God: BYU's #1 fan

Lauren e-mailed me a hilarious link to some guy's comment about the BYU football team the other day. Here's just a portion of his remarks.
BYU carries the name of the Church where ever it goes, if the players live good lives and they work hard they will be blessed and yes those blessing can include winning football games. Why wouldn't the Lord care? Of course he cares, he cares about everything we do and all the aspects of our lives, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:3 Have any of you wondered why we are having success, it's because Bronco's got his priorities straight #1 Spirit, remember God and do his will #2 Tradition, remember what is to be a member of this fraternity, this band of brothers and live up to the expectation. Keep the traditional alive through your actions now. #3 Honor, Honor God, your teammates and the community by doing what’s expected, live worthy, do your duty, and keep your promises.
So did God call the excessive celebration penalty against Washington last week? Or maybe cast a spirit of confusion on the Washington special teams unit to allow BYU to go in there untouched to block the kick? God is really making this team successful by allowing them to beat a Div-IAA team and barely win against the worst pac-10 team.

And in case you were wondering why there are rules in football, Coach Bronco explains: "We do have the rules for a reason. They are to teach principles of class and integrity." Apparently these rules are so important to him that he has explained them clearly to all his players. Which is why BYU offensive lineman Travis Bright is quoted as saying, "I didn't know the rule."

But as for real football news, Fresno has their big game tonight against Wisconsin at 10:30 ET on the deuce. It's the first time a Big 10 school dares to come to Bulldog Stadium (even though they reportedly offered 7 figures to Fresno to move it to a neutral site). And Fresno State is so excited they put a 25 foot tall jersey up in the middle of campus.

Kanush!!
