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."

Not good.

I was surprised that the comments Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said about the Big 12 didn’t get more play. The college conference has been kicking around the idea of adding two or four teams, which would trigger a contract clause that would force Fox and ESPN to pay a higher rights fee.
Shanks essentially warned that any expansion could wind up being a fatal decision for the conference.
Shanks: “We don’t think expansion in the Big 12 is a good idea for the conference. We think it will be dilutive to the product in the short term. In the long term, it’s probably harmful to the future of the conference. Who knows where expansion is going to go. Reading the smoke signals, [expansion talk has] cooled off. I don’t know why. We’re still in discussions with them. We still have a long way to go in the deal. We’ll work through it the best way that we can.”"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Just in case the Big 12 decides to expand...
http://www.bcsnn.com/big-xii/9675-ci...n-meeting.htmlCincinnati and BYU Media and Reps at Big 12 Expansion Meeting
[...]
There are some strange new developments however, as two candidates have school and media representatives in attendance for this afternoon's Big 12 expansion announcement.
This doesn't mean either school is guaranteed a spot in the conference and it comes as a shock considering ESPN had shot down every report other outlets have released concerning the possibility of Big 12 expansion moving forward in recent weeks.
What we do know is that both the University of Cincinnati and Brigham Young University have representatives (employees of the universities) in Dallas, Texas - where the announcement is being made on Big 12 expansion - as you read this.
Both schools also have related media scheduled to be attendance for the press conference as well."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

BHV and Navigate are the guys that told the Big 12 that they needed a conference title game... I hope they told them that it is really lame to have a conference championship game between two teams that have already played each other.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

If they go through with it, I think it is no coincidence that those two schools have reps in Dallas.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
