These are good photos. Here's where Randy Bennett's team plays at home now:



(It's also where BYU will be playing one game a year now.)

And here's where he would be playing at Utah:



I am glad he might be willing to take the conference downgrade to the PAC12.

Here is where he would be playing at Utah:

Randy Bennett and Dave Rose have this in common. A tendency to be second fiddel in their respective conferences except for occastional break throughs. But since St. Mary's has no business being on any kind of map I think that's a huge achievement for Bennett.

BYU will vanish into the WCC post-Jimmer.

Another thing they have in common: Utah would love for either to be their new head coach.

Dave Rose is second fiddle to who in the MWC?

4 titles in 5 years.

He said second Fiddel. I think it was a reference to Raul Castro, the guy who is now in charge of Cuba.

I agree he isn't second fiddle in the MWC, but how many of those titles were outright?

Considering the MWC has the worst tie breaking rules in college sports. We are splitting hairs when talking about outright titles. SDSU won a piece of the MWC title this year even though BYU beat them twice.

Here is where he would be playing at Utah:

I don't get whats so funny. Do you see those smoke machines? How awesome is that? Do you know how much it costs to buy and operate one of those bad boys? Yeah, I didn't think so. If Utah were struggling financially, they could not afford to run of those awesome things before games. Utah totally rocks. BYU smells like socks.

Now that you will be in the P12, please leave the MWC vernacular of "outright conference titles" in the MWC.

The smoke machines are nothing compared to the cost of those extension cords. I have been to Home Depot a time or two and cords that long are not cheap.

That picture is funny.

Nice non-answer. By the way the correct answer is 2.

Dave Rose is second fiddle to who in the MWC?

4 titles in 5 years.

The past three years, in the heart of the Jimmer epoch, Rose has been second fiddle to Utah, New Mexico, and SDS, in the same St. Mary's has been second fiddle to Gonzaga.

Also, Rose is 1-4 in the NCAA Tournament.

I'm on record saying I don't want Rose at Utah. I'd rather have Stew.

I met up with a friend in Vegas very close to the USU program. When I mentioned Stew possibly taking the Utah job, he literally laughed out loud.

See now you are entering cougjunkie territory where you are making statements so outlandish that no one is going to think you honestly believe what you are saying. Stew over Rose is an indefensible position. Kind of like taking the position that Dave Rice is a better candidate than Gottfried and RBennett.
