The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Blueintheface]

I came on here to admit that all hope is lost and that we should have seen it when the BSU series was announced. And then McCann tweets that? What could he possibly mean with that tweet and smiley face other than BYU is going to the B12?

Assuming all is lost. You guys need to take a deep breath. Nothing has happened to make our program worse than it was a year ago, or even 10 years ago. Lets remember that this doesn't relegate us to 2nd tier status. We've always been 2nd tier status. And we enjoyed the ride. Didn't we?

Because there was always hope of a brighter future by continuing to outperform your peers. I still think we're in but if you're speaking to the others on the suicide hotline this just confirms we go from Teir 2 to Austin Peay.

Hehe... why TCU is a big upgrade over aTm according to the BU fans:

That is who we are. That and we stand by our promises to the WCC, and that is noble and others will see our nobility and send checks to our athletic program so that we can help USF fill its 1500 person gym with volleyball lines!

Please don't contribute to the lie that BYU received an offer. I realize this lie is unstoppable and will soon overwhelm all truth. But try to stand out as a man of principle.

There never was any hope. Nobody wants us because we are a weird cult and our way of dealing with it is making sure that everyone knows we don't think our shit stinks.

You know, when Peggy Sue Rotencrotch told you she wouldn't go steady with you in the 7th grade and you began to feel rapid blood movement towards certain parts of your body that eminate bad odor and you responded to the other guys on your soccer team: "I really didn't like her anyway!"

I couldn't have said it better. Maybe I could have but I would have needed an editor.

When you are courting BYU you probably get the same advice you get when dating a real hot chick.

If her parents have ideas way different than yours, look out and don't get involved. If you marry her you will find she married you but her heart mind and soul belongs to her parents.

I'd trade 5 more Taylor Martinez interceptions per game for the rest of the year and Nebraska finishing in the cellar in their inaugeral Big 10 run for BYU getting into the Big 12.

Blasphemy! I'm not willing to sacrifice Nebraska's inaugeral Big Ten season. I will however offer Taylor Martinez as a sacrificial lamb on BYU's Big 12 alter. The Cougars can have him! He might not be a bad KO return man. Just don't ask him to read a defense or throw a football...run, Forrest, run.

Gordon Monson just said on his show that his source at BYU told him that Samuelson didn't want to go to the Big-12. Take that for what its worth I guess.

I thought the church fired that guy (Samuelson). Wasn't he released?

I can't believe how crappy I feel about this. I've been going to BYU games my entire life and the program is going to die. I know it's stupid, but I'm gutted.

if true we can start calling him President Bill Buckner Samuelson (no offense to Bill Buckner).

The program will die like it died when it didn't get into the B12 last time, or when it didn't get into the P12, etc.

Times are changing and long-term independence in the current environment will kill the program.

Interesting Twitter feed to watch as these events unfold.
