Basketball at USU
Dear Editor,I am writing in response to the bone-headed comments written by your staff following the USU/BYU basketball game. I read a column by Casey Hobson that demonstrates how your staff tries to make news, not report it. The whole thrust of this column was how stupid we, USU fans, are. “That’s when stupidity reached a new height. ” This is a direct quote from your paper. “But if this many come out, I’ll live with it,” is what Coach Morrill said about it. Why is the Statesman, in 2 seperate articles, stiring up a controversy? There is a current movement to restore the “A” to the hill, in the name of tradition. Let your uneducated writers know that the ‘toilet paper’ is also a tradition, one that got us on Sportscenter. If Mr. Hobson is that incensed at the USU fans’ actions then we should ban him from the Spectrum. The fans at USU are the greatest 6th man in the conference. If the team isn’t worried about it then why are you? If you think this is the dumbest thing to happen at the Spectum then permit me a breif history lesson. We have had everything from nude pin-up to streakers during games. And let us not forget the grand-daddy of them all, the paint bomb in the air vent. If the Statesman is going to trash USU students then I think you should at leaset get your facts straight, we can be alot more stupid, after all we read you paper!
