    Ute fans need only peruse the PAC boards to see how they are accepted. I hope non-LDS Ute fans know the definition of irony.

      Pretty well I would say.

        If Utah and Colorado were the only rumored teams from the beginning then people would be indifferent. But when you had Texas, Oklahoma, etc. on the cusp of joining your conference and you end up with Colorado and Utah its a bit of a kick in the nuts.

            You too? No dignity. So now we see, they'd have to drag you too weeping and raging to the guillotine. You sound like this:

            It marks the beginning of the end of our interaction with Ute fans.

            Little brother finally moved away, found a job, and is starting his own family.

            No more stupid "Holy War" games. All that fake outrage crap of that faux rivalry is dissolving away.

            All these Ute fans will slink away to boards of their replacement rivals, whoever that might be. Washington State. Colorado.

            It's like having a giant blood-sucking tick removed from your ass. Sit down and relax friend, we are free of these maggots once and for all! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST!

                Can we just call this cougarforum now? cougaruteforum is just awkward.
                At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

                • New news:

                  Utah and the Pac couldn't finalize terms early enough for the vote today. There are a few issues still out there. They believe they will have a vote at 7:30 tomorrow and then a dog and pony show at 3:30 with everyone invited. Right now all is a go. Only concern is the disgust the Pac, particularly Cal, has with BYU. Cal representatives expressed that they would have rather left the Pac-10 than let BYU in because of the religious issues they have with BYU. It is possible that if Cal finds out how LDS the U really is, they may dig in their heels.

                  The condition regarding expansion of the stadium by 20K is confirmed. The North stands would need $100 mil. because of the road and the renovation of the field house but the south stands already have the foundation to support the new seats.

                  The U made a condition that they would be allowed to schedule BYU whenever they wanted in the season (similar to USC/ND scheduling). So far, the Pac is very, very happy with the product they are getting.

                    I tried to help you all. I tried to tell you this. I said it ten years ago on CB and everyone hooted at me. I tried to help BYU, God knows.

                        'Help' as in a mass temple-recommend burning? It's not about softening stances or removing appearances, what you or anyone suggested 10 years ago was irrelevant and wouldn't have mattered 30 years ago.

                        • The PAC 12 is getting a sweet deal with Utah. Good thing CU brings things down a bit.

                            I think everyone was aware of the hatred BYU was receiving from those who are supposedly tolerant. BYU, as an organization, would rather be itself and hated than something else and loved. You should just hope the Pac doesn't realize how "cheek by jowl" these two schools really are. The RFI didn't ask about Institute, maybe it should have.
