The PAC 10 expansion groundswell

[Flystripper]

See, you're already acting like it is not a big deal. Already trying to blunt the heavy emotional blow. But maybe you are kidding, because you don't think this can happen, right?

It is a big deal. It would suck for BYU and its fans if Utah got invited and BYU was left behind in the MWC. That being said, Utah is NOT being invited to the Pac 10 on June 11. They may join the PAC 10 some day but that day is not June 11 and I don't think that it will be announced this year.

Did you read my first post? That isn't indifference, it is scarcely containable anticipation and excitement! Don't worry, I have plenty of pics for when this happens. I've been saving them. They will appear when the moment is right.

Then all my prophecies will be fulfilled, little brother!

I like to think I'm not the only BYU fan who isn't really threatened by the prospect of Utah going to the Pac-11ish, even assuming BYU gets left in the MWC. In fact, such an outcome gives BYU a Jordan-has-the-flu situation every year in the Holy War. If BYU wins, they beat a mighty BCS team. If they lose, well, they were supposed to lose, as they were playing a might BCS team. Win-win for BYU. Lose-lose for Utah.

Utah may go to the PAC-1. I then see them becoming a middle of the conference team, with the chance of going to the Rose Bowl about as often as ASU, WSU, etc. Meanwhile, BYU should continue to field excellent teams that beat the PAC-10 teams with regularity. As long as Bronco is the coach, BYU will be at the forefront of the MWC with yearly opportunities to bust the BCS. TCU will be our biggest nemesis, and perhaps BSU if they replace Utah. And I agree that BYU will have every motivation to take it to the Utes every year.

How's that BCS busting going so far?

The Church teaches that patience and long-suffering are virtues. But hey, I'm happy. I've seen every one of BYU's 43 victories over the past four years. I've seen them beat the Utes 3 of the last 4 years. I've seen them win a National Championship. I've seen them expand a stadium from 30,000 to 65,000 and fill it. I've seen them build state of the art facilities. I've seen top ranked recruits decide BYU is where they'd rather play over prestigious programs. I've seen what Bronco has done and I am certain the BCS busting will come soon. Faith and Hope are also virtues.

Faith and Hope were also the names of two sisters at my high school who slept with just about anyone who bought them a Coke.

In retrospect, I have to agree with you about BYU's chances of busting the BSC increasing should Utah go to the PAC-10. That would be one less team to compete against for the bone thrown to the little guys.

Quite possibly the funniest thing you have ever said.

In French, an easy woman is called a "Marie couche-toi la" which roughly translates to "Mary lay down".

Come to think of it, Utah's slobbering to join with the libs of Cal, Stanford and the like may make Utah a Marie couche-toi la. At least CU is playing hard to get.

I have no problem admitting that. No problem at all.

I'm also expecting the U to wake up in a cheap roadside motel in the middle of nowhere without a ride home.

You can get home doing the same thing that got you to that motel in the first place. Just look for counterflow traffic.

What about the 3rd sister Charity? She seeketh not her own?

There were only 2 sisters. But they have brothers named Ammon, Nephi and Dirk.

Il Pad, you are on a roll tonight. We may not always agree, but keep it coming.
