God Has Officially Abandoned BYU Football

Post by Everybody Wang Chung »

Liberty University just beat BYU 41 to 14. Yes, the same Liberty University that was founded by Jerry Falwell.

All I can say is that it's a good thing Oral Roberts University doesn't have a football team.

I have to agree with The Daily Universe that this is an all-time low for BYU football.

Thanks, I was wondering what the final a score was. I must admit things went through my mind as well.

Forty one to fourteen sounds like a route.

It’s a sign.

A chiasm.

Divine hiddenness demanded it.

If God allowed them to always win then too many people would notice the miracle and become Mormons too easily.

Being God is hard work. You know you’ve done your job right when no one is quite sure if you’ve done anything at all.

And, if you can't prove that some scorekeepers didn't spell "to" archaically as "toot", and allowing for the accepted variation that LiB is pronounced U(y)B in societies not yet discovered by LIDAR (see footnote 47 for a unrelated non-explanation), it's palindromatically chiastic.

____________BYU 14 toot 41 UYB____________

Quit gnashing and wailing and just go back to church already.

Just saw this on reddit.
Final score was 14 to 41. Brigham had 56 wives.
55 points and 56 wives?

Another obviously impossible coincidence. :roll:

Drop the ‘e’, and it is quite the rout, as well.

Or don’t, and it still is. : )

Methinks sitake isn’t paying god the required obeisance, quite like liberty coaches do.
