It's funny how you all project three games into eternity. Whatever makes you feel better. In the Celestial Kingdom we will experience eternal progression. You all can go ahead and enjoy your lollipop schedule in the Telestial kingdom with eternity to contemplate the terrible things that BYU did and continues to do to deserve this fate.

And yet, if it was up to you, you'd love that your team have a winless season in football and basketball in a BCS conference!Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post

Hitching their wagon to nd shows how ignorant the administration is. And saying we would do bad in our bad years is dumb. We would do fine in the big 12 with our 06 07 09 teams. Nothing says we can't get there again.Comment

I would most definitely go independent rather than having losing season after losing season. I would rather be BYU and independent and winning games than Arizona, Colorado or Utah.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View Post"To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail."

That is short-sighted and, frankly, dumb. I'd rather have a chance to compete against the best year in and year out than be independent playing patsies.Originally posted by WashingtonCoug View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas.

This whole saga has warped my ability to detect sarcasm, so I don't know if you're being serious here. Do you believe it's possible there are still ongoing discussions? It sounds to me like BYU had a shot and decided to give independence a go for a while longer with the thought they can always join the Big 12 later. I'll admit that this is just my impression based on what reports are available so I could be entirely off base.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
Edit: If this is the case and we really think the opportunity will be around when we're ready later, I think it's a horrible decision.Comment

I agree 100%. Even with a bad record in conference play you are still insured for future seaons (i.e. you still get to play OU and Texas every year). Plus, you still get your share of the money. I don't see a negative here. BYU fans would adjust just fine. Sure there are some that would stop going to the game, but those numbers are small. This season is a perfect example: even though we aren't very good, how fun would it be to have top ranked OU coming to Provo next week? I'd be excited!Originally posted by atheistcougar View PostComment

I think most BYU fans would disagree with this. I'd rather see BYU play with the Big Boys more than anything... Having a OU vs BYU or a BYU vs Baylor of BU vs KSU etc sound much more fun then SJSU,. Weber St. USU etc...Originally posted by WashingtonCoug View Post
Even if we lose more I'd still be pumped about those games vs the lames ass schedule we got going on right now... Hell, they are still trying to fill schedules for next year etc...Comment

Damn. I was really hoping that here in Missouri the fandangled interwebs weren't in place yet. No luck. Now I find out from the Mrs that our flight back on Saturday is during the game. If you want me to do anything to anyone or any living grove of trees while I'm in Columbia this afternoon just let me know.

His statement isn't even worth a response. I am more jealous of Utah today than I was when it became known that they were making the jump. Back then I still had a reasonable hope that given the choice we would make the correct choice.Originally posted by EuropeanFootballMale View Post"Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

A source "close to BYU" who admits in the same quote that he doesn't know. Nice.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
I'd also agree that I'd rather be independent than be a crappy football school like Arizona or Baylor or Washington State. But we are BYU, so I'd rather be in the B12.Comment
