    • LDS anti-intellectualism has always been so loathsome.

          But without SU my sad little cramped view of the world would be narrower still.

            You mean until your two top schools left?
            A minor detail.

              • Houston wasn’t the best add to the Big12. They have a great basketball program but their football program isn’t great and they have a middling following in the city. They are maybe 3rd in fans behind UT and aTm but LSU likely has as many real fans.

                However, when compared to SMU, Houston is light years better and the potential of Houston is five times greater. Adding SMU to the Pac is downright weird and stupid.
                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                  Although, in fairness, maybe they get it out of their systems when they flock in droves over to BYU's fan sites.

                    Talk about BYU or the Big 12.

                    Ute fans don't give a shit about BYU or the Big 12.

                    You all have such a sad little cramped view of the world.

                                I agree! Which is exactly why the P12 is in such a precarious position right now. Dumb university presidents who think world university rankings, etc matter when it comes to a football conference. Now they are looking at SMU and SDSU just to survive. Lol.

                                You know who doesn't care about academic rankings when it comes to football? Network executives.
