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."

Seriously, my favorite part of expansion is the plane tracking. It's awesome. But you are probably right. The WCC headquarters are almost right outside the SFO airport. No need to fly to San Jose and drive up to San Bruno when you can almost land in the WCC backyard....unless they are trying to be sneaky

Visualizing the Big 12 expansion candidates in two graphs....


The Big 12 just needs to get ND and BYU and call it a day."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.
"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.
GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!

interesting graphs, Ted. The academic chart has a few surprises in it. Utah is ranked higher than both AZ schools?!? I was also surprised to see Colorado so low. The biggest shocker to me is Florida State and Alabama are ranked higher academically than any west coast school, other than UW and the California 4!

I again want to reiterate my prior position that anyone who believes anyone other than BYU is the best candidate for BIG 12 inclusion can S a D. To paraphrase the smartest poster on this board, "they're assholes and should not be trusted."

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

I don't recall having said that.

To paraphrase the smartest poster on this board, "they're assholes and should not be trusted."Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
