Bernard is out at BYU

[ironman1315]

Welcome to the U son (I am just assuming this is the case).

[Utah]

He finally gets to play at his dream school. 

[EagleMountainUte]

His brother was a walk on with Utah from what I gathered? Why didn’t he attend Utah in the first place?

[ironman1315]

No offer from Utah.

[Utah]

This. Utah was his #1 but Utah wanted him to walk on as a LB. 

byu offered a scholarship as a RB. 

He wanted to play RB so he went to BYU.

Kalani made a statement earlier this month about how Wells’ denial of Joe Tukuafu’s (sp?) transfer was wrong and that he would never deny a transfer for one of his athletes. Makes me wonder if he’ll backtrack if Bernard wants to come to Utah.

He’ll look like a major hypocrite if he does.

A lot of BYU fans are having to do some Olympic-level mental gymnastics right now to justify a denial of transfer when they were spewing vitriol at Matt Wells for doing the exact same thing.

Hilarious.

[EagleMountainUte]

The mental gymnastics TDS fans do everyday to be a fan are like zero gravity level stupid.

[Chidojuan]

Man, CB is lighting up over this. To the point of people probably going less active over a forum post.

[ironman1315]

I saw one guy jump ship over to us because of it.

[EagleMountainUte]

The way the situation with Bernard was handled is odd to me. Maybe I am believing Jay Drew which I don’t totally do at all.  That article threw heavy shade on TDS which I can see the brothers perspective but it still is just his viewpoint.  Truth is usually somewhere in between what people actually perceive to be true.  

[RedLine]

They act like transferring to Utah is legally misconduct.  Harvey Longi switched colors to blue as well as others post mission.  But somehow switching colors to red must be immediately addresed in their eyes. 

[RiseasUtes]

They have Lee and Tonga on their team right now.  Both were signed with and left Utah for BYU.  

[Puget Ute]

And both are in the 2-deep and will get significant playing time. At Utah they would have been buried in the roster.

[EagleMountainUte]

Funniest thought I just had about this.  Bernard>>>Langi.  Hopefully Bernard says he just wants to have more options when it comes to his haircut when he announces the news. 

[ironman1315]

It appears BYU is backtracking and trying to hold out hope. But I’m not convinced.

[EagleMountainUte]

I just love the distraction it brings to the TDS coaching staff really.  Honor code is so ridiculously stupid and I am LDS.  The whole rape scandal should have shut the damn thing down.  

[UteFanatic]

I like that they are distracted. I hope it affects their football team and makes them lose games. 🙂

[EagleMountainUte]

After they lose to Utah the gray matter I used on TDS will most likely be allocated to something else.  

[UteFanatic]

They deleted this tweet. Wonder why?

[ironman1315]

LB Francis Bernard reportedly 'moving forward' with plans to leave BYU.

Haha some of my TDS friends:”Repentance isn’t for everyone…”

 

[ironman1315]

Seriously?….Seriously?

Until the deserted news reports the story it is not fact.

Official Sitake statement

[EagleMountainUte]

A lot of options? Other than burning down the honor code office I don’t see any options where he stays.

[EagleMountainUte]

Head Coach, Defensive coordinator not on the same page? If Scalley said crap like that and then Whitt said something else that would p**s me off as a fan.
