BYU I Bleed Blue

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!

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

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

try me
Turd Ferguson

I thought I did. There was a question.
Mathew

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

Any BYU player has earned the right, Turd. Matter of fact
Mathew
2/21/19 12:19pm
Lol, ok
Turd Ferguson

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

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"

2/21/19 10:22am
I attended Johns Hopkins and never once heard it referred to as "Johns."

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

BYU I Bleed Blue

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

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.

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