I'll bring you up to speed:
This girl writes an editorial to the Daily Universe about Jimmer:
http://universe.byu.edu/node/13756
She complains about constantly hearing about Jimmer and compares Jimmermania to idol worship. Her name is posted at the bottom of the editorial. Well come to find out she has an open Facebook page, meaning anybody can post on there. So she posts this on her Facebook page:"just wrote another irritated letter to the editor of the BYU newspaper."
So one BYU fan comments on her post "Jimmer! Jimmer! Jimmer! Jimmer!". And then another fan posts something else Jimmer related. Then another, then another. Pretty soon this girl had OVER 600 Jimmer related comments on her Facebook page. All in good fun. Nobody attacked her personally or anything.
Here is a link to a snapshot of her Facebook page before she removed them.

And then ESPN picked up on it and after that it went viral. Here are a few links to the story from various websites:http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/22753/jimmer-mania-gives-us-epic-facebook-thread http://college-basketball-blog.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/26283066/27441707

At which point I'll start a "BYU should drop/reject all students/applicants opposed to sports campaign"

I often tell people I wouldn't even have gone to BYU if it wasn't for Y sports....maybe not true, but dang close.

I'm recently married and my wife and I were discussing where we want to live when all is said and done. My wife finally just said, "Let's face it, we're always going to live in Utah. I can't be very far away from my family and you can't be very far away from BYU sports."
