BYU-BYE game thread

Recommended Posts

BYE has an offensive line that averages 0-0, 0 lbs. and a similarly sized d-line.

And no, Utes, this isn't an intrasquad game...

BYU just scored about 10 TDs, in the first few minutes, but missed a PAT. BYU 69, BYE 0. The leading tackler for BYE is grass blade #433,154. He has one tackle on the game. Not many fans in the stands for the game.

Looks like we have another BYE game OCT 20. Holmoe was a genius for scheduling two easy W's like this.

BYU just broke 100, with over 10 minutes left. BYE has yet to have an offensive play, as every kickoff has been recovered by BYU. Good thing we had the opening kickoff, I'll have to wait until the 2nd half to resolve that problem.

BYU throws an interception, but then BYE turns it over. Hall gets hit by a blindside sack, fumbles, but BYU recovers. It seems like that happens every week.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Yeah, I saw that pick. That BYE defender had it for a minute, but his hands were too small to hold on to the football and fumbled it. The sack was actually a gust of wind through Provo Canyon knocking Hall over, easy mistake by the commentators to make.

BYE seems to be a pretty good school from the TV adverts. Looks like an easy way to get a degree, with low tuition.

Since they realized they weren't needed, the defensive coaches went home early, while the some of the defensive players have recently been put in on offense. BYU now has the 4th string in. Anae will have to start creating more strings if this game is to continue at the same pace. They don't want to be accused of running up the score. That BYE coach has said some harsh things in the past about coaches who do that.

250 with the 1st quarter already wrapping up. I predict it will end at 1,000 pts.

So many teams assumed up to this point that this BYE team on the schedule meant they didn't have a game that week. No one had actually shown up for the game, and the game never counted. BYU has already broken Ga. Tech's scoring record, and the game is only 1/4 over.

I'm going to turn it off now, someone else can take this 'ugly' game from here.

As a show of good faith, Comcast, Dish and Direct are showing the game nationally on the mtn. Check their preview channels.

Yoda out...

____________________________________________...

After deleting some of my posts and closing the offending SteveAztec thread, a couple of elites have been able to open it long enough to respond to me anyway.  And since I can’t respond on a closed thread, here is my response…

Other than the initial inquiry, this has never been about letting Steve post again; I doubt that he even wants to post here.  My complaint is about his treatment on this board and the failure of admins to control attacks on him – and worse, to sometimes participate in those attacks.

Steve was first banned on the SDSU board.  When he was banned, it was a sufficiently controversial that they started what became an 8 page thread on the topic to justify the decision (https://aztecmesa.proboards.com/thread/9747/steve-aztec-longer-member-board).  It is clear that Steve had support in the community and there was some criticism for the Board Administrators for having failed to “expel the dozens of people who've been taunting him.”  (And take a look at the thread that I bumped; initially it was supporters happy about Steve getting a radio show.  Then the haters arrived.)

I can’t say if Steve took it too far in response, but I will say that he denies most of various accusations and adds important missing context to others.  But I wasn’t a party to any of the events and can’t say who is in the right and who is in the wrong.  And I have to admit that if half of what has been said about him is true, depending on context, I might well have banned him too.  Or more likely I might have banned those who were taunting him.  (Steve had lost a brother-in-law to suicide and there have been a number of memes of people blowing their brains out, as well as posts blaming Steve or his sister for the suicide – and admins apparently let it go.)

I am in no position to evaluate the truth or falsity of the laundry list of claims made on this board about how Steve responded to all this.  My complaint, however, is about his treatment on this board.  I may be wrong, but his banning on this board at least appears to have been less about what he did on this board and more a carryover from the SDSU banning.  The same taunting continued – more suicide memes – apparently ignored by the admins. Utenation supposedly posted the first and it is explained away because he didn’t know about the suicide.  But was the post taken down?  Was an apology issued?   Indeed, for years, admins on this board have allowed Steve to be vilified based on little more than anecdotal hearsay.  This is a privately owned board, but it is not a private board – anyone can join.  And more than that, It’s not an anonymous board; people know who Steve.  You have a duty to protect your posters from libelous statements and unproven allegations -- especially when, having been banned themselves, they have no ability to defend themselves.

Even Retrofade (who says he’s not a mod but can post to closed threads) put up a “blowing his brains out” meme several years ago.  He knew that Steve lost his brother-in-law to suicide, and he now says that “Steve is a mentally disturbed individual”, which is libelous by the way, but excuses his meme as nothing more than being in “poor taste”.  Apparently it is okay with the board's current admins to taunt a "mentally disturbed person" because the post has never been taken down.  The poster has never been admonished.  And there has been no apology, unless you consider "he deserved it" to be an apology.

In my view, you owe Steve an apology for the treatment that you have tolerated and, in some cases, engaged in.  A former Aztec board went out of business when sued (not by Steve).  It won’t be the last one.  You need to fix this.  You need to administer your board and prevent libelous and incendiary attacks -- hearsay-- on posters.
