Dick Harmon: Robert Anae must really love BYU to take on such a thankless role — again
Now he’s back. Maybe for the job title; maybe for the challenge; maybe for a louder whistle; maybe to finish what he dreamed of starting; maybe for more support; maybe simply out of loyalty to the school. Or maybe it was simply accepting a phone call from somebody who said he was needed and sorely missed.
Certainly Anae’s return is not for a pile of money and not to win a popularity contest. It's not to appease the so-called Romans in the Colosseum. And certainly it was not to receive adoration from media commentators, who’ve verbally put tread marks on his back, reversed their machines and rolled over him again.
This is a strange, if not surprising, twist of the offseason.
Robert Anae must really love BYU.

@ekute
You are a "ute" commenting on a BYU story; ergo - you are a troll praising a troll.
Its a double negative; indicating that trolls are more driven by their hatred of BYU, rather than love for their own school.
