    Not if you listen Adam Carolla and Norm MacDonald podcasts.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      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.

      • "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

        • ‘Kevin Spacey has set gay rights back’: Actor blasted for response to sexual misconduct claim

          “Coming out stories should not be used to deflect from allegations of sexual assault,” GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “This is not a coming out story about Kevin Spacey, but a story of survivorship by Anthony Rapp and all those who bravely speak out against unwanted sexual advances.”

          Even worse, they said, was the implication that the two paragraphs in his statement might be related in any way.

          “Kevin Spacey has set gay rights back fifty years by a) conflating homosexuality with” Rapp’s allegations, one Twitter user said, “and b) Saying that being gay is a ‘choice.’ ”
          Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                • Yes, they foresaw you speaking out and issued a warrant for your arrest eight months in advance.

                  Still, a felony arrest warrant for drugs for personal belongings left on a flight?

                  • Andy Dick was trending today. I thought he must've died, but no, he got fired from his most recent gig (I can't remember his last one, thinking 10 plus years ago?) due to allegations of sexual assault. Just fyi, after reading through some tweets it seems he denies assaulting anyone but does admit that he has "licked" a few people's faces.

                      Come on. Who hasn't done that a time or two?

                      • For some reason twitter links don’t always work for me. Anyway today it’s Dustin Hoffman being accused of “repeatedly groping” a 17 year old on a 1985 film set.

                          He also gave Phil Hartman's wife, who was in recovery at the time, drugs. He's a pretty repellent individual.

                            • Not surprisingly, lots of Kevin Spacey abuse stories coming out now. So much for the "I must have been drunk" defense.

                              • I've been saying this for some time now...

                                Pretty much every man ever has the potential to be accused of being guilty of "sexual assault", because the line and definition is being moved. What is "unwanted sexual advances"? I have an acquaintance that says claims she was "sexually assaulted" because she had a classmate ask her out to dinner 3 different times. The social outrage was so great that she is going to talk to an advisor at school to get counseling.

                                Now this is a far cry from Weinstien obviously, but it is now on the forefront of everyone's mind.

                                The biggest problem that I have with all of this is...proof. It is typically hearsay. Someone accuses someone, they are automatically guilty. No longer innocent until proven guilty, you are guilty if accused. Period.

                                1. Kevin Spacey was accused.
                                2. SAME DAY, Netflix cancels House of Cards after Season 6 that is currently being shot.
                                3. Netflix issues a SAME DAY statement announcing how they will keep everyone safe from Kevin Spacey. SAME DAY!

                                There is no burden of proof for a majority of this stuff. The serial predators are going to be legitimatized by the vast amount of accusers, but the one-off's are done. Careers are over.

                                The hypocrisy of the whole thing is that Kevin Spacey won an Academy Award in 1999 for American Beauty. He played a 42 year old man who sexually fantasized about his teenage daughters best friend.

                                1999 - Kevin Spacey portrays a man who is a predator of an underage child - Hollywood says "Academy Award".

                                2017 - Kevin Spacey is accused of being a predator of an underage child in 1986. - Hollywood says "die".

                                It's going to get much much worse folks.
