BYU football crushed the Colorado State Rams Saturday as LJ Martin, Bear Bachmeier, and Legend Glasker shine in a dominant performance. Yet, controversy erupts as anti-Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chants once again marred the BYU Cougars’ road victory, raising urgent questions about Big 12 Conference accountability and the league’s “zero tolerance” policy. The conversation focused on Colorado State’s public apology, the ongoing issue of derogatory chants at multiple away games—including incidents at Colorado, Cincinnati and during college basketball season—and Kalani Sitake’s call to not let the few speak for the many. A key theme that emerged was an innovative proposal: BYU fans countering hate with “Love the Catholics” and “Love the Baptists” cheers at games against Notre Dame and Baylor. Does this bold move have the power to upend college football fan culture and narrative around BYU?
