This girl is sure sick of Jimmermania and she has made her opinion known in an editorial to the Daily Universe.

By the way, she signed her name to the editorial and her Facebook page was set up such that anybody could post on it. As of 11:36pm Monday night there have been just short of 300 comments on her "just wrote another irritated letter to the editor of the BYU newspaper." status. Some of them are hilarious too.

From a Dan Hoen

One time the BYU basketball team was walking on the beach and the looked back and only saw one set of footprints!

Chris McKay

As for me and my house...we will serve Jimmer!!!

John Weymouth

You were in the War in Heaven and one day when you are in the spirit world you will be enthralled with those who you are associated with. You will ask someone in which time period he lived and you might hear, "I watched Kresimir Cosic when ...he averaged 23.3 ppg and 12.8 rpg," or "I cheered Danny Ainge as he set the career scoring and steals records and took BYU to the elite 8"

And as you are standing there in amazement, someone will turn to you and ask, "Which time did you live in?" And when you say "Jimmer Fredette," a hush will fall over every hall, every corridor in heaven and all in attendance will bow at your presence. You were held back to this special season because you were the most talented, most obedient, most courageous, and most righteous.

hey michelle while youre walking around campus carrying a toaster put a bagel in it cause you never know when The Jimmer will be hungry

Jimma Freddy

Jimmer Fredette doesn't need a TWITTER account, he is already following you.

Zach Edmonds

They once made a Jimmer toilet paper, but it wouldn't take crap from anybody

Greg Cannon

Jimmer was once on the Maury Povich show. At the end of the show Maury announced, Jimmer, you are the father of the 1972 Miami Dolphins!

Chris John

Even so faith, if it hath not Jimmer, is dead, being alone.

Jimmer Fredette can speak French... In Russian.

Nick England

"And we talk of Jimmer, we rejoice in Jimmer, we preach of Jimmer, we prophesy of Jimmer, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a crossover and deep 3."

Taylor Shumway

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to uteness.

Dan Evans

the three nephites who wished to never die only chose that so they could watch Jimmer play

Greg Cannon

Someday 9th East will be named after Jimmer. Students living east of that street will be out of luck because nobody crosses Jimmer and lives.

Watching too much Jimmer causes obesity, ask Rick Majerus

Ah it's a wonderful world which we live in and while she has a right to speak, I hope she felt better after she vented, because she isn't going to get any satisfaction in reaction from fans.

I'm so dissapointed... her facebook is closed to the public now. I only got to look through the posts once and post my own vitriol for her once. Good times.

Did anyone else read the comment with the term "jimmergasm"?

I rolled out of my chair at that one.

Also, looks like the guy over at http://www.jimmerpoy.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has a recap of it:

No one is worshipping Jimmer. However, if BYU is in the final four, there will be significantly less people attending Priesthood session all across the country. Maybe general conference will be moved this year. They did it at least once for the Olympics, and this is so much cooler.

I think she was serious. I did a stint at the Daily Universe when I was at BYU. Such letters were all too common.

Her page is closed now (bummer). She just got Jimmered.

I wonder if this was the same person the other week that was lamenting on facebook about our tithing going to support Jimmer?

That's just too funny. It's now on ESPN, SI, and wikipedia. Good job there Michelle. This just shows the power of The Jimmer.

The Jimmer once missed a dunk on purpose, just to see how it felt.
