BYU to the Big 12?

That's funny cause we do too. I love watching the opposing fans looking at each other like " is this for real?" Or my co-worker, who I took to a game( who isnt mormon) busts out right in the middle of the prayer, " ...dude what the hell is going on,..is that guy praying,?" It was pretty funny. I think it will be 2nd nature for Traveling BYU fans in a "pray before the game" atmosphere
I will vouch foy BYU's Stadium and Backdrop. I dont really know how to say this without sounding like too big of a dork, but when your at the stadium, it is pretty easy to get wrapped up in how pretty of an area it is located in. Esp. in the fall, when the leaves are changing. Its worth a visit at least once for sure
BYU fan here... diggin your board, and really you should know plenty about the Mormons, you already had one of Utah's favorite sons tear it up for your Wrestling team (Cael Sanderson, 159-0, and a Mormon, from Heber Utah). I hope this is true with BYU in the Big 12, I'm digging you guys.
And if your wondering about the drinking, there is a new 3 story bar being built in downtown Provo as we speak, that you can enjoy. Consultants came through the town to help with tourism and the first thing they asked was "where's the alcohol", and liquor licenses have been thrown all over ever since.
I've been to Iowa twice, once as a white-shirt and tie wearing missionary in Keokuk, and another for work in Des Moines. Would love to check it out more. Plus, when you get here you can get a taste of the Polynesian culture in Utah (my people) what we lack in the black population, we make up for with 6'4" 300 pound Tongans and Samoans (BYU's secret to football all these years). We're the ones with all the funny last names in the NFL if your curious.
If you wanna bike and hike the mountains and the redrocks of Moab, then come for football. If you wanna ski "The best snow on earth" (according to our travel guide), I'll see you in basketball season. So many BYU fans want to make this happen, it's ridiculous. Also, if you want the crazy BYU fans go to Cougarboard, you want the more level headed try Cougaruteforum. We've already got Jayhawk and Longhorn fans fighting on it.
And I've got one wife... and can barely handle that, why would I want more... thank heavens you get kicked out of the church for practicing that nowadays.

The offer is for ISU fans OUTSIDE of Salt Lake
What you doing in Salt Lake man? Work?
Working, but wife and I were looking for some mountains and outdoor rec opportunities. Only been here 4 months though, so haven't had a chance to hit the slopes yet :smile:
You BYU guys seem pretty legit. Would love to have you in our conference. I'd definitely make it out to Provo for that.
in that case, for sure man...let's hit the slopes. You miss home, or is SLC treating you ok?
Ohh, Polynesian...I saw PolyCougar and thought Polygamy....had me worried for a bit that it was going down hill.
I didn't realize that there was a Polynesian angle to BYU....this sounds better and better....seriously, between Polynesia and Iowa...can you imagine the roast pork possibilities!?!?!?
Sorry, geeked out a little bit there on the BBQ/pork thing.
Yeah man, most of the Polynesian community in the United States is located in Utah and California... the Poly's have played a HUGE role in the success of BYU, Utah, Oregon, and USC, if anything you might end up with some brown players from Utah with 8 syllable names if Utah is opened for your recruiting... and you best believe we know how to roast some pig out here... that's what we do.
And I don't think I should do it, but I can't believe you guys aren't putting up pictures that reflect some of my favorite Utah Mormons... our women... so I'll help work on this Mormon stereotype... starting with Julianne Hough, who loves Ryan Secrest... and America (we're famous for being extremely patriotic)...
Eliza Dushku and her Church Hymn tattoo...
And Jimmers girlfriend, the BYU cheerleader... I'm happy for Jimmer...
Actress wise there's still Katherine Heigl, Amy Adams, AJ Cook, Chelsi Hightower, etc... and in Provo you pretty much get a whole city full of this... that's why people say BYU has some of the most beautiful women in the country. Just working down the stereotype for you guys, especially when people show pictures of that crazy Polygamist group in Texas and call them Mormons, I just wanna fix that thought really fast... and if this BYU/Big 12 thing works out, you'll see it when you get here.
There's just one little catch:

ISU's AAU membership doesn't prevent some ISU fans from being short sighted and uninformed. In fact, it is clear from some people's posts regarding Mormons and the LDS that this is the case.

Whats the deal with mormon "soaking" polycougar? Don't act like you don't know what it is. Thats the kind of stuff that makes mormons crazy IMO. I lived in SLC for 2 months, couldn't get over how my kids were treated for not being mormon in school. Talk about discrimination, I'd rather be a black gay jew in Texas than a christian in SLC.
