Craig Thompson

Last Saturday BYU defeated the University of New Mexico in football, and in the process, garnered enough victories this season to win the conference championship outright.

I couldn't have been more proud.

Following the game, the Mountain West Conference Commissioner, Craig Thompson, was on hand to present the team with the championship trophy. And how, you may ask, did many of the good fans of BYU who were in attendance represent the "Lord's Team" to this guest of the school?

Despicably.

They lustily booed him. They unmercifully humiliated him.

I couldn't have been more ashamed.

Apparently these folks believed that they were justified because they are currently not able to watch certain sporting events on TV, and they believe Mr. Thompson is to blame.

Oh, yes, that is quite important. Go right ahead then, abuse this child of God.

But, is that what Jesus would do? Is that choosing the right? I don't think so. Some things are more important than sports or TV. I am sad that too many of our people don't get it.

Maybe the Lord will intervene and let BYU return to its recent losing-ways in order to humble us fans. Apparently, we need it.
