That is ironic. My bitterness is turning me into a Ute.

He changed the word 'academic' to 'state' because long words are hard for yewts.

If BYU wasn’t an LDS school they’d be in so which would you prefer?

You call it “winning the lottery,” I call it “luck,”

Hey - a lottery winner still has to pick the numbers and buy the ticket.

Is this a really bad troll attempt?

Frank Castiglione

Its badness is what makes it sneakily effective.

Zero evidence that you can read. That's not what I said. And I qualified it in

Maybe they would've had BYU in their top two if BYU had been a P5.

Eddie

It would have absolutely improved, but it's not like BYU was recruiting better

You're failing to account for the magic that happens when doing what's right...

Lots would put BYU in top 2 if we were a P5. Also ones that put us in top 5
