Flattery

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery... I see this in Dick's comments that Sam Boyd Stadium is now being dubbed by BYU fans "Lavell Edwards Stadium South"...

Hmmmm, I wonder where that came from?

;)

Liberal larry

You mean I can't bring my six shooter into the game? Where is the NRA when we need them?

Jimmy's Sneakers

...or you could just gamble!?!

Texas Ute

Sounds to me that without casinos there would be little to do.

Wrong place

BYU playing in Vegas just seems wrong. All thos activities are lame. Just gamble.

Flattery

Flattery,It came from BYU fans calling RES BYU North : )

Spell Check

I wish writers for the Des News would check their spelling. Fremont street is spelled with one "e", not two. This article, and one other earlier in the week, made this mistake more than once. The street in Las Vegas is named after John C. Fremont. The other spelling error that riles me is from posters on these comment boards. That is using loose (my belt is too loose) for lose (when you don't cover your man on 4th and 18, you are going to lose the game). Please people, if you are going to write, use the right words.

....nothing else to do?....just anything you can do when it's not 10 degrees outside with a foot of snow on the ground!!

Re: Spell Check

Yeah, the things you pointed out are mistakes, but I imagine you have a sad, angry life of reading ahead of you - things aren't going to get any better.

San Dimas High School Football Rules!

Do speling errers really bother you Spell Check?

And with a liddle ovur 36000 seets Sam Boyd Stadum is a real Bowl Stadium isn't it?
It's obvius that what they rilly want is to git ewe to the cassinos with their zillion room hotels.

Sorry Spell Check I think I spelled zillion right even though it isn't really a word.

Move the MWC Bowl to a decent stadium, even RES has more seats than Sam Boyd.

Give me a break.

North/South

Are you suggesting that BYU started the LES south thing and Dick Harmon copied it? So were the Packer fans copying you last week when they posted a "Lambeau South" sign at the Jones Dome in St Louis? Flattery is right! You've really started something.

Ime wyth ya Zacko! Go, Cougs!!

Nice Try

I'm pretty sure neither BYU or the U of U can take credit for renaming another team's stadium after their own and adding a "north, east, south or west". this is something that you see all over the country in college and professional sports. No one can lay claim to starting this, not Urban Meyer and not BYU fans. It would be great if someone would come up with something original, instead of copying traditions from other programs. Maybe BYU and UofU should start calling their fans "the 12th man" and say that they started it.

true blue

There is nothing BYU wants to copy about utah football. Utah football has always been and will always be a mediocre mwc program. BYU strives for exellence. Have fun playing navy!!! not that UCLA is much better.

reFlattery

I hear that Urban named the inner city after himself. You learn this at the Urban Meyer tour at the U of U. You can see the room in which he set his suitcase, which he never unpacked, the room where he copied the terms "fully vested" and "TDS" (sort of a play on LDS, but LDS are fair game, but not the other way around. I hope Austin Collie learned his lesson), and they even have an office off of his office that used to be his secrataries office, where Kyle now works out of (They keep his office just the way he left it in case he comes back).

I just really think it is neat how much storied untouchable traditions his "Urbaness" instilled at the U during his 15 month stay.

I wonder...

if the buffet place actually loses money when the whole team is eating....Can you imagine the appetites of the Offensive and Defensive Linemen?.....LOL!!
