This part is great...so are some of the online comments...

"Things became a lot clearer on Thursday in a story by Matt James in the Fresno Bee.

In his story, James said that Utah State athletic director Scott Barnes, who is a Fresno State graduate, said in a letter to Aggie supporters that the buyout clause and five-year agreement was something BYU wanted … that it wanted reassurance of stability if it was going to join the WAC for all sports besides football.

BYU knew fully well that if it lost the Cougars that the MWC would attempt to go back to the WAC. In essence, it was covering its own base at the expense of the MWC.

Somehow, that just doesn’t seem to coincide with LDS beliefs and the honor code. Where is the respect and honesty in that.

BYU may preach a code of honor, but it doesn’t quite live up to it when it comes to benefitting itself.

In reality, it is no different that the rest of us."
 
Good article, and I agree... and am not surprised to see the BYU fans flooding in to defend and claim it's not hypocrisy. When I lived in Rock Springs, it was the same thing every time somebody uttered the slightest hint of criticism against LDS, no matter how valid: they were completely and utterly jumped upon by hundreds of upset Mormons who refused to see the least bit of logic.

It's seriously scary.

That is exactly what I said in a post on the MWC board a couple of days ago which resulted in me getting banned and the post and thread removed. I did use harsher language and talked about them being brainwashed into thinking anything bywho and the lds church does is perfectly ok.
 
I've found many LDS-ers to be dishonest and disrespectful BUT had convinced themselves that they were honest and respectful....and I could add more adjectives like MANIPULATIVE.
Their football program feels like a bully who wants beneficial special treatment not realising that they don't deserve benefical special treatment.
This is a coffee drinking Cougar :coffee: .
 
I actually grew up and went to school with Mormons. Granted, half of them were "Jack" Mormons, but overall, they were pretty cool people. Made pretty good friends with some of them even. Weren't cocky or anything. So far, the only LDS that I have come across that DO get on my nerves, are the BYU fans.

That doesn't suprise me. There is a good chance that mwcboard is ran by either a byu fan or a LDS member. Maybe both:
