I think BYU fans that grew up around Baptists are more likely to agree with you.

Many don’t like Mormons. Same with Baptists. Same with JWs. Same with lots of

Why would you ever make any decisions based on views of a few opposing fans

Baptists are vocally anti-mormon and proactively antagonistic towards our

Actually yes, I served a mission in the South

That's what I like to hear.

Glad. I've interacted with some great baptists folk as well. I think what makes

Ya that’s probably true. The most anti were definitely church leaders

Good point.

And yet you would be thrilled to play CAL or Stanford

akamai

11/11/19 12:29pm

Eh. I could do without playing them either, honestly.

BlueVU

11/11/19 12:39pm

Then who do you want to play?

akamai

11/11/19 12:40pm

You absolutely make a good point. All fanbases have fans that will have negative

BlueVU

Could not agree more

akamai

Another good point.

The "not the same God" theory is so stupid. Why can't you say LDS people

Mister P

11/11/19 12:34pm

Someone who didn’t want to be associated with LDS in any way.

PHXSUNS31

11/11/19 12:48pm

that is a good analogy though. i'd buy it 😉

It's the same line of thinking that generated and defended the Nicean Creed in the first place.

Take it up with the 10 commandments: it makes it sound that way also

Thou shalt have no OTHER gods before me

who does that?

I'll reserve judgement on them until 2022, when we play at their house and see how they treat us.

What a small and petty God that would be. . .

Wait, it isn't the LDS that tweeted it was blasphemous?

TomPetty

I do not agree, I do not think we should be whiny snowflakes...

CoachSpeak

11/11/19 1:17pm

Apparently I was wrong. I didn't think Liberty had a prayer against BYU

fan_byu

11/11/19 1:20pm

You realize that is exactly the type of attitude that appears to be keeping BYU

As a fellow independent, faith-based school we should play them regularly

In fairness, they reciprocated the Christian charity by dropping the last pass on purpose

I really don't want to know what kind of business you're in.

EVERY opponent we schedule has ignorant, anti-LDS fans. Every single opponent.

I'm in favor of BYU starting an annual rivalry with Liberty.

KL2BYU

11/11/19 2:59pm

A 2 for 1 annual rivalry could be ok

Backcountry

No school in in the Country gives BYU a 2 for 1 anymore....
