/19 9:39am

"NC State" is referred to as "State" by its fans all the time. I live here

pistol12

2/21/19 1:55pm

Why does Miami call themselves the "U"? It boggles my mind more than anything

Coug Man in Florida

2/21/19 3:36pm

You're just listing all the schools that don't have nicknames. That doesn't

ReggaeCoug

2/21/19 4:05pm

Brigham is a nickname. Relax.

canofpicante

2/21/19 11:35am

Thanks Can. I never thought of that on an open forum public discourse board.

BYU I Bleed Blue

2/21/19 11:46am

I’m more annoyed with his co host and how he says B.Y.U

Pretorian

2/21/19 2:06pm

There are other things he needs to stop saying before he stops saying Brigham,

andrewg3

2/21/19 2:42pm

Yeah..I agree with that one..He uses LDS lingo too much for my taste..

Adrielle

2/21/19 3:08pm

Glad someone agrees with me! Yes I like his show other than that.

andrewg3

2/21/19 10:11pm

Don't listen to him. Referring to BYU as Brigham is fine. WHO CARES

Adrielle

2/21/19 3:04pm

Where are you Criddle?

GOR

2/21/19 3:31pm

North Carolina calls themselves CAROLINA

BulldogCoug79

I have no problem with it. For instance, we can the U of U "Dahmer".

Thanks Ben! Now, when do we do the leg wrestle, or when do I need to stop by

I would love for this to happen.
