SU feeling really emboldened by that 2 seed. I don't blame you, SU. Congrats!Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

SU, which PAC 12 team are your rooting for? All of them? Or just Arizona?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Originally posted by jay santos View PostI think this is a decent idea. If Gonzaga leaves, we're effed. At that point, if we need to, we need be ready to drop independence in football and let our football program win us the best spot possible. Football rules the day in conference affiliation. So we should maximize that advantage for all sports.Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

I get why fans don't like this development, but it's not obvious to me that the BYU administration would view this as a very negative development. Sure, there is pass through via fans becoming less interested. So if they think that effect is big, they may be worried, but I'm guessing they don't expect much of a dropoff in interest. My sense of BYU administration is they are almost always happy to lose revenue on the margin for more control, influence, or freedom to do things their way or get their way on the margin. So you lose some prestige in men's and women's basketball with the Zags leaving and not much in other sports. Doesn't the marginal gain in influence and control offset those other loses for the powers that be at BYU?Last edited by pelagius; 03-13-2018, 03:21 PM.
