...for a loss is accepted. You take the lumps and go to the next battle. But many coaches will say BYU has an unfair advantage. I am not sure how when half of BYU's team are married, many have children and to hear Dana Holgerson's excuse, some are collecting pensions I guess. But, the real secret is in the mission experience for football and basketball players.

They apparently spend two years in foreign countries studying the Book of Mormon that contains the following:

NEPHI
NEPHI II
JACOB
EDWARDS I
EDWARDS II
DAU OF CHOW
WORDS OF CROWTON

Some feel this book is apocryphal, but who can ever forget 2001?

LIFTING for MORONI
SLAYING THE GADIUTAHNS
ALMA THE TACKLE
HELAMAN TO HBACK
PITTA THE TE
NEPHI III
MICHIGAN THE APOSTACY
LSU THE APOSTACY II
WISCONSIN APOSTACY III AND THE REDEMPTION
ETHER THE RESTFUL POST GAME SLEEP
MORMON THE DESTROYER, A LB JOURNEY
MORONI HOW TO CATCH A PASS
SEALED BOOK OF JEFF GRIMES SPECIAL PLAYS

FRANK ARNOLD,'S WISDOM OF JOHN WOODEN
THE BOOK OF ROSE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE POPE
LOOKING GOOD IN ROYAL BLUE

Although that last book is scripture for sisters playing volleyball and basketball. The special verses for track and cross country athletes is uplifting...

Oh thou of frail appearance, emaciated and stretched, that thou could'st eat of the fruit and drink of the cow daily at the early light until the suns last rays, thou wilt still look wilted oh wilty one. That seven track athletes come forth from the river Jarom Jordon near Lehi, appearing skinny and vile, yet they eat themselves seven offensive lineman and are yet hungerd and of thirst, does this not mean seven years of plenty and seven of without soy and whey energy drinks?

Yeah, that's what missionaries do, opposing coaches are absolutely certain of it.


Yes that is what they believe.
