A few of Rods comments were inexplicably stupid. I agree with that statement. The fact we are making such a
big deal about it needs to stop.

This has nothing to do with circumstances/locations of how the game was called. It has nothing to do with his arguments about BYU throwing late in the game or running a fake punt.

There are A LOT of people who don't like BYU for a myriad of reasons. There will always be A LOT of people who dislike BYU. Thats just how it is and how it always will be. No matter how successful BYU is or how many games BYU wins or how long our proud history is, A LOT of people will dislike BYU.

We will never enjoy the benefit of the doubt on close plays. We will never get all the calls to go our way even if they should. We will never get people singing our praises like they sing Alabama's or Ohio St or USC or Texas. Those teams get all of the above mentioned benefits when they are good and even when they aren't so good. THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS!

We as fans of BYU need to understand that better and stop whining when we think we deserve that treatment. We need to embrace the role of the underdog. We need to embrace and learn to utilize the hate and underhanded comments from opposing fans, opposing players and coaches and even from the "unbiased" media.

I for one have always cheered for the underdog if I don't have a team in game. I don't know if I started loving BYU as a child because we were the underdog or if I started loving the underdogs because I loved BYU. For me, when you are made fun of, joked about, looked down on, given crappy calls, and not given calls you should have been AND STILL WIN it is SOOOO much more delicious. This is the attitude I hope the teams we have at BYU have. This is the attitude I would hope the fans would have as well.
