BYU fan checking in to de-bunk Zamoro10 info
Posted by JoeMoor on 9/9/14 at 1:44 am8217
I'm new here, first post in fact. Someone on the main BYU message board posted a link to one of the threads discussing the Cougars in light of our Texas beatdown, subsequent debut in the polls and mention in early chatter about the CFB playoff picture.
I have enjoyed most of your comments - with the exception of Zamoro10 who has been feeding you all a bunch of lies and nonsense BYU fans are well accustomed to from those who choose to go the religious bigotry route.
First, the EASY correction. He states BYU is 0-3 versus Boise. FACT: we CRUSHED the Broncos 37-20 last year in Provo in a game that was even more lopsided until we started subbing in on defense in the second half. We are, in fact, 1-2 vs BSU.
His assertion that the PAC12 passed on us because they perceive us as NOT being a research school is partially correct, though not provable because the PAC12 Presidents have never and could never go on record with something like that. There would be too much political backlash. So they used the "good fit" metaphor.
BYU might not be a research institution, but Zamoro10's assertion that nothing of substance happens at BYU except ancient scripture study and examining the teachings of former LDS (Mormon) leaders Joseph Smith and Brigham Young (WHO, by the way, was ALSO the founder of the University of Utah, before BYU. Interesting how the PAC12 overlooked that little tidbit, isn't it?) is just plain ludicrous.
BYU's MBA program is usually ranked in the Top 5-10 programs in the nation. It's Law School comes in between 25-40. The broadcast program is one of the Top 5 nationally, as is the advertising department, which created the Allstate Mayhem and Doritos Superbowl ad campaigns.
I could go on & on with BYU's academic resume, but this IS supposed to be a football discussion board. I simply wanted TigerNation to hear facts and not nonsense from someone who obviously has a personal ax to grind with BYU and/or the Mormon church.
Thoughts about BYU football. We are excited to be back in the national discussion since our glory days under legendary coach LaVell Edwards when we won the 1984 National Championship, a Heisman Trophy and a Doak Walker Award, 2 Lombardi Awards, and fielded dozens of All Americans including a couple of Superbowl winning QBs named McMahon & Young.
Is our schedule watered down this year? Absolutely, but it is what it is, just like it was in 1984, and we will play the hand we have been dealt schedule-wise and let the chips fall where they may at the end of the season. We are pretty pleased about crushing Texas for the second straight year. We are 3-1 against them and 2-0 against Oklahoma, so maybe they wouldn't want to see us every year in the BIG XII? Just sayin.
We would LOVE a chance to get down to SEC country more often and play you guys. It would be a terrific barometer for our program. We have only played 'Bama, Ole Miss, MSU, Missouri, A&M and Georgia and would like to expand that list of SEC opponents.
Have a great season. As one who personally loathes Alabama, let me just say GEAUX TIGERS...LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULEZ!!!

Good read.
It is common knowledge on this site that zamoro10 is a sack of shite.

I'm almost positive he used to be known as LSUTangerine, so don't feel alone in being hated. If that is true, than he used to pop up in any thread where something negative about LSU was posted.
He seems in any case to be a Pac 12 homer who seems to root for USC primarily, and mebbe Oregon as well. He's all over the place with his allegiance...his loyalty seems to blow with the prevailing winds.
In other words, a prototypical band wagon fan with no connection to any of the schools he appears to root for at any given moment.
He is not typical of the vast majority of fans on this site.
Good luck to both you and your school, and I hope you continue to hang around what is, IMHO, the best sports-related website around.

Then you're an idiot...because he used to post back in the day when I was posting...and apparently long before I posted.
But everyone according to you - who isn't an LSU homer - is Tangerine or Ducks Fly in the Pac, or any other moniker that doesn't suck up to you.
So many newbies on here.
This thread is hilarious. Mormons out in full force...just bolsters my point. No real university wants this cult agenda with jimmies rustled so easily for speaking the truth and reality as the Pac-12 has said many, many times.
My post was why the Pac-12 will never ever ever take BYU - and that is fact.
Next we will hear anti-South Park posts.

Nobody who uses the term "jimmies rustled" will ever be taken seriously

You spent most of it complaining that BYU was a gigantic excercise in groupthink, that it wasn't a research university, and that all of its professors only studied Mormonism. All of these assertions were proven wrong by me. You then threw a tantrum about how the thread was just football-related and then left the thread.
tl;dr: Melt more
