I am hooked. Any chance I get whatsoever to watch Jimmer play basketball I jump at.
So that you know, some poor sap thought that being excited about how well BYU is playing was getting out of hand. She wrote in to the Daily Universe (BYU's student paper), and complained about how everyone is going nuts over Jimmer and it is turning into a form of idol worship. Idol worship? I hope the italics express adequately how STUPID a comment like that is.
And I am happy to say, that she has since then learned her lesson.
