The Big 12 expansion groundswell

"Hey, you two morans are in the media, you claim to be journalists of sorts....why in the #$@! aren't you burning a line over to BYU, knocking on doors, making phone calls, at least TRYING to find out the real story as to what is going on?"

Are they talk show hosts or are they journalists? A proper journalist would do better show prep and struggle mightily to find some nugget of news to break on their program.

Dorks. All they do is stir up emotion to get callers and listeners. Again, I had to turn them off. I seriously think they monitor CB to get a pulse on what the topic du jour is and go with it without any background study at all.

Perhaps market research has shown that 85% of their listeners are already plugged in to CB all day, every day? Maybe they just know their audience well enough to meet their market share goals.

stay positive.

Although it is usually pretty dark as they place the final nail in the coffin, I would imagine

I was trying to be positive. I am mustering all the faith I can right now.

I have some bad news to report speaking of heard on the radio. Hans and OC said they have been digging for information from their sources and BYU is not getting a formal invite.

I heard him say it too. Bummed me out.

That thread sucks.

I've only seen avatars of prophets from Ute fans, never from BYU fans..coincidence?

I'm sorry, I see now how horribly, horribly offensive that is. I've changed my avatar.

All the news that's fit to make up!

That thread sucks.

Heart-wrenchingly pathetic bleating from disenfranchised fans. It breaks my heart to see it. Even the schadenfreude of the situation can't relieve the sick feeling I have in the pit of my stomach as I witness one of the best possible growth opportunities for BYU football in DECADES being correllated away, like so many truths.

I haven't seen that BloodRunsBlue cartoon before, so I checked it out. That guy is very funny and is a talented illustrator. Good stuff!

So there's no room for us unless Missouri bolts and even then it's more likely that Louisville or WV takes the spot.

Why would the Big 12 settling at 10 again? I know the grant of rights gives the league stability that it didn't have last year, but why wouldn't they want to snatch up the most attracticve expansion candidates now instead of waiting for the SEC/Big 10/ACC to take them? That doesn't apply to BYU of course. Everyone knows the Big 12 is our only option.

Well, that stinks. Maybe next year, decade, or whenever they expand again.

That guy is a great cartoonist.
