That actually is not bad at all. Simply not having three digits in your rank is a huge plus. ^_^

Idaho would be 10x cooler if it wasn't desolate in terms of smashers. >_<

I've been to BYU-I, it is terrible. It is surrounded by nothing. You can pretty much see the whole state standing on a can of tuna.

Any private school is horrible, especially when that private school is there because of religion. Such debates are bad though, especially on an internet forum, so I'll just leave it at that for now...
Anyway... I have some bad news, and some good news:
Bad news: I have a friend that just had a pretty bad accident at work. Basically his left leg got completely crushed and he might lose feeling in it for the rest of his life. He's not at any other physical risk though, nothing life-threatening or anything like that.
Good news: This friend is the one that was getting married the 18th. That means I have a tournament day off with not to do but attend that tournament, so I'll be there!
As for Orem/Provo, there are loads of people around here that play Smash, but only me, CdBobo, and (bairly) DontStopLaughing are active here (online). Without needing be said, all other Smash players aren't nearly as good because they've never really touched the meta-game of Smash. I, myself, have a pretty stong Smash loving crew I play with regularly, pretty good Luigi, Ganon, Samus, and Fox players, but they're all inactive from the tournament scene... I don't know why... they're just too lame I guess. I will also most likely be leaving the Utah scene forever when I'm done with school in approximately one year, but that's a long time away, so who knows.

Lol, good try but BYU isn't a private school.
Yeah, I really miss the mountains. I mean, I love going to school here. It's got great programs for Buzz and I, but we can't wait to get to a REAL city!

Whoever can find me an uber job first gets the Buzz couple to smash with for an eternity.

So Singles is BEFORE Doubles? Why the change this time?
And I feel for your friend, Layne; getting into a situation like that, and to make it worse, having it be less than two week from one's wedding.

They might have some jobs in IF, even.
This goes for you SLC kids, too. If you need my name and employee number, I'll be glad to give you a good reccomendation!
You do realize it's required to be housed in BYU approved housing and that seminary attendance is required? Earrings, tattoos, even different hair colors are more than enough to kick you. BYU is an LDS run school, hence, its run privately. It makes its own rules rather than following the standard college conventions. While an excellent school in many regards, it's still a school that revolves around religion, and that is a horrible thing.http://unicomm.byu.edu/about/default.aspx?content=admissions-policy said:
I'm not trying to bash the school or anything (I guess I actual am...), I'm an art major myself, and BYU blows most colleges out of the water with their art program.

LOL @ Wikipedia
Who on earth told you that BYU is a public school? All the BYU campuses ("campi"?) have private written all over them. They have extremely strict rules, admission processes, etc.
lengeta, I'm just curious as to why a school that revolves around religion is so horrible.

College is to increase your education, and to earn a degree you can shake around to demand more money from employers. Religion has nothing to do with that. Sure, it's fine to study religion, research history on it and how it effects people and communities in different ways. The problem is when you have a school privately funded, they force their beliefs on you. I don't care what any of you have to say on the matter, but mass religion spreads through brain-washing. They teach faith rather than logic and critical thinking, and you must heed the words of other members while completely dismissing what anyone has to say with even a slightly different view. Look at how Mormonism tells you not to read ANY anti-Mormom literature because it's just lies; what is that telling you in reality? Stop thinking, stop questioning, conform.
My grips here aren't necessarily directed at the LDS though, it's all mass religions, Mormons are really just the only religion visible in Utah Valley. IMO, religion is very personal, between you, God, or whatever your personal beliefs are. I'll decide for myself what to believe, not take truth from a book thousands of years old that's been edited thousands of times to keep commoners under command of church and state, or from yet another zealot spout how they're right and everyone else is wrong. I learned how to think critically in school, and I plan to apply these skills in every facet of my life, including religion.
BYU is an awesome school, and you'll definitely have a lot to gloat about holding a degree from there, I'm not throwing that into question. I just hate some of their practices. Lets leave it at that though, this sort of discussion doesn't need to take place here, where everyone has to read everything.

woot. I was actually going to drive this time lengeta but hey, if you're goin'... and besides, I don't talk too well whilst I drive so we can have the BYU is awesome but also blows discussion now. I'll get ahold of tjrook and see if he can make the tourney (doubtful) and so we may be getting more people than we planned for ( )

That reminds me. I do visit Utah quite often (At least 3 or 4 times a year). I'd love to forewarn you guys of one of my little visits so that we could smash sometime. My visits are usually exclusively to Salt Lake City and Provo, more-so Salt Lake City.
