No BYU Fans?

[CK Sooner]

This sucks.

:(

[bonkuba]

Maybe they are praying for a victory? :D

[TXBOOMER]

They probably don't have time. Just think of the honey do lists these guys must have.

[Curly Bill]

Screw the BYU fans...

...though unlike some of our rival's fans they have the good sense to stay off another team's board. :O

Damn, that's the best laugh I have had in a while. And right in the middle of a crappy week. Thank you.

BYU Penguin should be along any day now.

[ouduckhunter]

There's a guy on the local ESPN radio sports call in show who is a BYU alum and former player. I heard him say today that he would probably go to the game...guess that I could call in and sing Boomer Sooner and see if I can get him all riled up.

[OU_PhD]

They probably got their sacred undergarments in a bunch LOL

All the BYU fans shifted their loyalty to Utah last year.

Either that, or they are wondering how Christ could possibly benefit from them taunting us.

I doubt that they would do that (root for the Utes) - it a big rivalry.

Besides, BYU has a National Championship. That was back when there was no such thing as a non-BCS teams and WAC teams could be considered for a voted title by beating a .500 team in the Holiday Bowl - especially if they had a player like Steve Young.

With four wives you'd have to have a double wide refigerator just to handle the lists.

[jumperstop]

I really am suprised there are no BYU fans. Have any of you guys been over to check out thier board? Do they even have one?

[jumperstop]

They have to have a football board, I have at&t largest tv package and I have a BYU channel. Thats like wtf, why is there no sooner channel.

[SoonerCoug]

They have to have a football board, I have at&t largest tv package and I have a BYU channel. Thats like wtf, why is there no sooner channel.

I think people will be surprised by the number of BYU fans at the game. While BYU fans will be vastly outnumbered, I'm certain that BYU will have at least 20 thousand fans in attendance.

There are several very busy BYU sports message boards, and there have been frequent links to this board referencing some of the posts here (especially posts that exhibit anti-Mormon sentiment). I'm a secular Mormon--graduated from BYU undergrad but did PhD and MD at OU. I'd be glad to talk about our football team if any of you have questions. Very few BYU fans expect BYU to actually win this game, but we have some excellent players at skill positions and are hopeful that we can keep the score within a touchdown or two. I'm sure you folks will even up the series in Dallas.

[Gresho Murford]

i would guess they have 10-15 thousand

[SoonerCoug]

BYU had 15,000 fans in Fort Worth against TCU in 2006 for a regular conference game. Do you really think OU and a new stadium won't attract more BYU fans than TCU?

[OU_PhD]

Hopefully they let the football team know that the guys they're lining up against are wearing panties... no, really.

:P

Really? Not saying you are lying but they must travel really well then. So you think they will only have 5,000 more for OU at a new stadium than they did for TCU?

I will have to see it to believe it. I have heard too many times a fan say they are going to have X amount of fans in Norman and they have maybe half that

First of all, Mormons don't wear their garments when they play sports.

I agree that it's a silly that Mormons have their own underwear, but it's mostly just a cultural thing. It's a tradition. Of course, if you were mocking a Jewish prayer shawl you'd be a bigot, but for some reason most Oklahomans think it's acceptable to mock Mormons--the only religious group in America to have had an extermination order against them (issued by Governor Boggs of Missouri in the 1830s).

Ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to hate.

first off, this is a football forum. There is going to be trash talked about ANY opponent. Mormons are easy targets. It is just for ****s and giggles.

You claim to be a Sooner yet you seem to have no idea what the Nose Bowl was. I don't consider them to be a "religious" group, to me they're an occult but that's neither here nor there. I have a problem with the young boys that are pushed off out of homes because there are too many boys around and not enough girls for all the men. It's sickening. You going to defend that "cultural" phenomenon too?

Just relax and get ready to watch Oklahoma blow maroni trumpets all over your "Cougs" in Arlington next week.

Better make sure you get reservations for bike parking, though, I hear it'll be hard to come by.

Mormons are "an occult." Hilarious. What's your PhD in anyway?

Mormons rejected polygamy in the 1890s. You're confusing 13 million Mormons with a crazy sect that split away from the Mormons 120 years ago. The polygamist folks think Mormons are bad for rejecting polygamy.

[Anaheim Sooner]

Arrgh. I've been stuck in the Salt Lake City area for almost a month and just found this board. The company I work for is doing some upgrades for a local plant and two of the people I have to coordinate with are BYU fans.

Believe me you are lucky that they aren't here. I don't know if these two are really representative of BYU fans but they are incredible. Both are predicting a BYU win one thinks it will be a last minute field goal and the other thinks BYU surprises OU but the Sooners make it close at the end.

Among the gems I've heard from my cougar fan friends:
They have a senior quarter back and they were good when Steve Young and others were seniors.
Their senior QB is a strong Heisman contender (Um, isn't ours too?)
They have a larger than average offensive line. (although watching reruns on their conference network they may also be the slowest in the nation)
They are the favorite to bust the BCS but it will be in the championship game not a "regular" BCS bowl
Their players are more mature than most because they go on their mormon mission

But the best of all:
The people who think BYU won't win are the same people who didn't think Utah could beat Alabama. Huh? We'll beat OU because our rival beat Alabama? That's a whole another post. While none will admit it, Utah going to the BCS drives BYU fans (at least these two) nuts.

These are just a few of the illusions the BYU fans spout at me all day. Seriously I hope some of them come here. If you need a good laugh these guys provide it. Like I said I just found this board and have invited them to join but none have taken up the offer.

By the way be glad you can watch OU football on a real TV network. Their Mountain channel seriously looks like it was shot with someone's cell phone.

See y'alll in Dallas!

You realize that virtually all true Christians save maybe Unitarians consider Mormonism to be an occult.

Joseph Smith was a snake-oil salesman who was lynched for fooling around with peoples' wives and being a thug swindler.

Are you serious? Provo is a lot further away from Arlington than Ft. Worth. There would be 20-30k TCU fans there easily.

[SoonerCoug]

Joseph Smith was shot by a mob (not lynched). He destroyed a printing press and turned himself in to face charges. The governor promised him protection and then provided none. I agree that Joseph Smith was far from perfect and the polygamy thing was ridiculous. I highly recommend the biography "Rough Stone Rolling" written by the chair of the religion department at Columbia University. Great book.

Since moving to Oklahoma and becoming acquainted with "true Christianity," I never cease to be amazed by how horribly I have been treated by people when they discover that I am a Mormon. It's some great irony.

Okay, how about bat-sh!t crazy nuttiness?

I'm not reading some pro-Mormon book. It's a contrived religion and is blasphemous to Christianity i.e. "real" Christians don't believe they're going to be God of their own planet nor do they believe in "celestial" marriages nor any of the other cockamamie crap they force down the throats of anyone who'll listen.

Big Love University is going down in Arlington, and you know it.

PS. Please don't make generalizations about all Oklahomans based on what I say. I'm just one person. I'm sure there are a few people in the state that don't mind Mormons.

[BoulderSooner79]

I'd poke fun at all religions, but it's so easy to do, there is no sport in it.

[AZSoonerCat]

BYU (and Utah by association sometimes) does generally tend to draw more ire from other teams' fans than most schools would.

I remember at one of my first games here at the UofA (during the Mackovic days) we were playing Utah at home and only minutes into the game, chants of "F&@K the Mormons!" could be heard throughout the student section and for a good part of the game.

When Wisconsin came to town the following week, a nearby student asked "are there Mormons in Wisconsin?" to which he received the reply of "I don't know, probably." Then the "F&@K the Mormons!" chants started up again.

Now, both of my parents are BYU alumni and so I have a bit of an interest in BYU football (mind you I cried tears of joy when Arizona whooped them in the Las Vegas bowl and I am certainly hoping OU delivers an epic spanking in a week and a half), and will certainly agree that many of their fans can be misguided and arrogant (my wife's own brother and cousin, both students at BYU are trying to convince me that BYU will come out on top), they are not all necessarily so. I would bet that just as many are counting on a loss and hoping that making the rest of the schedule unscathed might land them in a BCS bowl.

On the other hand, I am seeing many attempts by those on this board to bait would-be visitors using what many would consider bigoted language. This is highly unfortunate.

On a final note, BYU fans tend to travel well, simply because they can be found all over the country. There are over 100,000 Mormons in Texas alone. There will be a substantial cougar presence at that game, which should make the competitive atmosphere that all the more exciting.

Boomer Sooner!

[Anaheim Sooner]

I would bet that just as many are counting on a loss and hoping that making the rest of the schedule unscathed might land them in a BCS bowl.


As I mentioned the ones I'm working with seriously think that if they can keep their loss under seven points they still have a shot at not just a bowl game but a national championship.

As for the whole mormon thing I have to say that none of them that I've been working with have ever brought up religion or tried to convert me. I have bummed around Salt Lake City on the weekends I haven't gone home and it's pretty much like any mid-sized town. I did tour their temple headquarters and I can say one thing. They've figured out that putting a pretty girl at the gate as a greeter gets the attention of guys like me.

Although, sometimes, it's like looking at the monkey cage at the zoo.. you want to look away but sometimes you just can't... you just have to see what stupid **** they will come up with next!

Oh.. words of advice.

1. Use lots and lots of big words. That sends them scrambling to dictionary.com.

2. Make fun of "the Posse" on here. You will get all sorts of snarky comments on that!

3. Try to convince them that their current team has some weaknesses. That will be met with people trying to convince you that this year's OU team could beat the Roman Legions at the height of their power and glory.

[OU_PhD]

I had a dear friend who is a jack-Mormon and he has tons of stuff to let ya know but the worst is that his father just died a few months ago and he left his entire estate to the mormon church to make up for back-tithes. My friend couldn't get married in the temple because his father had been behind on tithing then when his dad died, he lost his inheritance because his dad was trying to compensate. Sad!

If a man wants to leave his money to his Church, that's his choice. The Mormon Church doesn't push people to pay back tithes. It's an individual decision.

As far as your friend not being able to get married in the temple because of his father's tithing--that makes no sense. Once again, you have proven your ignorance.

There are plenty of things in Mormonism that are completely wacky. But the things you say make no sense.

Look, I'm not telling you something I made up, I'm simply repeating what my friend from Ogden, Utah told me. On top of that, he even said his father received statements from the church that showed tithe due based on his forecasted income.

And my Ph.D. is in English with an emphasis in critical theory. Why does it matter?

I was just making a joke about the sacred undergarments because I think it's funny. My drill sergeant in basic training called them panties and I still laugh when I think about their "panties" in their wall locker during inspections. Sue me.

Now I know CJ Ah You was at BYU for a little while, as was his Brother. It's too bad his brother couldn't have come to OU as well. Instead he went to Weber State.

i do too...but, someone in his family had ties to oklahoma besides CJ....junior ah you?

[soonerhubs]

Was that Josh Heupel?

You would be correct, Sir! An instructor visited with me one day as he knew my football loyalties and mentioned that had taught him once before his transfer.

[soonerhubs]

That's the rumor. Apparently the QB was a jerk. I'm not sure which one it was, but I'm glad he did it.

I'm proud to see that our little group warrants number 2. We must be doing something right.

Well fax.. somehow.. the "Posse" and Number 2 just seemed to be so.. symbiotic. :D

[CrimsonJim]

I'd rather talk about football. Your fellow Sooners are the ones who keep bringing up religion.

psssst....you're not helping matters by fanning the fire.

Now, about those football teams....

[Frozen Sooner]

Leave the religion-bashing off the Football Forum, please. Remember that your own religious beliefs probably look as silly to the next guy as his do to you.

Nope. It'd be hard for me to asset that lack of religious belief would be bashing in and of itself, or I'd be guilty of bashing just by walking down the street.

And I'll readily admit that to many theists, my lack of belief looks silly.

[Collier11]

I think it should be a new rule that anyone who brings up religion and keeps talking about it in a football thread should get banned...just sayin

[SteelClip49]

I am a Catholic who has been approached many times by the Geek Squad wannabes on bicycles who want to waste my time by discussing the so-called greatness of the Latter Day Saints...blah blah blah. My cousin, who is Methodist, was engaged to a Mormon and before the wedding...just says before, the bride-to-be's Mormon cult family traveled out to Oklahoma to stop her and she was never heard from again.

Mormons are despicable, decent at basketball but overall despicable, hateful, confused, associate JESUS CHRIST in their cult (definitely a sin), hate Catholics (Catholics are the best) and should not exist.

2009 marks the 25th anniversary of their George Orwell predicted national championship that actually happened and OU will gladly bring the hurt and send you back to the Land of Deseret.

From "Burn After Reading" Osbourne Cox played by John Malkovich says...

Osbourne Cox: I have a drinking problem? F*** you, Peck, you're a Mormon. Compared to you we ALL have a drinking problem!

i have that so blocked out that I cant tell you anything about it cept Whet's twin was watching from on high

[soonerhubs]

I watched that game a couple years ago. The only part that stood out to me was Smellsofbourbon chomping at the bit to "save the program".

It really is a shame this series has only had one game so far.

[CrimsonJim]

I made a NEW one. Maybe we can stay on topic there. I've got my toes crossed, any how. :O

You guys could **** up a wet dream. If you're gonna talk BYU football, let's talk football. If you wanna talk Mormon smack, take it to the SO or Smack Central.

Like I said, I have only been here for a short time and have tried to go back and read as much I can. I should re-phrase... This is the greatest thread of trash talk I have personally seen unravel in front of my eyes. I like lung butter better than cheese. Just sounds more sick.

You would be correct, Sir! An instructor visited with me one day as he knew my football loyalties and mentioned that had taught him once before his transfer.

I thought he came from Snow College (a JC in Utah), looked it up and its both, first Weber, then Snow, then OU. I guess its a lot better for one's career to bounce around in Utah then go to OU rather than vice-versa (ala Tommy Grady).

[illinisooner]

Arrgh. I've been stuck in the Salt Lake City area for almost a month and just found this board. The company I work for is doing some upgrades for a local plant and two of the people I have to coordinate with are BYU fans.

Believe me you are lucky that they aren't here. I don't know if these two are really representative of BYU fans but they are incredible. Both are predicting a BYU win one thinks it will be a last minute field goal and the other thinks BYU surprises OU but the Sooners make it close at the end.

Among the gems I've heard from my cougar fan friends:
They have a senior quarter back and they were good when Steve Young and others were seniors.
Their senior QB is a strong Heisman contender (Um, isn't ours too?)
They have a larger than average offensive line. (although watching reruns on their conference network they may also be the slowest in the nation)
They are the favorite to bust the BCS but it will be in the championship game not a "regular" BCS bowl
Their players are more mature than most because they go on their mormon mission

But the best of all:
The people who think BYU won't win are the same people who didn't think Utah could beat Alabama. Huh? We'll beat OU because our rival beat Alabama? That's a whole another post. While none will admit it, Utah going to the BCS drives BYU fans (at least these two) nuts.

These are just a few of the illusions the BYU fans spout at me all day. Seriously I hope some of them come here. If you need a good laugh these guys provide it. Like I said I just found this board and have invited them to join but none have taken up the offer.

By the way be glad you can watch OU football on a real TV network. Their Mountain channel seriously looks like it was shot with someone's cell phone.

See y'alll in Dallas!

I don't really think the "Utah beat Alabama" argument holds much weight. Bama was supremely disappointed after giving up a lead in the 4th quarter of the SEC title game and therefore missing out on the national title game. Obviously, there was some letdown and lack of focus leading up to the Sugar Bowl against, in their mind, a non marquee opponent. The Utes were happier than a pig in you know what to be in a BCS game against a real opponent (get out of here Pitt in 04) and wanted to prove to everyone they belonged up there with a big boys for a shot at the national title. On a smaller scale, this describes the Ole Miss/Tech game. Bowls are not necessarily indicative of conference success and team merit, but there's no better comparison out there, which is why people use it.

They have Billions in the Bank.... Its actually has thrown up red flags, making the Gov think they should start taxing religions!

Can somebody please dig up the golden tablets!! Who puts the only proof god spoke to you directly in a hole and forgets where the hole is!!

Heupel was trying to get noticed by BYU. That's why he went to Weber State and Snow. BYU didn't want him. (Huge mistake by BYU, obviously.)

Get the story right. An angel took the plates back so that it would remain a matter of faith. Silly, isn't it. But that's not the point.

In reality, Mormonism is not much crazier than any other religion. Mormonism has its share of fanatics, but most Mormons are good, kind, hard-working people. They also don't believe that non-Mormons (or non-Christians) are headed for hell. While I don't really consider myself to be a person of faith, I admire how Mormons tend to relate to other religions with respect. I have never heard a harsh word about another religion in a Mormon Church meeting.

[SoonerCoug]

They probably don't have time. Just think of the honey do lists these guys must have.

Well, you take the good with the bad. While you are out busting your hump buying flowers and taking your wife out to dinner in order to get some play once every two weeks, I am hitting it with 4 different women each week. Bonus points for me is that as I get older the new wives will just get younger.

What year did the Mormon church decide to allow black people into the "priesthood"?

The temple?

The BYU football team?

I'd be really curious to hear your answers to those questions, if you happen to know them (I doubt you do).

The Mormon Church did not allow blacks to have the priesthood until 1978. In my opinion, it was a shameful, racist policy. I would disavow any affiliation with Mormonism if this policy were still in effect. My grandmother's own brother-in-law was the one to cancel this racist policy.

The temple and the priesthood are associated with each other, so 1978 is the answer.

I'm certain that the BYU football team had African-American players prior to 1978.

Today about 5% of Mormons are of African descent.

[OU_PhD]

There have been black players playing football for the Sooners for 20 years longer than they've been allowed to worship in the mormon church. Now that's an interesting football fact!

[OU_PhD]

BYU to limp into opener vs. Oklahoma (http://www.denverpost.com/colleges/ci_13212066)

Anyone here know the "smack" that Bronco Mendenhall was flapping his gums about?

[SoonerCoug]

African-Americans have been members of the Mormon Church since the 1830s. Membership was never forbidden. They simply were not allowed into the priesthood, which was a blatantly racist policy. Women are still not allowed into the priesthood, which is a blatantly sexist policy.

Are you guys that thick, or are you just stupid? Judas H. Priest dry humping 14 frigid wives through thick petticoats guys, WTF is wrong with you? If somebody wants to open a thread about the OU/BYU football game go ahead on. If somebody wants to open a thread about who gets more virgins in heaven, and who believes what crazy crap it better be on the SO. Capice?
