At first I read it as Troy Aikman, but then I thought, What the heck would he be doing at BYU? I'm as puzzled as you are.

And George Lee's shortened term as a GA would be a great drama. Scandal, sex, and minorities. And how about the secret polygamy from the turn of the 20th century? Drama, intrigue, secrecy, lies... what else is needed for a great soap opera? How about Troy Aiken's college years at BYU? Or maybe the Donny Osmond story? (I won't pick on Marie, because she's got more than enough troubles as it is). I've got a 2nd cousin twice removed of the Osmond's in my ward. Maybe they could be a consultant or something. Or maybe a documentary on the Road to the Road Shows? Or singing and dancing with the next music video from the MoTab Choir?

I gotta ask - who's Troy Aiken (google is not helping me figure it out)?

Okay, okay! So I was thinking of Ty Detmer! (Or Jim McMahan would work too).

Steve Young?

Naw. He was Mormon going in. Ty converted; Jim didn't. Either story would be a good movie.

Yeah....but he was still the starting quarterback. If he wasn't scoring (after hours) I'll eat my keyboard.

No mission, that's for sure. The accepted story was that he was too valuable to the church as a well-known sports star. The scuttlebutt was he wasn't worthy. Those of us who worshipped his athletic ability never paid any heed to the latter gossip. We knew he was second only to God in importance.

Certainly feeds my theory that some LDS are more equal than others when it comes to going or not going on missions. Cough*Donny Osmond* cough

And when it comes to where they're assigned to serve their missions. Not too many GA grandsons get sent to Akron, Ohio, or Cochabamba, Bolivia.

GBH: "Isn't it marvelous how God chooses the children of GA's for important mission spots like Miami Beach and Honolulu."

Ah - Ty Detmer. I had an English class with him. Absolutely hated watching him play - he'd launch these wobbly ducks downfield, and only a talented corp of receivers saved his bacon (which would explain his total lack of success in the pros - he doesn't have a strong arm). I was never sure how it was that he got the Heisman. The day he got it the Cougars were playing at Hawaii, and he made a mess of the game because he and his offensive line were drunk during the game. Way to represent!
