will be making the announcement...........if true..........about independence. Sounds like that new little building at BYU will do wonders for BYU and BYU athletics. Pretty brilliant move.

And a good use of tithing funds. Thanks LA Ute, MRD, and other ALUFs (including all those widows) for making BYU's football independence an economic reality!Originally posted by Hallelujah View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Just Kidding.
BTW do I thank all the Utah resident byu fans for help (taxes) getting Rice Eccles stadium to be top notch?"Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

I'm waiting for the decision to come. I can see it now. A nice interview with Tom Holmoe and Holly Rowe, talking about football, what the MWC has meant to us, followed by Holmoe gracefully looking into the camera and stating:Originally posted by Hallelujah View Post
"Starting in the 2011 season. Whew. This is hard. Starting in the 2011 football season, BYU will be taking its talents independent."
Holly Rowe: "Independent is the conclusion that you woke up with this morning after fasting and prayer?"
TH: "You know, we feel like this if going to give us the best opportunity to win, and win for multiple years. And you know, not to just win in the regular season and win five games in a row, but to win championships.... You know, I can't say it was always in my plans, because I never thought this was possible. But the revenue and the crappy TV that the Mtn had us in put us in a position where it was hard to turn down."
HR: "How do you explain this to the other teams in the MWC?"
TH: "Uh... Uh... it's heartfelt for me. It's hard to explain, but the 11 years we gave to that conference, to those teams, was everything. We'll be grateful. We never wanted to leave those teams and our heart will always be around that area, but I've also felt like the greatest challenge for me is to move on."Comment

When I used to pay Utah state income taxes I would write on the bottom of the tax form (TC-40?)

I thought the stadium funds came out of State Liquor Store profits.Originally posted by Eddie Jones View PostComment
