I come with good news!
In case you haven't heard, the Morons Mormons of BYU suffered a crushing blow today, as their #7 in the country-ranked football team was humiliated 54-28 by unranked Florida State! This defeat will move them out of the top 10 and all but evaporated their national championship chance.

Isn't that a shame? Too bad there's not a single thing the right wing fundamentalist christian conservatives can do about it, although I'm sure the LDS Church is trying to figure out a way to come up with a ballot initiative in California or something. :rofl:

1. That must mean that former #8, Berkeley -- from the *San Francisco Bay Area*
--will be ranked much higher than BYU now!

4. Yup! And since USC lost as well, they will probably jump ahead
of both of those teams into the #6 slot!!

7. I had a BYU Sports experience years ago
It involved an 'expert' coach who insisted that only he had the skills to perform a task on film. The African American actor and stuntman could not. So he put on blackface to to the task. Yes he did. He insisted.
His 'skills' put two lives in peril, sent me to the hospital, and the man never so much as apologized, he ran away before the people he harmed were returned to safety.

Blackface. This was in the 1980s. BYU expertise indeed.
