welp, chickens coming home to roost
you can't be a social pariah and also be in the cool club.
http://www.espn.com/college-football...pansion-school BYU's inaction to date on rape-gate is another black mark against it. Most Mormons just don't get it, unfortunately. It will be many, many years before all the hardliners are dead. By then we will be radioactive. |

If trump wins we'll all be radioactive within the next 365 days.

I actually don't think this will have that much influence on what the Big 12 does. The national stories I've seen on the letter in question can't really be considered anti-BYU or anti-LDS. They're all pretty matter of fact. And the comments sections are overwhelmingly supportive of BYU. I'm sympathetic to your views on the topic of homosexuality and the church, but I don't think this is "armageddon" for BYU or the church over this yet.

Conservative white males are tone deaf at best, borderline autistic at worst.

Not sure where that's directed, but the only one of those I can say with 100% confidence describes me is "male." The others are definitely in question.

I don't have the impression most guys on CB give one rat's ass about gay people.

Outside of cougarboard there doesn't seem to really be that much of a reaction nationally outside of the stories that were pretty objective and matter of fact. I guess we can see if there ends up being a delayed one.

Based on media and fan reactions, I'm optimistic.
Bowlsby, although he's been contacted by the media about the issue, gave an automated answer to the letter. A few members of the sports media spoke in our defense. Fans of other fanbases ppear to be overwhelmingly supportive. I have no idea how the Hades CB believes Holmoe's and Bowlsby's esponse were coordinated. But it's encouraging nonetheless. Attention has been overshadowed by the Olympics.

On the other hand, the out of control MASS HYSTERIA on Cougarboard right now is FREAKING EMBARRASSING! I wish all the morons over there would shut the heck up. They are not helping. If there is anything CB has, it's a ridiculous overabundance of morons. There are a few sane voices over there advocating they stop overreacting, but the loudest noise is coming from the moronic whiners. I'm not seeing any such overreaction on other BYU fan forums though. That site is even scarier and stranger than I already thought.
