Max Hall was completely right when he said that “…unlike any other college football program in the nation, we represent not only a college but you represent a faith.”  Like it or not, the players both teams represent their respective universities to the rest of the world.  Now, his comments after Saturday’s game against Utah, is a completely different situation.  In the interest of full disclosure I do tend to cheer for BYU all things considered equal.  I have duel loyalties and that’s just how it is.  I grew up a BYU fan but went to the U and cheer for both teams.  Last year when Utah was undefeated I cheered for Utah to win because I wanted them to go to a BCS bowl and knew that there was nothing to be gained by the Y winning.  However, this year, there were no major implications for BCS possibilities etc and so I cheered for the Y.  It was an incredible game with BYU coming out of the gates leading 20-6 just to have a freshman quarterback start a great comeback to tie the game, sending it into overtime.   We all know what happened from there. 

So here I am, thinking “wow, what a great game and a great win for BYU.”  I was genuinely happy for Max Hall especially after his performance last year against Utah (however, you can easily argue minus the interceptions that his performance wasn’t any better than last year’s game  )...read more here
