        His wife needs to quite with the boob jobs. Those things are three cup sizes past natural.

          Her face? interesting. I'll have to check that out sometime.

            Here is something that would put a large smile on my face.

            Find out which University(ies) in the PAC10 blocked BYU's admittance and then have the church give an official annoucement, not one of those counsel announcements, but one of those "thus saith the Lord" announcements.

            Have it say, since xyz University(ies) blocked BYU's admittance to the PAC10 and other Universities in the PAC 10 went along, all members are instructed to never, ever under any circumstances donate in any ways shape or form to these Universities. Since we allow members to work in Casino's, at the present time we are not asking members to quit their jobs if they work for said Universities.

              So that would be a commandment, not counsel; correct?

                I've said it before and I will say it again. If Utah goes Pac 12, the first year they will do no worse than 2nd in football. The second year, they will take the division. Utah will cut through that league like hot butter in the beginning.
                My thoughts are similar along this line. I think the Utes will be competitive, particularly in a divisional format. As a fan, all I hope for each year is that we are competitive in every game we play. I hope that we always win , but that is not realistic. Having a chance to win every game is not unrealistic however, and for the last 3 years, I can only think of 2 games that we were not competitive(TCU last year and UNLV 2007). I hope Utah gets the invite to see how we compete against all of these schools that are considered higher profile.

                I don't understand the thought process that says I would rather finish first in a weaker conference than 3rd in a stronger conference.

                  The nice thing is you can go 8-4 win your divisional title, and if you pull an upset in the Pac-10 title game you are in a BCS bowl. Right now if you go 8-4 hello Poinsettia bowl!

                    You also have a chance at the Holiday(not necessarily at 8-4 but maybe at 9-3) or Sun Bowl which is an upgrade as well.

                    I think my biggest(possibly only) gripe about MWC FB is the bowl tie ins. If you can't get a shot at a BCS game, the highest profile team that we can play is the Veg against 4/5th from the Pac-10.

                      Exactly. I see a few BYU fans post that if Utah jumps to the PAC-10 they would rather stay in the MWC than move to the Big-12 because staying in the MWC would provide an easier path to a BCS game. I just can't get behind that logic at all.

                          Maybe the rivalry game will move the the Veg.

                            That is the ONLY positive I see for a Utah move and BYU staying home. The irony would be delicious.

                              At least the stadium would sell out for the game.
