I love the students at BYU. I'm also proud of their conduct and achievements. Generally, they're fine representatives of the LDS faith and the standards that its church and BYU uphold.

But on occasion, I want to hang my head in shame for them.

Take the BYU-University of Utah basketball game on March 3, for instance. The gentleman who offered the opening prayer asked that we might remember to be good sports. No sooner had the "amens" been said than the students began booing as the opposing team members were introduced.

Is that good sportsmanshipfi Aren't we better than thatfi That team and their visiting fans were our guests.

Was our students' behavior an example of the way Latter-day Saints typically treat guestsfi I don't think so.

I was embarrassed for both teams.

Personally, I think anybody found booing our guests should be invited to leave the forum because they don't represent what BYU is all about.
