So if you're both a Mormon and a BYU fan, do you still cheer for a guy like Kruger, or not?

How about Travis Bright with the Dallas Cowboys? I know that he was just on the practice squad, but they have Dallas Reynolds listed.

I'm pretty sure the Mormon times got it wrong on Chris Cooley. From what I've read, and seen, methinks he's not LDS.

No.

The only Ute I could ever cheer for is Weddle.

Weddle is the most supportable ute. He only did a couple of stupid :utard: things. Most of the time, he has been a gentleman and a class act.

If not, I've got something to tell my friends who are policemen and prison guards...

Yes, you can pay tithing on Sunday money. Just don't pay tithing on your crack-dealing income and you'll be good.

Most LDS cops aren't righteous enough to pay tithing anyways... :D

It's great to see those BYU LDS guys in the big league, but looking at the how many LDS kids didn't come out of BYU makes me wonder how things could have been had we recruited better in the past.

PS. I would NEVER cheer for a :utard: just becasue they are LDS doesn't mean they aren't idiots, I know a lot of LDS retards, your religious affiliation doesn't make you a better person, and in the case of a Ute, certainly not a person to cheer for.

Uncle Iroh, Chris Cooley was baptized in October or November 2002--I was one of the missionaries who taught him. Obviously he isn't very involved with the Church these days...

BYU can't recruit every LDS athlete. So just because they go to another school, doesn't mean they are bad or a traitor. I had several friends that badly wanted to play at BYU and never got the call. They ended up starting at schools like Kansas State, Utah, Oregon St., Arizona, and Hawaii, to name a few. Most of them did graduate and i am greatful for that because when you see where they came from you could see that the deck was stacked against them from even going to college let alone getting a degree.

I personally, go with the "represent" clause. If the represent the LDS faith well, I will cheer my butt off for them, otherwise I will just pray they see the light and learn to represent well. After all to me, being LDS is what "everything" is all about.

Kevin Curtis was just released by the Eagles a couple days ago.
