    There was a blogger with all the proposed new names for the pac16

    The #1 was

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        But you'd still think there'd be a "breaking news" ticker or something, just like they have on TV.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          I have found ESPN.com to be very slow in breaking any sort of news.

                Can't you be satisfied that it is currently running on the "breaking news" ticker on the TV right now?

                  I think BYU and Utah's only hope of staying relevant is if only the Pac - 16 and the Little - 16 go to 16 team leagues. If the ACC and SEC and somehow the Big East stay normal the new conference that BYU and Utah potentially join could stay relevant.

                    I'm satisfied. I just want to be included and I don't have access to a tv right now.

                      Makes sense. Thanks!

                      In any case, the realignment can't be any worse than what we currently have, which is basically irrelevancy. BSU and UU go undeafeted multiple times and don't even get consideration for being the national champ. Hopefully we get some good teams to the MWC and get the BCS auto-bid that disappears with the Big XII.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

                        the problem is a lot of this expansion doesn't make sense if there is only one auto bid per 16-team league. I think there's a good chance that the super conferences will find a way to get another auto bid instead of leaving one lying on the table.

                          What we really need is an agreement with the Fiesta Bowl now that they have an opening. Would love to secure that!

                              At the very least, they should be able to get the Holiday Bowl back!
