    Ha ha. It’s raw nature in there sometimes.

    One can smell the stink of a pig farm on a hot, summer day from miles away. I remember a friend of mine said he was riding with an old farmer when they were passing a pig farm. My friend tried covering his nose with his shirt. The farmer chuckled and told him, “That’s the smell of money, son.”
    We moved from the Bay Area to Pleasant Grove when I was 13. Within the first month we got tagged with an assignment to work on the church welfare farm in AF. We had to clean out pig pens and lay down new straw. That took the city out of the boy pretty quick! Where that welfare farm once stood is now the Mount Timpanogos Temple.

        There are few things more American than a rural county fair. From fist pumps at the weekend "bump and rub" (not a reference to BYU couples' private activities) to the high cholesterol inducing honey butter dripping off an order of scone bites down to the "YUUUUUUUUUP!" with a rotator cuff tearing thrust up from a starched popper and cowboy hat wearing judge at the 4H animal auction. One weekend spent at that will convince you that Vladimir Putin cannot win.

        I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

        • This would be an interesting turn of events. Basketball is already insane in this conference.

              • Yeah the Big 12 is already pretty crowded. They can find their own way into the tourney like we did. Suerte.

                  • It would be a mistake, even though Gonzaga has been among the very best teams in the country for the last decade. How much longer is Few going to coach? And how good will Gonzaga be once he retires?

                      Adding teams from the wcc? No thank you

                      • You all know BYU will advocate for Gonzaga because it "the nice thing to do."

                        When will be ever learn? Being nice to former conference rivals never pays off!

                          totally agree Big12 brother!
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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

                          • I agree that adding no one is the right move short of ACC teams coming available.

                            Hypothetically, if you have to take someone, I think that UConn would be a better addition than Gonzaga even if you have to take them for football too. They have 3x the enrollment, much bigger alumni base, and a bigger metropolitan area. Their basketball success is broader than one coach too. Mark Few has been a coach at Gonzaga since 1989. Gonzaga has a total of 2 conference championships in over 80 years prior to him coaching there.

                            The only advantage that Gonzaga offers is the Pacific time zone.

                                You mean like take Gonzaga into the B12 and put Utah into the WCC? That works for me.
