    I am sure that just like myboynoah you are only trying to help us stay balanced.

        I'm trying give you exposure to various national voices.

          You are supposed to shut up. Now you are embarrassing yourself.

            Utah has made it's choice and there are natural consequences for that choice and it's articles like these.

              I dig it.

              To be fair, this is from a "Yes-our-state-is-in-the-PAC-12-too!!!" publication. Winning and the state of Arizona are not exactly synonymous.

                Ouch. This guy is mean like that SJ Mercury guy.


                The Pac-10 can use a bump in glamour, and especially one at the bank, but I don't see how Colorado or Utah can help either. I'm aware of the negative variables and politics about adding BYU, but the Cougars have a history, a brand and a presence that neither Utah nor Colorado can touch.

                ...
                The most famous man in the history of Utah sports is Rick Majerus. Big dude. Lived in a hotel. Told lots of funny stories. If Utah enters the Pac-10, can it arrange to get Majerus back?
                ...
                If Colorado is vanilla ice cream, Utah is snow melting on the sidewalk.

                ...
                Beebe grew up in Walla Walla, Wash., attended school in Southern California and absorbed the culture of Pac-10 sports. In his letter to Big 12 insiders, Beebe wrote:

                "I grew up in Pac-10 territory, and although there are outstanding institutions, the facilities and fair-weather fans are a disappointment. I suggest their fan support, and the accompanying image it projects, should be carefully examined."

                Fair-weather fans? Empty seats? Is that really how the rest of the world views the Pac-10?

                With Colorado coming in, and Utah apparently on the way, Beebe might be right.

                  It's no wonder you're a fan of this guy, Greg Hansen:

                  Maybe Utah needs a better softball program.

                    Wow, those comments hit close to home for me, growing up in SLC. Of course looking at the positives, by that statement Utah is a perfect fit for the PAC 12.

                      Various national voices (that happen to be LDS and have long track records of being pro-BYU).
