The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Blueintheface]

Is Sunday play the final issue?

Or is it some rubbish about being able to bookend a rebroadcasted game with BYU Choppers?

How many games does ESPN guarantee to broadcast. Between BYU v. Oklahoma, Texas, Okie State, K-State, Texas Tech, TCU, etc. won't the equivalent number be picked up by ESPN/Fox Sports Amarillo anyway?

I assume BYU knows its bargaining position at this point, but did pissing off the Big 12 off already occur? Did BYU already appear to be too big of a pain in the ass? BYU fans can mock the reduced Pac 12 payoff all they want, but the fact is it was a no-brainer move. Hopefully it isn't about something like that.

I can only hearken back to Tom Holmoe's comment last week. I mean that in all sincerity. He, Bronco, and Dave Rose want in and if anything it will be the Big 12 and not BYU to say no. I don't believe and haven't since this started, that Sunday play is an issue.

Is Dick harmon writing anything about today's important B12 meeting in Dallas? I doubt it.

Dick is too busy thinking up gems like this:

Putting Riley Nelson on Idaho State's defense is akin to pit-fighting a Rottweiler against a wiener dog. Setting loose linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Jordan Pendleton on Bengal QB Kevin Yost is like Barack Obama without a teleprompter.

BYU may have already screwed it up. I too doubt that Sunday play is the issue with the Big 12 schools -- though I do wonder if its an issue with the networks. The only thing of note that is ever shown on Sunday is the basketball championship -- but they stopped playing it on Sunday a few years ago because the NCAA is trying to discourage it.

If there's anyone that can probe this story, it's Dick.

Dick is lazy. He should be out doing work. Where is his editor?

If you people want proof of his laziness, here is a pic I took on the flight from SLC to Seattle for the Jake Locker TD Toss game. Look at him just sitting there doing nothing!

He was on a roll in that article. A few more:

Rolling pumpkins is fun but BYU's rush game started slow and many power plays were weak. Put that against Utah or TCU and it is stuffed.

On this kind of day, Nelson should look like a Tim Tebow clone (11 of 17, 215 yards, 3 TD, pass rating of 229.2. with 62 on the ground. Pretty gets tougher Friday in Arlington.

Creating a 35-3 lead at half: Like the tooth fairy leaving her charge card under your pillow. Nice, but it has no application for the Horned Frogs except feel-good hugs in Provo.

to the naked eye that might looks he's doing nothing, but behind those closed eyelids, he's putting together a brilliant piece on Lance Reynolds favorite seafood haunts.

That is some brilliant work. We DHs are geniuses.

I can't tell what he is doing there. The forehead in the bottom right corner belongs to aussiecoug's sister, btw.

I have no idea. But he is right. It has nothing to do with beating TCU in Arlington.

Interesting article comparing BYU, UWV, and Louisville by the numbers.
