    Isn't there a pop up tent that someone should be checking on?

        Yes, someone should, but that person appears to have left his post.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          LOL, who thinks anything of substance will happen on a conference call that is available to the public? I love BYU fans. It's like the whole fanbase has the exact same neurosis I do. I feel so at home.

            the conference call is announcing the decisions made in the board meeting that is presumably happening right now

              What song is that? It feels like I should be watching an old Looney Tunes episode.

                  Ah. Has this day been built up enough that, when nothing is announced, CB will meltdown?

                      Yes. And they will say something about expansion because Bowlsby publicly said he would be calling for a vote at this meeting. So when they come out and say we're staying at 10 the meltdown will be pretty epic.

                        Nah, it'll be subdued. We've all become so immune to not ever getting into a P5 conference that that is really what we are all expecting.

                          I am glad that I had a 2pm meeting. Looks like I didn't miss anything. Someone text me when the classical music stops so I can listen into the call.

                            Yes, epic indeed. It is a frenzy over there. But hard to blame them; the whole thing even got to SU and his loving view of BYU.
                            PLesa excuse the tpyos.
