If it comes to BYU being in vs. out, they'll pick up the phone, call Tom Holmoe, call the AD at Washington and get the scoop directly from the horses mouth.

What some sports reporter from Seattle has to say isn't going to have an impact. What the Twitter mob has to say is going to have even less impact. And having Tom Holmoe put together a communication that sounds like a whiny little female dog isn't going to impress them in the other direction either. It just isn't.
