BYU/St. Mary's
Did anyone else watch this game? It just finished on ESPNU. I turned it on at halftime and I think they said they had some intentional fouls in the first half and a warning for BYU's fans throwing stuff on the court. In the second half, they had an INT, a T for the fans throwing stuff on the court, and both head coaches got whacked. It was nuts. Hopefully someone can find some video.

Yeah they started with about four seconds left after the ball went OOB. SMC just threw it in and they let the clock run down and everyone got the heck out of Dodge. Pretty poor showing by BYU. Their students were doing the "Worst refs ever" chant toward the end of the game. Of course these are the same people wanting a backcourt violation called when SMC's player jumped from the FC to BC on a throw in and caught the ball in the air, so that should tell you something.

That is absolutely disgraceful! If I am a BYU administrator the entire student section is abolished for 5 home games to send a message unless the culprit comes forward.If the culprit comes forward he/she needs to be banned for the rest of the season and quite possibly expelled.

Be careful where this thread goes. I am not a BYU fan and many of their fans are nuts but dont attack beliefs.
You may not like hem but dont need to ridicule or make fun of them as that directly does attack some of us on the board |

Their policy is based on the conviction of their beliefs; so you'd feel better if they weren't so strict with their beliefs?
You can disagree with it, and you certainly have the right to ridicule it, but I think it's silly to do so. As a Hawkeye fan, I remember the Pierre Pierce debacle, so I found BYU's stance refreshing, even if I thought it was a bit heavy handed. They not only have the right to enforce their policy, they have the right to consider whatever mitigating circumstances they choose to allow. Some expose by ESPN doesn't change that.

Let us keep this all in mind about BYU, a person like Jim Mcmahon was a star at that school and I do not know of him adhering to rules based on his own comments. And when you have former players saying they were penalized and others were not penalized, that is a problem. And based on the inference I would not know why anyone would want to go there in the first place. Remember there are other religious colleges that do not have these accusations or at least not with their athletes and in a public way. If you want to believe in something that is fine, but people can look at the institution's policies just like they do with other organizations and be critical. And I doubt seriously they are going kick out a person for throwing something on a court and acting out publicly as to me that would be worse than a personal interaction that unless you had cameras you would not always know took place.

In fact, I don't even think it's silly to ridicule some of the beliefs of Mormonism or any other organized religion once one learns more about the true origins of them. And that is not an "attack" on anyone, rather a simple opinion. I'll leave it at that in recongition of time and place for that conversation. What I do think is incredibly silly is alluding to a comparison between someone who was convicted of multiple felonies, including attempt to commit sexual abuse and another person who had consentual sex with their girlfriend. Beyond silly. |
