Cool Cody Hoffman story…

Huck Redshirt Freshman

Went to Cresent City Ca. Small town middle of nowhere for a basketball tournament. BYU stuff all over town, crazy.
I asked one tattooed guy drinking a beer and smoking while proudly wearing his BYU gear why the town was obsessed with BYU. Turns out that is where Cody Hoffman is from, and he is the hometown hero!!!

If you can make it to a game this season, you are invited to sit with me and my family. 3rd row north end zone center.

Come to LES and make some noise, homie.

Abe Froman

You'd have fun and people would be cool to you. Come out and enjoy a game!

Projectoor

Sep 20, 2:01pm

You won't be the only one with tattoos. I bet most people won't even notice

Schultz is back

Sep 20, 2:02pm

There are plenty of active LDS members there who have tattoos too.

Belboz

If you're wearing BYU gear, you'll likely be complimented instead

I don't think you'd get much scorn.

BYU fans are only bothered if they see Utah fans with tattoos.

It's only PAC12 tattoos that cause a stir.

Mocking your Pac12 tat isn’t being “bothered”, it’s making fun of your Pac12 tat
