Football fans still seething over The mtn.

• "I'M A HUGE BYU fan in St. George, and I'm very frustrated about The mtn. debacle.

"I'm with Dish Network and have called probably 10 times to request The mtn. Not once has any employee known what I was talking about. I feel that trying to reach them by phone is almost pointless. However, I just discovered the satellite CEOs can much more easily be reached online ...

• "MY WIFE and I are BYU alumni that live in St. Louis, Mo. Watching BYU on TV has become one of our most valued family traditions. Saturdays in the fall have always meant BYU football. Now that tradition is apparently gone thanks to short-sighted league officials. We lived out of the country for quite some time and were still able to catch the games on ESPN. Now we're a couple of states away from LaVell Edwards Stadium, and we can't see a thing. What a shame that the MWC has done this to their fans.
