    There's talk on public radio this morning about the west coast seceding. What happens to Utah's Pac 12 membership if that happens?

        You should also worry about the PNW being re-annexed by Canada.

            A return to the MWC.

            That was simple. Next question.

            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."

              This is interesting:

              PAC-12 football broadcasts doing OK. Everything else in the toilet. Most are watched by (literally) only a few hundred people.

              Regional network model questioned.

                I have the Pac12 network on my cable here. It sucks and is only available in SD. It only shows the local games. So even if there is no other football game on, if it is not USC or UCLA, they don't show it. They would rather show a rerun of a volleyball game than show a live Washinton St or Oregon St game.

                  Yeah, I had the PAC-12 network channels once when AT&T UVerse gave it to me for free. I just checked and now they only offer the following if I am willing to pay extra:

                  PAC-12 Network (Channel 1759)
                  PAC-12 Bay Area (Channel 1760)
                  PAC-12 Los Angeles (Channel 1761)

                  It looks like they dropped all the other regions. Of course, I think most folks would rather watch the Home Shopping Network than PAC-12 Mountain.

                    Yeah, maybe the PAC12 should add BSU and SDSU.

                      It's annoying when they put the BYU vs. Utah basketball game on PAC 12 mtn. They'll probably do that this yeat.

Allegiant makes flying on Southwest feel like a NetJet.

                                Now "their" stadium in Vegas. That is top notch. Other than one time sitting in a suite, it was the most comfortable live viewing experience I've ever had at a FB game
