Playing its part in the grand plan to destabilize the Big East.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Why's that? I thought the opening paragraph was interesting:Originally posted by Surfah View PostI am beginning to think Pete Thamel doesn't know anything.
How bad would that suck for that guy if WVU doesn't end up in the B12?West Virginia University athletic officials spent most of Tuesday preparing to leave the Big East Conference for the Big 12. The Mountaineers’ athletic director, Oliver Luck, was so sure of the move that he tipped off Big East colleagues Monday night and told staff members Tuesday.

Add 'student athlete' to the list of overused phrases. It is more than just a little disingenuous to continue to push the notion that those in charge care about the players' education in all this.Originally posted by YOhio View PostPete Thamel's latest on Louisville and West Virginia.

What a pissing match this turned out to be. Do any of these programs involved feel any sense of embarrassment? I think the addition of a team from the Big East all but ensures that BYU will not be going at any time. The geographic footprint of the conference would have shifted eastward. If they add teams it will be from the east. Cincy would have a better chance than BYU.

Boone Pickens gives his opinion on WVU...
Conference realignment is bubbling up again. You liked the addition of TCU to the Big 12. What about the possibility of West Virginia?
Well, I've got to be convinced on West Virginia. I haven't seen anything on the school. But TCU was easy. That was like coming home.
What are your concerns about West Virginia?
Morgantown … as I remember, you've got to fly into Pittsburgh and then drive a couple hours. That's pretty isolated.
You've always favored the Big 12. If it survives, does it matter what form it's in?
To me, you go out here to West Virginia, you're going to go a long way. I didn't like the Pac-10 for that reason. I feel like in the Pac-10, you're going to end up in an east division and end up playing the schools you played before. So why not just hold the Big 12 together? I still believe we can save the Big 12, but I say that Texas is going to have to look like the rest of us in the Big 12 instead of looking like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I don't like that. As long as there's a difference between what Texas has and what the rest of us have, it's going to be a problem every year until you finally go to an equal conference."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
