One more comment. I think this is probably the most successful BYU sports related internet trolling attempt ever.
I'd give that honor to Bronco Mendenhall's "Spirit, Tradition, Honor" uniform idea.
I'm pretty sure that was genuine Bronco and not an internet trolling attempt. And yes, it was a silly idea, as bad as the year the utes put "utah" on both the front and the back of the basketball uniforms.
They put Utah on the front and back? I would have thought they'd have "Pac-12" there instead!

this happened before they were in the P12, but good point.

Man, he wasn't even asked about the Utah rumor. Too bad. It would have been fun to hear him say he'd never go to Utah. I'm starting to think this was pretty much just an internet rumor and those who don't follow the message boards mostly never even heard it.

Or you can just hear what Mika himself has to say:

Latest rumor is that Mika has now enrolled in 1 class for spring semester.

I predict that the next false rumor started by a ute will be that Mika was all set to transfer but somehow BYU pulled off some dirty trick to keep him, like giving him money or something. Stay tuned.

Free socks....its all about the free socks.

One more comment. I think this is probably the most successful BYU sports related internet trolling attempt ever. Wannabeaute (the guy who started the rumor) should go into the annoying yewt troll hall of fame. He even got Gonzaga fans a few months ago to put their own spin on it and start talking about Mika transferring to them.

The original post that started it:

http://www.utefans.net/message.php?id=1726938

Keep in mind that in this original version of the rumor from nearly a year ago it doesn't say Mika will transfer when he comes home. It actually said Mika was ALREADY home (a year early from his mission) and was going to be playing for utah. Obviously he didn't come home early.

And here is one of the refutations of the rumor from the poster who started it:

http://www.utefans.net/message.php?id=1815171

BYU fans should stop spreading it. By giving it credibility when it was meant only as a joke makes us look like we don't think we're as good as Utah if one of our own who happens to be a great player wants to leave for our rival, no less.

And Utah fans are just pretty dumb to talk about it also because Mika has no interest in Utah. He's not going there, and making this into a big rumor is only going to look in the end like Mika rejected them because they're not good enough for him.
