  • Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      • Also, I won't believe anything until that guy from Minnesota who knows everything the Big 10 thinks says something about it. Obviously he would know first.

        • I am fine with Independence. I have never been BIG 12 fanatic. I will say that this time the rumors and sources feel different. I am not saying that I think we are in but my sixth sense is saying that there is a legit legs with this thing and I am thinking we are in. Vote Pending.

            If the college football landscape remains the same (which never happens but it's just as likely it will get worse than get better--in terms of importance of being P5), not being in P5 will be slow death over next 20-30 years. Landing with Big 12 now is a miracle on par with the sea gulls eating the crickets or the tithing rain in St. George.

              Agree 100%.

              We need to recognize these tender mercies in our lives.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Dig your own grave, and save!

              • Now I'm actually starting to feel a little bad for this WV dude. He seems like he really believes what he's saying. Sure, he could very well be totally wrong, but I think he's getting some some really crappy treatment from some pathologically pessimistic BYU fans who are letting him have it. I'm sure it's a minority of our wacko internet fanbase who are doing it, but in general it makes us look bad.

                    Yeah, he may be. I just find it interesting how as a fanbase we fight to the death to be right about the belief that nothing good ever happens to us.

                      • Commissioner Bowlsby just said a few hours ago that he is recommending expansion to the board. Granted, the presidents may not follow his advice, but this seems like a big deal.

                            • It is being reported (on CB and I saw it elsewhere but can't find that link now) that he actually said he will recommend a "slight" expansion, whatever that means.
                              PLesa excuse the tpyos.
