The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[LA Ute]

Actually, I thought it was the opposite. I.e., the B12 don't need you boys.

Isn't Ute saying he wants BYU in the Big 12?

[Ute]

I guess you don't understand the gerontacracy of BYU's BoT.

Oh, I completely understand. And I understand that getting the Latter-Day Saints to think for themselves is like splitting hemlock knots with a corn-dodger for a wedge and a pumpkin for a beetle. But I keep kicking against the pricks, hoping one day they'll join the rest of the world in the twenty-first century.

"thinking for oneself" is such an overrated belittlement trick. Do you think that liitle "slight" up yourself or did you get it somewhere else?

You keep up that noble fight, little feller.

[TripletDaddy]

What you would know about me if you knew me is that I get shit done.

You remember what happened to the last guy who tried that approach, right? Consider yourself in the company of the Carthage Greys.

Who are you on utefans?

What approach exactly? Thinking for oneself? I have no idea which character you're comparing me to, but I've always identified myself with those on the other side of the door, like my great-great-grandfather was.

No, the "corn dodger" bit. You know whose line that is.

I really don't think it matters what Ute wants.

[San Juan Sun]

I really don't think it matters what Ute wants.

Are you sure? He's taken on bigger opponents for more important things. He's a guy who gets things done.

[WashingtonCoug]

You really need to come up with a better way of dealing with people who disagree with you than passively-aggressively suggesting they STFU.

Who says you're saying something I disagree with? Shut the fuck up asshole.

[USUC]

I hate this thread!

[LA Ute]

I just thought y'all were misreading him. Not my fight; carry on!

[falafel]

I think he probably meant both things.
