Ben Criddle, if you are out there, please stop! Please stop referring to BYU as
BYU I Bleed Blue

But it's ok to refer to it as the Y?
jcase16byu
2/21/19 8:20am
Yep, because it is the Y! How many times have you called it Brigham?
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 9:42am
The Y-P!

There we go! I like it. The Y-P, the Y-I, and the Y-H. A lot easier.

If you’re going to ask Criddle, you might want to ask Van Noy too. Lol!
Mathew
2/21/19 8:27am
Van Noy can call it whatever he wants, he has earned it
Turd Ferguson
2/21/19 8:32am
Lol, so has Criddle.
Mathew
2/21/19 8:43am
He has?
Turd Ferguson
2/21/19 8:47am
Sure. Why wouldn’t he? Probably to much for a turd to understand tho
Mathew

try me
Turd Ferguson
2/21/19 9:00am
I thought I did. There was a question.
Mathew
2/21/19 9:10am
oh sorry. What has he done to qualify for elevated status?
Turd Ferguson
2/21/19 11:22am
Any BYU player has earned the right, Turd. Matter of fact
Mathew
2/21/19 12:19pm
Lol, ok
Turd Ferguson

IMO he has earned it by getting ESPN 960 going, if I'm not mistaken, if it

I've heard Johns Hopkins referred to as "Johns",
Dissenter
2/21/19 8:39am
I would be more inclined to refer to it as "Hopkins" than "Johns"
Rhino84
2/21/19 10:22am
I attended Johns Hopkins and never once heard it referred to as "Johns."

"I go to Johns Hopkins" "I go to Duke, how long have you been at Johns"
Dissenter
2/22/19 5:55am
Yeah. I live pretty close to Hopkins and work closely with them.
SouthernCoug
2/22/19 6:10am
you mean you live pretty close to Johns 😉
Dissenter
2/22/19 6:23am
but Brigham is a far more unique name than John is

Thank you. That is the difference. A&M, Wazzou, etc, but they are not named

Of all the dumb little things to get annoyed over.... Saying Brigham is fine
ReggaeCoug
2/21/19 8:38am
Just saying, so would you call George Mason or George Washington Universities
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 9:46am
No because the name George isn't as unique as Brigham. People easily associate
ReggaeCoug
2/21/19 9:55am
Really? Maybe within Church circles. Have you heard it called that before?
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 10:07am
Well does the whole nation listen to Criddle? No, just BYU fans.

Brigham & Women’s Hospital? Another famous “Brigham.” No sports team but still.
byujdmba

But that Brigham is a last name. And the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital

I agree, but not one of those schools is the name of a person, and so its
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 9:47am
Brigham is way more unique and identifiable than "Young". Baylor is named after
Thrill
2/21/19 10:36am
Still, how many times in your life have you honestly heard it called Brigham?
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 11:43am
But why does the number of times matter? You trying to win a popularity contest?
jcase16byu

Only by a few people and it sounds silly each time.

The point is that nicknames can be silly, varied, and dont need to make sense

You mean like Gonzaga, named after the young Jesuit saint Aloysius Gonzaga

Yep, I'm not sure whether he was telling Brigham (on the other side) to give
BYU I Bleed Blue

I don't think he was sending a telegram to Brigham on the other side. It was clearly a reference to BYU.

I am pretty sure he was sending it to the Brigham football team. Or the Y, or

UNC is called Carolina, USC is SC, etc
BYU Grounds
2/21/19 10:59am
True, but UCLA is not CLA, and NC State is not called Carolina or Carolina State
BYU I Bleed Blue
2/21/19 12:16pm
why is UC Berkeley called Cal?
BYU Grounds
2/21/19 12:23pm
Because UC stands for University of California and UC Berkeley was the first one
ColonelMustard
2/21/19 12:55pm
Because they put "Cal" on their helmets.

What's funny is I never relate uc Berkeley with cal. I always forget they

You're just listing all the schools that don't have nicknames. That doesn't

Brigham is a nickname. Relax.
