Letter of Regret

Dear Coach Whittingham,

As a fan of the Brigham Young University Football program, please allow me to formally apologize for and in behalf the actions of a few fellow fans, players, and students directed towards your organization.

We wish to express our gratitude for such a wonderful rivalry between two excellent football teams that has generated hundreds of thousands of fans, memories and revenue dollars for the greater Salt Lake area. Please disregard our blatant disregard of sportsmanship when our players call your team, organization and university 'classless', or incite that your team is an unworthy opponent. We seem to overlook the devastating loss from last year or thrice escaping embarrassment by the skin of our teeth in recent games. Never mind our own fans and students who physically harassed your wife and daughter after the game; but yet take the time and effort to publicly reprimand those who verbally 'assault' us at Rice-Eccles stadium. Please try to overlook the fact that we refer to your school as a second-class school full of drunks and godless heretics (despite our school being a private Christian organization which teaches us not to judge), when you school population is, in-fact, over half LDS.

Coach, football is a great sport. If I may, the greatest sport on this earth. We hope that you will continue to better the athletes of this fine game, despite our poor attitudes. We hope you will continue to ethically fuel this great rivalry for years to come, despite our childish antics. Please welcome us back next year for a great game - and we pray that you will not run us into the ground; God knows you have every right.

Sincerely,

BYU Fans

PS - If Max Hall were actually consistent enough to warrant even a second glance for the Heisman, and I actually got a vote; I'd drop him from the ballot for his incredibly brainless and childish blunder.
