Surely this came from Thomas Monson, Prophet-seer-revelator..., after nearly wearing out his knees in supplication to the Lord for a way to distinguish "The Lord's Team" from all the Godless football programs across the land. Especially the Satan run Notre Dame team.

It is inspired, directly from The Lord and just as with LDS Doctrine is a program that will stand proud and unchanged through the millennia to come.

This is a terrible idea.

Apparently, Coach Bronco has listened to the players, who did not want to be rendered into an anonymous BYU righteousness slogans, and relented in making the players wear them. In exchange for not making the entire fiasco look like an expensive brain fart on the Coaches part, the players have agreed to wear these jerseys for the Homecoming Game and the annual BYU Fall Jell-O Festival.

Wow, that was fast 180. My not-a-BYU-fan husband didn't get NEARLY the time he wanted to laugh about this.

Here's my suggestion.

Put this image on the back of the jerseys:

In the middle, add the word "masturbation".

Wouldn't that end the whole game of football?
