    Yes it would leave BYU on an island still, but it isn't like they aren't used to it.  In fact, they'll probably prefer it.  With the PAC lacking exposure, BYU will probably end up sitting on a recruiting goldmine. 

    Yup. I think most BYU fans would love to see Utah left behind and rot in obscurity, especially after we recently found out Utah stabbed BYU in the back when we were working on going independent. These two schools used to respectfully cooperate during the LaVell and McBride era, but once Urban Meyer took over and did douchey, petty stuff like not mentioning BYU by name ("the school down south") and putting BYU stickers in urinals, the tone forever changed. Kyle Whittingham went to the dark side and kept some of that petty stuff going, although not to the same degree as Meyer, who is up there in doucheyness. And now with the whole "we P12" elitist mentality these guys are insufferable. So we now say to Utah 🖕 and good riddance. Max Hall said it best:

    I shouldn't, but I do.  People mock others who chose not to drink for religious reasons but now that I'm an alcoholic literally killing my own liver (I drink a 12 pack of 9% a day), I kind of wish I never touched alcohol, as fun as it seemed at the time.  It's cutting my time short.  

    Hope you get it figured out brother

  3. Utah's whole identity is the P12 and that they have been a "peer" of Stanford, Cal, UCLA, UW, etc. When they got into the P12 you saw P12 stickers on cars all over the place. Driving from Utah County (where Provo is located) north to the neighboring Salt Lake County with Salt Lake City in it, there was a billboard placed just inside the county line stating "Welcome to P12 country". 

    This is a very confusing and scary time for Utah, so be patient with them as they process the stages of grief.

    ... and Utah fans (especially Utah fans) are detached from reality.

    ...Utah fans have forgotten they were a MWC afterthought a little over a decade ago and have the same belief as Colorado fans that it's just a matter of time until the B1G decides they must bring them onboard.  Judging by the way they look down at the Big 12 they have taken very well to the Pac 12's coastal elitism...

    It's nice when you are not the only one that sees it.

    Fuck Colorado.  After going to a game in Boulder, they became my most disliked school in the Big XII by a mile.  Their fans were the absolute worst I've ever encountered anywhere.  My wife, who is not a passionate fan like I am, turned to me when we got back in the car and said, "We will never step foot on that campus ever again...I have a completely new opinion about CU now."  

    When they left for the PAC, I said good riddance.

    Let the Big XII take the two Arizona schools, get to 14, and then wait and watch what happens to the ACC.  I would love to get NC State and VA Tech to the Big 12.

    I'm on board with this. Let Utah rot and the only thing that intrigues me about Colorado is Deion, but who knows how long he will be there.

    Have you ever had BBQ other than Dickey's? Because that shit above looks Iike Dickey's. Also, no Texas BBQ joint uses a pig as their logo. That's Carolina BBQ, yo.

    Ur such a hater cherry picking the worst possible pics lol

    I've eaten excellent BBQ in Dallas, Austin, Houston, Kansas City, Nashville, Memphis, and more btw.

    Here are some better pics of Bam Bams:

    Tell me you've never been to Provo without telling me you've never been to Provo. You can be in the mountains in 30 minutes from the SLC airport and never have to set foot in that shitty town.

    Tell me you've never been to many other college towns without telling me you've never been to many other college towns.

    Utah County sucks unless you're a connoisseur of shitty chain restaurants and LaVell Edward has the lamest tailgate and gameday atmosphere in D1 football. 

    Yes, almost every chain restaurant is here, but there are plenty of great food options. Tons of variety. Lot of great places if you actually look. Bam Bams BBQ can hold its own with some of the best BBQ joints in Texas. Not kidding. 

    Yeah there aren't a lot of bars in Provo but there are plenty in Salt Lake and between Salt Lake and Provo (try Bohemian Brewery). You could also stay in Park City for the weekend and drive an hour to the game. 

    Tailgating here is weak but improving. Atmosphere in the stadium during the game is upper tier. Better than an old guy in a jet pack. You got fire knife performers?

    We have the best college mascot (Cosmo) in all of college. Our dancers are the best in college, too (perennial national champs).

    Ehh.  Give me engaged crowds and fanbases every day.  The Pac 12 and it's vacation spots are absolutely floundering as a college sports entity, while the flyover Big 12 is finding solid footing.

    I love to go to the mountains, but I tend to do it when people aren't playing college sports.

    This times one-fucking-billion. As soon as someone claims Ann Richards had fuck all to do w/ Baylor joining the BXII I know that they don't know shit about what happened at the end of the SWC/formation of the BXII.

    Bob Bullock, David Sibley, Pete Laney and Rob Junnell were the Texas politicos who made sure Baylor and Tech didn't get left behind. Google is your friend. Ann didn't care one iota what happened to Baylor. Hell, if she was in Waco for any speaking engagement or official business at Baylor she was almost guaranteed to be wearing burnt orange or Longhorn jewelry. 

    There is BYU lore out there that BYU had a shot at joining the B12 back in the day, but that Richards kept us out for more Texas schools / Baylor.

    If anyone here actually knows what really happened, then I am all ears.

    The networks and the Big time programs both want conference consolidation. The networks would rather just broadcast marquee games. Big time programs like the idea of the giant pie of cash being cut into fewer and fewer pieces, thus increasing their share. But in the last thirty years the only legit consolidation was when the BIG8 added the four good Texas schools and shed the dead weight of TCU, SMU and Coug High. And then when the Big East money makers joined the ACC. But it now in order to stay relevant, the BIG12 had to let TCU back into the party, and now adding UH, Cincy and UCF the numbers of schools in the major conferences is growing not shrinking. Soon the PAC12 may replace USC & UCLA with SDSU & SMU. Its going in the wrong direction!

    Exactly. White coaches shouldn't say it. Black coaches shouldn't say it. Nobody should. Everything about it except the 3.5 GPA and never take a QB with a mullet is discriminatory and just flat wrong. Thing is there's very little chance he actually goes by that philosophy, with all the resources available to D1 scouting and recruiting it's madness if you don't evaluate the individual and just go by a metric. He's such an idiot he probably thinks that makes him sound smart and edgy.

    Just when I want to pull for the guy he goes and reminds me he's a piece of shit. He's a racist, discriminatory, dumb ass piece of shit just as bad as any racist white good ol boy coach. Giving him a pass because he's black needs to stop. 

    Deion didn't mention race in his comments. Other people are assuming there is a racial component here. Who is the racist? 

    Is it really unreasonable that when you are recruiting for a position that requires leadership and must deal with a high degree of complexity under duress and with speed, that you should look for markers of intelligence and maturity? 

    And BTW, the Super Bowl just featured two black QBs from dual parent situations.

    Yeah, i don't even think B1G money is enough.   Florida will make about $450m more than FSU over 13 years.   FSU is looking at $470m in a GoR PLUS $120m buyout.  There just isn't a number big enough to make it make sense until 2036.

    When you sum the differences over a period of time the difference in money between these schools is incredible. 

    BTW, one of the reasons I'm on this board is because of intelligent, enlightening posts that you (and some others) post here.
