The University of Utah is about 36% Mormon, and Utah State University is about 70% Mormon.



Boise State is 30% mormon.

I would imagine 30 years ago these schools were even more Mormon before Utah and Idaho became so popular.

They were when Catholics felt repressed and looked down upon (mostly Irish Catholics).....so ND fans weren't roooting for the school or the State ( 90% of fans lived outside of Indiana)....that's why they were called America's Team as the only Nationwide team.... But that was a long-time ago.



Now there's obviously quite a few teams that have a National following.

Since it’s rumored that St. Peter is a Notre Dame fan, it’s probably in their best interest if they are Notre Dame fans….. he guards the Pearly Gates after all……

One of my coworkers is a big Notre Dame guy and a Catholic. He explained that major college football has only two Catholic schools, Notre Dame and Boston College. Boston College is/was rarely on the tube, so Notre Dame it is.

He also said Notre Dame doesn't hide or evade its Catholicism and it promotes it. Apparently, Georgetown did something for one of former President Obama's speeches at the campus that really pissed off hard core Catholics.

The largest amount of them are probably Franciscan.

Then they truly don't care about football....are you talking about folks that support Franciscan University in OH?


I've never met one that wasn't a damn fine human being.

My wife is Mormon


Need to hear more about this

Have you asked her why she’s part of a cult that worships a 14 year old boy that was tripping balls less than 200 years and saw visions and created a religion with ridiculous rules?

I know a Mormon baw and he’s a Utah fan but he went to Utah. I’ve gathered the more hardcore Mormons are BYU and the less serious ones are Utah.

Yes from my experience. Boise State and the other rural schools also have a lot of Mormon support but most of the Mormon guys that I worked either went to BYU or their kids attended.

So 100% of people who support Franciscan University are damn fine human beings? Why are we refusing to be accurate here? See how this game works?

Except I said I was not talking about people who support Franciscan University (I don't even know any) but rather all the Franciscan Catholics I know. You just spent your NYE being pissed off about an offhand message board comment from a stranger. Quit being an angry e-stalker, and learn to read.
