You won't grow if this shocking turn is just processed through the same little box with the eye-hole cutouts. You need to get out of the box and re-evaluate everything.

      Once again we see that reflection is not a strong suit. You are trying to bend reality and cram it into that little box. This will always hold you back.
      Silence all morning and then this? This is what we get?

        The silence is deafening.

          I think we are going to find out later that the delay we are seeing right now is a consequence of negotiations over what the divisions will look like. Since all the Pac 11 members have to agree to add a new one, someone may be holding up the show to get the division alignment they want.

            I agree. They may also be dickering over revenue sharing, following Texas' precedent. Not as simple as it might seem.

              Story now out that Craig Thompson has said Chris Hill told him Utah had heard nothing from the Pac 10 as of yesterday.

                Please. There's no need. Craig Thompson can surely see the sun.

                            Also, Hill is pretty good about being coy when it comes to these things. I'm gonna trust the sources that say we're going rather than the ones that say we might not...

                              So am I. But damn if I am not rooting for you guys to stay. Not only because of being left behind, but the MWC is shaping up nicely only to have the rug ripped out from under it. Not that I would blame the UofU.

                                So has Colorado actually signed a deal with the PAC? Scott is shrewd as we have all seen. Could the PAC end up saying thanks but no thanks and get away with it?
