Traveler Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 The University of Utah was the university founded by Brigham Young. But I am not sure that as a university the goals of the University of Utah have remained 100 % true to its founder. You are welcome to base you faith on what you believe is eternal, but to me you view seems temporary and will likely change in a few years.

Snow Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 By the fruits of their labor ye shall know them my friend, by their fruits ye shall know them. Btw and for that matter, the Church's stance on blacks and the priesthood haven't remained true to BYs goals either that didn't stop BYU from fielding a racially diverse team last night. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness! And, yes, the pendulum swings---I wonder if anybody seriously thinks God cares who wins football games?However, mine gives a slight preference to Arizona State--He loves them Sun Devils!

After there last recruiting, they sure need it:   When the school announced the signing of 21 high school seniors and junior college transfers last February, coaches raved about the skill and speed of those incoming athletes and it appeared to be a class filled with promise.   Now, the Cougars are trying to fill a huge void.   Some six months after national letter-of-intent day, six of those players were connected to an alleged crime. Four of them — Karland Bennett, B.J. Mathis, Ibrahim Rashada and William Turner — were eventually indicted on felony charges in connection with an alleged aggravated sexual assault. They have since left school. Two more players who were also connected with the alleged incident, Antwaun Harris and Billy Skinner, transferred this past month.   Another recruit, Greg Lovely, also transferred recently, though he wasn't connected with the alleged crime.   The mass exodus has created a daunting challenge for the BYU football program.   "You're actually losing two recruiting classes," explained recruiting coordinator Paul Tidwell. "You have to fill in this year because you lost guys who you were counting on that you signed last year that are no longer here. It leaves a hole."

Blessed Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 One thing about sports is that more people tend to get really excited with it... pack in the stadiums and gather together than they do for church and to get excited about the greatest gift in history... Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
