Ethan Miller/Getty Images It was reported yesterday that BYU starting center Brandon Davies was let go from the team for the remainder of the season for violating Brigham Young's honor code.
Today, 1280 The Zone in Salt Lake City is reporting that Davies' girlfriend is pregnant with his child. The honor code does not allow sexual relationships unless you are married, among a hefty list of other rules.
Davies is averaging 11.1 points per game and a team-high 6.2 rebounds, and not having him available for the NCAA tournament will be a major issue for Mr. Fredette and the Cougars.
If and when they meet up with a big-six conference powerhouse, they will need everything they have down low to bang against the other teams' centers.
BYU's backup centers have not played many meaningful minutes this season and expecting them to do so this late into the season is asking a little too much.
Their sophomore forward, Stephen Rogers, is averaging 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in an average of 10 minutes per game. The Cougars' freshman 6'10'' forward/center James Anderson is averaging one point and one-and-a-half rebounds per game in seven minutes of action.
A plan to go with a smaller lineup and to speed their game up more than usual is what BYU is planning on doing with the Davies absence, according to unnamed sources.
Getting away with not having your starting center might fly against the lower seeds, but this all but guarantees they are not going to be able to make a run as deep as many experts have been predicting.
This will also affect their potential seeding in the big dance. As of now they are a projected No. 1 seed, but without one of their key players, the Cougars may fall as low as a No. 3 seed, making the road to the Final Four that much more difficult
I do understand you believe the billions of souls who are not Christians will burn in hell forever, which is not Jesus
Way.
No, you just proved you have no idea what I believe. Try reading that assignment in Romans. You keep coming across as a typical liberal. Are you sure you stumbled into the right website?
What do you belive will happen to those souls who do not accept Christ?
You’ve been trying your best to make this discussion about what I believe regarding Jesus The Christ, The Lord from Heaven. Such a diversion is typical of those who have a sectret agenda. If really want to know the answer to what you just asked, and you’ve looked at what the Bible says in Romans, the first five chapters, then drop me a freep note and I’ll be more than happy to explain in detail what I believe regarding salvation which ONLY comes through Jesus.
I’m not trying to divert anything. I’m trying to find the source of your bigotry towards Mormons.
‘bigotry’ ... no agenda in your posts don’tchaknow! LOL
Bigotry hid in religious self-righteousness is bigotry just the same.
Are you feebly trying to accuse me of ‘self-righteousness’, too? LOL no evidence for an agenda in your posts, no siree!
Well there’s an old saying: you can tell a bigot, but you can’t tell him much.
You are correct in this statement.
It is NOT Jesus' 'way', for Hell was PREPARED for the Devil and his angels.
Humans that find themselves there will have FREJECTED (knowingly) the SALVATION that is found ONLY in JESUS.
THAT, my FRiend, is the WAY.
John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because
they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
The poster called me a bigot, implying he/she/it is not a bigot ... and the antonyms for bigotry are 'broad-mindedness', 'liberalism', 'liberality', 'open-mindedness'.
Being called a bigot by a deceitful poster pretending to be righteous by calling others 'self-righteous' is sort of a badge of honor, to me LC.
Jim, the agenda of the poster and those with whom he/she/it are high fiving is coming through loud and clear and does not smack of honesty. I strongly suspect their ilk will increase their efforts at FR on Mitt's behalf as we draw closer to primaries. There appears to be no other way to blunt the reality of Mitt Romney's Mormonism than to call those opposed to Mormonism 'bigots'. ... How very mormonesque to play the bigot card when exposed. Kind of reminds one of barry the bastard's penchant for playing his race cards ... always through surrogates of course.
Bigotry? The Christian bible teaches us to be suspicious of false prophets/false prophecy. Sorry, but questioning the fact that Mormonism is not included in the Christian bible is not bigotry.
Good Lord, we can’t have any RomneyBots on FR can we?
You make two false assumptions, one that I am a liberal and two that I support Romney.
One thing you do correctly accuse me of is open-mindedness. Good Lord we don’t want too much of that on FR either, do we?
I am a principled Christian, and my principle includes tolerance based on non-judgementalism and the fact that “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.”.
I’ll bet you Sarah Palin would agree with everything I’ve said here.

No foul...
