The Wildcat's Den

We LOST!! *sob* I tried to see angels, I really did! *sob, sob, hiccup*

(66 points if you get the reference.  Four more if you feel my pain.  One more to take it to overtime.)

The Aggies lost their first home game in a long-o time-o.  To freaking Fresno State of all people!  And it was completely our fault!  It would have been better if we'd lost to Nevada on Thursday because at least we could cuss out the refs.  In fact, I've never been to a home game where we lost and poor officiating wasn't a factor.  We had it... and we lost it... We were shooting wild three pointers IN THE FIRST HALF and not getting defensive rebounds and just stupid mistakes.  We were leading the whole stinking time and we gave it up in the end.  To top off my wonderful evening, BYU beat Utah by a lot.  I said some not nice things when the announcer man came out and said that.  What a way to go...

I hope, I hope, I hope that we make a good showing at the WAC tournament next week.  If we don't, I'm going to be extremely unhappy.

I can't blog now.  I need to go cry.

Love from,

Countdown to Spring Break: Closer than it was earlier today, so I guess more like Five Days

Letter to the Editor in the Statesman today: from a BYU fan who is obviously not from anywhere near Logan, but due to the wonder that is the Internet, felt Honor-Code bound to spread the whiny-goodness to Cache Valley.  This comes in response that the BEEG AN' POWAHFUUUUL NASHONALLEE RANK'D BEE-WHY-WHO TEEM can't even come up with the cahoneys to make the trip to Logan and play Utah State in a USU home game.  Dave Rose - BYU's coach - wanted USU to go down to Salt Lake and play BYU in the EnergySolutions Arena when Utah State approached them about playing the Aggies in -- gasp -- Logan, where the home team is actually from!  What an amazing concept!

According to Zaney Zoobie,  BYU goes on road games out of the charity and goodness of their hearts to bring national attention to teams that don't whine their cans off when they don't win and expect everyone who's heard of Donny Osmond to give a flying cockroach turd.  If that's the case and all BYU is out for is to help out poor, underfunded teams, why don't they go play some junior colleges?  That way, the JCs get the money and BYU gets their winning record.  Heck, go be the sugar daddy to Utah County high schools and help them get to the state tournament when the UHSAA actually gets up the gumption to make Wasatch Front schools play in St. George for the title.  That's real charitable work there.

How many exclamation points does it take to screw in a light bulb?  Six - one to change the bulb and five to help spell out frec!<!n' !d!ot!  I guess a degree from BYU automatically makes us obligated to care about your unresearched and asinine opinion (I must have missed that memo).  This guy is obviously many years removed from being graduated from BYU -- why does he feel the need to write a letter to the Utah Statesman (a college-student produced newspaper, I might add) and call us names?  Who's the more mature adult here?

This is why people hate BYU so much: they whine incessantly when they lose, but when they win, the rest of the world is morally obligated to care for at least twenty years.  The point of the original article was that if BYU is so high and mighty, why do they have to play a USU "home game" on neutral territory?  It's not about travel time and gas expenses (New Mexico State, Fresno State, San Jose and even Hawaii somehow find the funds to get here), it's about being too cowardly to get off the BYU campus and experience a tough opponent.

I don't think BYU fans and alums realize how much everyone else is laughing at them.  If BYU can make it on just home games alone, let them do it!  I don't want to look at any of their fans defacing the Spectrum with their presence.  We don't need their charity.  We're going to go to the NCAA tournament knowing that we actually played by the rules and played tough road games.  We don't need to cheat to get a good winning record.  BYU will have to change their song, though.  "Rise and shout, the Cougars can't go out (of their Provo-bubble so they can actually keep their rigged winning record)."  In fact, make it part of the Honor Code: If you graduate from BYU, you can't leave Utah Valley.  Ever."  It benefits all parties: BYU can stay home, win all the time and proclaim how wonderful they are and have all their so-called "internationally recognized alumni jobs" (by the way, Orem isn't international, you retards), while the rest of us don't have to look at the buggers.

I'm just sick of the egotisitical tradition behind BYU athletics.  It's one thing to win and be nationally ranked, it's another thing to be a smart-ass about it.  This is why very few people outside of Utah (and then, few people outside of the BYU sphere of influence) actually like BYU.  Their attitude is just plain embarrassing to the rest of the state.  This is also why USU students hate it when people wear BYU apparel on-campus.  These morons couldn't get into "sacred BYU", so they came to Utah State, but made sure that everyone knew that because they're BYU fans, they're automatically better than everyone else.  Why don't we just make a BYU-Logan campus and corral these jerks up into it.  That way, they get the presumptuous-ass BYU experience without having to be accepted to the presumptuous ass school.

PS, Why is everyone pissing me off so much lately?  Is it "Wildcat Wants to Kill You" Month or something?
