I think you missed my point. When has a chronically losing team ever been asked

this question?

Truly, does team harmony bring success or does success bring team harmony?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if everyone had this kind of passion for the Savior, but you should see how some recent converts in my ward are getting successfully hammered by local “Christians” with this same kind of passion.

That was awesome

Good answers, but I’d like to see what a team on a losing streak would say.

OU has at least one LDS girl on the team

Odysseus

Think it was the last girl? She used testimony and father. Not exclusive to lds

6/9/23 11:35am

I noticed that too. The one I’m thinking of is Jocelyn Erickson

Ideally teammates from other faith traditions would also speak of their faith.

I think their point was that they can stay positive through things other than

Always has to be one of these type of responders. Why? Life must be tough!

Think if everyone in the country had this mindset???

Everyone’s teams would be undefeated!!!

LeGrandBleu

True. Team Jesus *is* undefeated. I think you might not get what these girls are saying… at all.

Both. But I think you missed the point. Their comments were about real Joy being through Christ. Win or lose. And they

You’ll have to forgive my cynicism. Recent experiences by some newer members in

I wish we would hear more of this from byu players.

This is a bit of a rebuke for me personally. I can do better.

6/9/23 10:00am

I think many members are somewhat hesitant to rejoice in Christ in non-LDS

6/9/23 10:11am

My thought too. We're getting out-Christianed by Oklahoma?

Ham

6/9/23 10:33am

We don't have a monopoly on good Christians. Let's just learn from them.

6/9/23 10:36am

Completely agree. I just find it ironic that...

Baptists in the south very often are very open about discussing religion

NYC and Japan

How would, say, Mark Pope establish this culture with 3 Muslim players?

Focus on faith and universal religious values

Agree! But you wouldn’t see this kind of rallying around Jesus.

Religious schools. 🙄 Am I right?

University of Utah wants nothing to do with those kinds of views.

Utah fans when any other school other than BYU talks about faith or God:

Gracie is engaged to the OU punter who has a vlog and is very religious

Magneto

I like when athletes speak out about issues they are passionate about. Others want them to stick to sports

TCuz

Good point. LeBron defending China is definitely a passion of his.

panacablue

6/9/23 10:18am

Providing millions of dollars in support for the kids in his community is definitely a passion of his. Speak up, LeBron.

TCuz

6/9/23 10:25am

That’s just sports washing to cover for his vocal support of slavery

panacablue

He talks when convenient. He won't talk about modern slavery in China because

I admire the courage of Greg Popovich, Steve Kerr and Lebron

And this is a perfect example why the XII is a great fit for BYU. I can’t imagine hearing this from a PAC team.

Exactly

If a PAC team said those things during a post game press conference:

That was incredible. So refreshing to hear these viewpoints from other sources!

AFewThoughts

Wow. There's certainly a well-defined culture on that team. Love it.

Ham

One of the best sports teams in NCAA history. Boomer!!

I've heard similar from Cal.................................................not.

On the ESPNews feed they actually cut away to a Bud Light commercial
