The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[thesaint258]

Possible B12 interest in BYU you say?

We need Peter Griffin to knock some sense into people:

when everyone believes, the marginal benefit of being a believer and being right is de minimis. When no one believes, and you are right, the marginal benefit can be substantial.

No wonder you are buying in now. Good way to get back to net zero if you wind up being right this time.

Psychology is fascinating. This should happen. Everyone here was emotionally "bought" into the B12 and then the subsequent let down was enormous.

In financial markets normally the best time to buy is when no one cares any more.

I doubt there are many buyers out there, so I'm pushing the chips in. Buying BYU in the B12

I want to believe! However, I'm still healing from the emotional raping I took last fall. I'll wait just a little longer to be all-in. I'll still do my part to get to 12,000 though!

This is what I love about DDD:

The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change; this man's beliefs never will.

I'm all out. I have no faith in the Big 12 to make intelligent decisions and and don't know what BYU's goals are regarding intercollegiate athletics. I guess it could happen, but I'm not hoping for it any more.

Yet you're still in this thread, helping us get to 12,000. I know there is a tiny inkling of hope left inside of you, or else you wouldn't be here at all.

My participation in this thread doesn't mean I have hope. People post in this thread for many different reasons. See: SU.

According to San Diego sports radio we've been offered.

The best, most accurate Big XII News always comes out of San Diego.

I think it sneaks across the border near Brownsville, TX and then sneaks back across from Tijuana.

I'd wait for confirmation from the Calgary Gazette until I start to get real excited.

Good point. I am here because there is still, albeit very dim, a spark of hope. You are here for entertainment. SU is here because he has five more minutes of "internet time" before his Mom needs the computer again to blog.

Greg Swaim on 1280 right now. He says BYU is in, either in 2013 or 2014. He says the thing that has to happen us for BYU to agree to bring in all their sports.

Edit:
SU: he says that 100% BYU had an offer and turned it down.

That's a no-brainer, IMO. I would travel all over B12 country to watch the Cougs.

That being said, I think Mr. Swaim is full of shit.

He said his source is a Big XII board member...seems like a pretty good source.

Golly gee, guys do you think the B12 is doing this so as to not leave any doubt in the minds of fans that the only way BYU isn't in the B12 is if BYU rejects it??

I dunno, fellers, you think we might be in? Golly.

It would be a good source if we knew it to be true.

I simply can't allow myself to get all hyped about this again.
