If you would have told me in August that between the UofU and BYU, after 6 games, one team would be 6-0 and the other team would be 4-2, I would have been ecstatic that BYU was 4-2.
Hey BYU fans: We have a huge game against Baylor this week. Stop talking about the Utes. I’m not even sure why anyone is talking trash, they played a great game.
But move on.
If I can do it, you can do it!

My aunt was Elder Ballard’s secretary her entire career. He often came to our family gatherings. Here he is holding my two oldest kids. He’s an amazing person.
If you feel like speaking ill of him, I suggest you log off X, because you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I lost 70 lbs on my mission. Walked 10-15 miles per day. Often slept in hammocks. Often had to sleep under mosquito nets. It was hot, it was hard. It was worth it.
We didn’t care because it wasn’t about us, it was about the people we served. We weren’t thinking about ourselves.
When I was 9 mos old I drowned my twin bro in the bathtub. He was saved by a neighbor who lived in the basement apt. 25 yrs later, I'm sitting in PT school, listening to our professor tell a story of how he saved a 9 mo old neighbor boy who was drowned in the bathtub. Same story
The Lord asks us to me to pay 10% in tithing and some people think the church needs to be more transparent about how it spends it.
The government takes 40% of my income and those same people think that’s not enough and we should be taxed more.
The church could literally release all of its financial records and 99.9% of people complaining wouldn’t even know what they’re looking at. They would have to wait for a tiktok to tell them what it all says cause they can’t even manage their own finances.
Unpopular opinion:
The President of the United States never has been, nor will be, responsible for the good and bad things in your life.
Have some dignity and pride in yourself. We are the product of our own choices.
How good was Jaren Hall this year? He far exceeded my expectations. You can count the number of bad decisions he made in the entire season on one hand.
Against the schedule he faced, he was an incredibly effective QB and leader. Well done sir.
The church lied to me. Since I was 3 years old I was taught in primary that “We’re all made of hinges cause everything bends.”
It wasn’t until my eyes were opened in college that I learned that some joints are ball & socket while others are pivot
I’m seriously shaking right now
Apparently, even though the US has a $2T welfare budget each year, the reason there are still homeless people, poor education, and starvation is because the LDS church is “hoarding” $100B.
Unpopular opinion: You do not need the President of the United States to improve your life. There is nothing stopping you from going and getting anything you want on your own.

chapel for every 1.3 square miles in Salt Lake County, Dave of Holladay wants to know: Why are these resources not being used to house the homeless population?
I voluntarily donate 10% to the church.
The government takes 3-4x that amount in taxes under penalty of fines or jail, and we don’t get a full accounting of that.

Dear Democrats,
It’s totally cool if you want to vote for Kamala because you would rather have her than Trump. Just stop pretending she’s a good candidate or would even make a good president, it makes you look like a tool.
Dear Republicans,
Why did you elect Trump to represent

Such a tiresome argument. The church does pay taxes on investments and commercial ventures.
Not even my 5 and 7 year old whine as much as this guy about vacuuming the floors and cleaning the windows in the church.
The Mormon Church is the Wealthiest church on earth, with six times the wealth of the next richest church. Despite this, they tell the poor to starve their children to pay more tithing, and force members to do free janitorial work. It’s time to remove their tax exemption.

are we actually good?
We beat an SMU team that looks legit.
We beat K-State that looks legit.
We beat an Arizona team that looks legit.
Still not sure. But this team has already exceeded my expectations.

People are not less likely to watch it because women are playing it, that's sexist. People don't watch because it's not entertaining, much like nobody is going to pay to watch me play, it's really quite simple.
Breaking: Sources confirm that negotiations between Kalani Sitake and the University of Oregon stalled when Oregon was unable to meet the demands of:
1. Mansions on high
2. Duck tails (a 24 inch diameter apple fritter)
The fact that both Democrats and Republicans don’t like Mitt is reason enough for me to like him. It’s ok see see both good and bad on each side of the political spectrum. That’s called being a moderate.
Can we please stop pretending like your dog is your child? I get that they give you validation in your life,but they are not the same thing! You are not mommy and daddy and your parents are not Grammy and Poppy to your dog. This is madness
I'm going to get roasted for this tweet
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s possible to work a full time job while also attending college full time.
It will help you reduce your debt while in school. It’s a weird concept, I know.
Truth bomb:
God does not love you more or less if you served a mission or not.
Yes, serving a mission is an expectation, but if you’re self righteous and uncharitable to those who didn’t serve, you apparently didn’t learn what it’s like to be a disciple.
Unpopular opinion:
You don’t need to buy your kids an electric scooter. Or an e-bike. Or a golf cart.
It really is ok to have them ride a pedal bike.
(I can’t wait for all of the snooty parents to tell me how wrong I am)
I love BYU football. I’m proud of the players, they seem like awesome men that will do a lot of good in the world.
I’m just grateful that my day to day performance isn’t broadcast on TV for everyone to critique.
The number of people trying to paint this as a negative is not unexpected. There is something very good about high school kids working part time jobs. If you don’t learn entry level skills as a high schooler, then you’re going to be learning them as a 20-something.
This Sunday’s edition of “60 Minutes” will lead off with a report about the LDS Church's finances and will feature an on-camera interview with a former senior portfolio manager who turned whistleblower.
Dear Kalani,
I know you feel bad with losses and that you, the staff, and players take losses extremely hard. I also know you all poured over film to find out what went wrong and how to improve. You owe me no explanation. I got your back.
Signed,
This guy
Zach Wilson rocked it yesterday. But the second biggest story of the day for me was ZERO dropped passes. TEs and WRs made plays on the ball and made difficult catches. That has been something we've been missing.
Ex-mos: Times are changing, the church needs to make changes to keep up with the times.
[Adustments made to temple presentation]
Ex-mos: See, the church isn’t true, a real prophet wouldn’t keep making changes like that.
New Perspective:
Connor (10) and I had an amazing opportunity to spend some time with the
@BYUMBB
team.
We flew on the team’s charter flight, stayed in the same hotel, were invited to attend team film sessions, eat meals with the players and staff, attend shoot around and
If anything, this election is evidence that we need a moderate party. Both Democrats and Republicans have swung their proverbial pendulums way too far in each direction.
Our current system is tribalism and it's very toxic.
A lot of you never lived through 2001 BYU that went 12-0 with a Doak Walker winner and then got waxed by Hawaii in their final game and wasted in their bowl game. And it shows.
I don’t pay tithing because I think the church needs it, I pay tithing because it’s a commandment.
I’ve known for literally my entire life that the church has commercial investments. That has never been a factor in if I pay tithing.
This is part of the problem. I buy a Tesla cause I want a Tesla. I eat at Chick-fil-A cause I’m hungry. I wear Nike cause it fits. I watch Tom Hanks cause he’s a good actor. I like John Stockton cause he’s the OG.
You don’t have to freaking make everything political.
Deacon’s Quorum advisor just announced that the activity Wednesday is at his house. He’s smoking 7 racks of ribs. We have 8 young men.
The church is true.
This is one topic I swing left on. This is absolutely the way it should be. People that are against this, you do realize it’s not a steak dinner, right? It’s school food. I even go as far as letting their parents eat with them. This helps those that are in need.
I really don’t care if you’re a Democrat or Republican. How you treat others around you tells me what you stand for. Are you generous? Polite? Seek to lift others up? Do you personally strive to be a decent person? Then I don’t even care what your politics are.
New grads usually start at $65,000.
I made an offer for $120,000 salary and to buy him a car.
His response: I just think I’m worth more than that.
1. I think it’s important to not undervalue yourself
2. It’s not necessarily a good play to price yourself out of a market
I know Ute fans are feeling bummed about their team right now. Unfortunately, it could get worse, not that it will. But I witnessed BYU lose to UMASS at home. So it could definitely be worse.
Sorry if I’m happy BYU thumped an ill-prepared Navy and a subpar Troy. But I’m old enough to remember when they lost to UMASS.... at home....
I’m buying what this BYU team is selling.
A new Mormon temple in Idaho is 71,125 square feet. Its limestone flooring was quarried in Bethlehem and wood for its doors was imported from the Congo. It cost $69 million to construct—and is just one small part of a global spending spree.
If you are a BYU fan and you don’t want Utah in the Big XII, I can appreciate the vitriol.
But you’re wrong.
Utah provides a ton of value to the conference. Utah and BYU should be in the same conference.
So you know how on November 23rd of 2019 we all paid $21.99 to watch the BYU/UMASS game on FloSports? Yeah, I kept forgetting to cancel the subscription. That 1 game actually ended up costing me $131.94.
Good news: We probably aren’t going to have to hear about Zach growing up a Ute fan this year.
Bad news: Did you know he drove to SoCal EVERY weekend to train with John Beck to work on his game?
Me: [Forced to pay nearly 40% of my income in taxes]
Libs: It’s for the greater good, we’re supposed to provide for the general welfare
Me: [Voluntary pays 10% off my income in tithing]
Progmo: The church is greedy and robbing us, we need to know exactly what it’s used for!
COVID isn’t all bad. I mean, it did cancel all 14 of my wife’s family Christmas parties with every combination of extended family members. So there’s that.
#blessed
Older man told me I was being rude having my 2 year old in quorum today & that I should take him out because he couldn't hear. Instead of being offended and going inactive I left church with my toddler, went home, got eggs, and egged his front door. How's everyone else's Sabbath?
Unpopular opinion:
It’s possible to treat others with respect and kindness without condoning or affirming their actions or beliefs.
Failure to affirm ≠ hate
It’s obviously awful that so many hockey players, etc, won’t wear pride shirts. But what pisses me off even more is when they won’t wear pride shirts but still INSIST that they don’t hate the LGBTQ community. If you don’t hate the LGBTQ community, wear the shirt!! Simple!!
Unpopular opinion:
College kids aren’t financially illiterate because the public school system failed them. They’re financially illiterate because their parents failed them.
Stop depending on schools to teach life skills. That’s what parents are for.
People saying BYU fans need to calm down because BYU basketball has only played 3 games.
Homie, that’s what fans do. We get excited when we beat a good team on the road. In don’t care when in the season it is.
If my kid’s schools sent out a sign up sheet for dads to volunteer as armed guards for either a morning or afternoon shift, I would suspect every time slot to be filled in a couple days.
