What's FM's daughter doing there?Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostThis could be something or it could be nothing at all, but I just saw folks setting up this BYU pop-up tent right across from the Gateway. For those that are unfamiliar with the local geography, this location is also a few mere blocks from the COB. And it is almost 3PM.
Something brewing?

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I just received this tidbit from BYUDVLINMSJONES. Apparently this memo was just sent out.
To: [Redacted to protect secrecy, but you probably know who I'm talking about]
Re: Meeting to Discuss BYU Big 12 Invite
Date: August 30, 2011
Time: [Redacted to protect secrecy]
Location: The park strip outside the parking garage where we pitched the tent that's also used to shade the ice cream sandwiches that are handed out after the EFY Duck Duck Goose extravaganza at DT fields. If you're still wondering where it's at, look for the trenches that are being dug for new sewer lines.Last edited by Color Me Badd Fan; 08-30-2011, 02:40 PM.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

http://barkingcarnival.fantake.com/2...n-the-humidor/In fact, none of this is going to happen overnight so ignore the AD’s and talking heads for now. BYU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Texas are VERY much in this together and have been contingency planning for over a year. Stay tuned.

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."

It does remind me of DeLoss stating:Originally posted by LiveCoug View PostAll my worries have been eliminated with one little post!

"If the sentiment isn't there to hold the Big 12 together, Then Texas and another School Like Notre Dame should start a new conference."
A&M leaving is the perfect excuse for letting the BIG 12 dissolve with no exit penalties for the remaining parties. For ND it signals SEC will have to go to 14 teams next year (probably 15 and 16) the Start of the Super Conferences. It has to make a move almost now to get things in order schedules and all by then. Might as well be the Founding Member of a Conference instead of joining one.
And if you really think about it. It is impossible to bring in either/and/ BYU or ND without a major overhaul of the leagues bylaws...It would probably be easier to start fresh.

I would like to see a new conference with BYU, Texas, ND, and OU but do you think Baylor is going to let the Big 12 dissolve without making a huge (legal) stink?"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Where the hell is DDD with the live update?
