    Please explain how such a sad episode should be used so facetiously.
    Nobody is making light of this dark chapter in our country's history. In any event, I have understood B 12 expansion is an important issue to you all, and in fact my point has been that there are serious issues that need to be addressed by BYU that transcend fan base. Sorry if you take offense.

      Please tell me you said that with a straight face. Perhaps you value conference affiliation differently than I do.

        That's all Utah fans value. They like conference affiliation better than their own team. #gopac12
        Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

          You are misrepresenting that picture. Everyone on that picture was evacuated. Also, I'm not sure the successful and unprecedented American evacuation of all Americans in Saigon and hundreds of thousands of refugees to the United States can be fairly characterized as "sad".

          Your avatar picture is disgusting. Who is that? Jeffrey Dahmer?

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

                • SeattleUte steps into the B12 thread, starts trying to throw some weight around and subsequently gets his a** handed to him by Bo Diddley. He also incorrectly references Hanoi. lol. Time for SU to excuse himself and retreat quietly to Burma. Or Siam.

                  • Adding UCF will help Kansas State

                    http://jugofsnyder.com/2015/07/09/bi...-kansas-state/

                    Central Florida is a breeding ground for top athletes and an area Kansas State would love to sink their recruiting teeth into. UCF has cultivated their program with 3-star athletes, some JUCO transfers, and hand-fulls of high school recruits that aren’t on any national radar. Does any of this sound familiar Kansas State fans?
                    I am sure perennially ranked Kansas State is sleepless with anticipation over the thought of replicating the success of Central Florida.

                    This passage is particularly emblematic of the journalistic chops on display here:

                    Getting Kansas State football into the city of Orlando is actually the much bigger deal when it comes to adding UCF to the Big 12. One of the top tourist destinations on the planet, there’s a lot of revenue to be gained and of course, more money for the Big 12 equals more money for Kansas State. By the way, the Big 12 is the only conference of the “power 5″ that does not have a school located in Florida.
                    Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

                      The day BYU gets an invitation to a big conference I will be here admitting I was wrong, just as I did about the Hanoi typo.

                      • Stop the flight tracking, Colorado State

                        http://www.coloradoan.com/story/spor...-big/29969299/

                        Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.CSU's exodus from the Mountain West to a Power 5 conference appears to be further away than some have hoped.
                        Formal digital communication between Colorado State University and the Big 12 doesn't exist.
                        Earlier this week I intended to write a column looking at the pros and cons of schools the Big 12 could consider should it choose to expand: CSU, Boise State, Brigham Young, Houston, and the most likely candidate, Cincinnati. In preparing to do so, I contacted CSU's public relations office to ask the question I have regularly since December 10, 2014.
                        "Has CSU had any communication with conferences other than the Mountain West about membership?"
                        CSU said it doesn't comment on speculation. That prompted me to file an open records request Wednesday morning to see if there has been any digital communication to or from the Big 12 office and CSU.
                        That request was returned Friday morning, informing me what I was looking for doesn't exist.

                          Okay but you have to do this EVEN if you have depositions.
