Ben Olson press interview
 

http://cbs2.com/sports/local_story_247010641.html

plenty of opportunities to talk about his mission, his family. I was impressed. He's doing a lot of good for the Church.

Here's to a hard-fought battle Saturday.

go Cougs!

good for him. I hope he gets his head knocked off on Sat.

Yeah, knocked of and kicked around a little bit until reattached backwards.

Too bad CB isn't on the team anymore, he could have given BO the Steve Tate treatment.

I wish nothing but a case of football herpes upon him. A sow's ear can't be dressed up like a silk purse.

In the football arena, those endeavoring to appear magnanimous don't understand football. There is nothing to be magnanimous about here. He left believing his shiz don't smell and it does.

Now with that said, my wishes will probably not come true and he is likely to have a very good game against us. However, a few hard sacks would make me smile.

HUH, you really want people to think that all of the churches best and brightest aren't at BYU.

water under the bridge. Max Hall is doing fine in his first year. No need to be bitter.

PR for The Church is always a good thing.

Go Cougs!

Seems like an impressive young man who represents himself and the church well. I wish him success, just not this Saturday.

BYU football and BYU sports are not about good pr for the Church to me. I don't like how Ben Olsen screwed BYU. I can fully understand why he did it. BYU appeared to be in a cesspool. However, at about its darkest hour his abdication was the final kick in my very calloused ball sack. It did not feel good and I DON'T HAVE to live and let live. I am a fan of BYU football. People who do things that allow it to win games, I like. People who do the opposite, I don't like. This is a very simple concept to me. I wish for nothing but ill will upon Ben Olsen's athletic endeavors and it is not a bitter thing, it is a moral principle.

Other than that he is a TO Lance and myself, a proud Simi Valley Pioneer, have other reasons to righteously hope he acquires a case of syphilis.

I do hope, however, that his good and virtuous daughter in Zion lovely wife is somehow protected for contracting syphilis from him. I don't know I will give them some toilet seat covers or something.....

So, you willfully ignore the Lord's commandment to turn the other cheek eh? But then, there wasn't football in that day so you may have found yourself a loophole.

The problem with this attitude is that it's such a slippery slope. You start by wishing Benedict Olson well and before you know it, you're cheering for the LDS athletes at the U.

You're either with us or you're against us!

Bronco was asked about BO. Said something like "I've never met Ben Olson. I have met his dad but I've never talked to Ben."

Some of you may remember there was a post on CB from someone that knew BO that said Bronco ran into BO's dad at a wedding or something and they had a little pridefest over the definition of honesty and integrity. You also may remember that Ben was still up in the air about where to go when Bronco was hired. There's no excuse for Bronco not getting on an airplane to visit with Ben and try to smoothing things over, or at least talking to him on the phone.

IF we had QB issues and IF Bronco hasn't done a million right things in a row and IF Bronco hadn't shown willingness to swallow his pride on a number of other things--like his 3-3-5 defense, I might make a big deal out of it. But I'm not gonna.

Ben Olson is a specimem. I had a man crush on him since watching him in a fall scrimmage as an 18 yo frosh. Tall, solid build. Effortlessly threw deep outs. Confident, smart. Could move around the pocket. He was the future. It was tough seeing him leave, and Bronco had his part in it. But I'm over it. Let's kill him.

These people all have pretty good size ego's. There aren't too many successful athletes or coaches who are like Dale Murphy.

The kids ego gets on steroids thanks to parents. I don't know how things might have turned out, but I do know how they did turn out. I wouldn't trade a Bronco M. for 5 BO's.

I think a good precedent was sent. Bronco doesn't kiss parents butts, at least I hope that precedent was sent.

By the way whether Ben is successful or not outside of playing BYU, I really honestly don't care. If he is great fine, if he sucks fine. He isn't a BYU, MWC conf. football player. I guess if push came to shove I would cheer for him over some Baptist QB playing for Harvard.

Turn the other cheek can take a number behind a long list of other commandments I willfully ignore.

Saying that, I always take the sacrament with the right hand, despise facial hair (save when thesbian duties call for such), own 4 white dress shirts and have gone totally monogomous (despite being married in the Temple of our God) once I learned my little swimmers have the strength of an out pattern thrown by Bob Rice's Grandson and have a Lloyd Christmas like chance of hitting the ol target.

Ben sucks the puss out of a boil on Roseanne Barr's ass. Every TO Lancer does. Don't get me started on the faggits from Newberry Park High, pretty boy Cameron and Daniel Bobik included.

Saying that I would not trade Bronco Mendenhall for 1000000000 Ben Olsen's. UCLA will have a couple of solid teams the next two years and I think they will beat BYU this year. However, I do think that BYU is gonna do some good things as well the next couple years and I believe Bennie will have his moments of red-headed syphilis carrying sobriety where he wonders "what if.."

I on the other hand will not. ;)

Good to hear that you obey the ones that count, ya know?

Lloyd Christmas has a slim chance, but hey, he did eventually get the luggage where it needed to be.

filled with IOU's, which are as good as money

That one is for $300,000.00 That's a big one, you might wanna hold onto it!

I hope BO gets his world rocked on Saturday. I wish nothing but ill on him in return for his dishonesty. I don't care how many little speeches he gives about his great mission experience, blah, blah, blah...actions speak louder than words. What he did was selfish and shows a lack of honesty and integrity, and I pray that we see him body slammed to the turf on Saturday more than once.

HA!!

HA!!

HAHAHAHA!!!!

The real question thouh, is that in these prayers, do you use thee and thou or are they more intimate?

I mindlessly follow the direction of the brethren and stick with thee and thou. So far that seems to be working out okay for me.

hell hath no fury...

His little speeches are for the Church's rep, not for you.

Exactly. Let the Church love him then. As a BYU fan I hope he comes out the game getting his scrotum tickled by his brain.

I can think of other ways that he could have, and should have represented the church.

It's fair (or at least not inconsistent) to say he should represent the church by playing for BYU.

It's unfair and inconsistent to say he misrepresented the church by "lying" by changing his mind on his mission and transferring schools. We have our starting QB for the same reason.

Yeah Jay, but at least Hall was lying for Jesus.

It should be a matter of principle that we hate those that suddenly step over and join Santa Ana.

yeah, but now that he's gone the best he can do is play well, make a splash, and give those little speeches. Church's welfare is maximized that way.

Now that he's gone I hope he chokes, disappears into oblivion and BYU gets to make the splash, and Max Hall can make those little speeches.

Holy Hell, Waters gets it! Why not the rest of you? I don't root for the BYU because BYU victories helps the Great Creator in His work and His glory. I root for them because when they win it gives me hard nipples, I am sure Diamond is in the same camp. Ben left the BYU. I am not upset about his cowardly and dishonest way of doing it. The morality was leaving the BYU, not how he did it. Further, he left the BYU at a very dark hour thus answering my question as to why every TO Lancer squats when they pee.

So I am all for Brian "LEON WHITE" Kehl punching BO in his vagina all afternoon long.

WHO IS WITH ME?!?!

Better if Hall and Olson both make those little speeches so we can baptize even more people and live happily ever.

THE END

I am with you, brother.

I know it's not cool to admit, but part of my love for BYU is the aspect of the church representation. And as much as it pains me, I know LDS at competing institutions can sometimes (to much lesser degree), provide that same benefit to the church. That said, let's kill Ben this Saturday.

I support this post.

This whole thread makes my nipples hard. Anyone got a couple band-aids?

Hear Hear!

<raises right hand to sustain this post>

I was with you before the Henry V-esque speech.

Nice Leon White reference. Then I take it that Nixon is Kurt Gouveia to Kehl's Leon White? Those were heady days.

I'm pretty much with you. Yeah, I was pissed Ben left, but I'm over it now. It's not like he transferred to the U, which would be unforgiveable. If he had done that, I'd wish nothing but pain in this life and eternal damnation in the next. Bottom line is, he's with UCLA and I don't give a rip about that school except when they're playing the Y.
