    Stay tuned.
    Thanks CHIP!!!

      I think there's just an effort from some of the other Big12 teams to take a last shot at Texas.

        Could you expound? You feel Texas wants BYU and the rest of the league is blocking it or vice versa?

        Are you still expecting to watch BYU play Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse? I ask you to strengthen the feeble knees and give hope to the downcast.

          Talk about screwing this up.
          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.”

            Hopeful optimism, that's all it is. No one knows.

                    This guy has said all along BYU will be #10. I want to believe him but he might just be another Deepthrowt.

                      1. Do we poach either West Virginia or Louisville from the Big East? (as I mentioned before it won’t be both. For the record I do feel that West Virginia would get the nod over Louisville if they voted to poach.)
                      2. Do we add BYU (which has some strong support) and leave the Big East alone?

                      I choose 2.


                      Also, I hear there is some fog in dallas delaying the meeting which was suppose to end a half hour ago.

                        **2:28 p.m. Update:** At this point, it would be far more shocking if the Tigers did not leave and West Virginia did not become the Big 12’s 10th team. That’s where we’re at with regard to conference realignment and how it affects the Big 12. What we don’t know, though less, remains substantial. For starters, […]

                          Great analogy. And apparently we BYU fans never learn!!

                          We are such blockheads.

                              Yeah you'd better try the pre-emptive LOL since you knew I'd be right on top of that.

                              For all the reasons previously discussed this wld be a savvy move by the B12 - nice counter punch to the SEC moving into their backyard.
