The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[ERCougar]

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??

Why would they want to do that?

[Green Monstah]

Why would they want to do that?

They are afraid of incurring the wrath of Cougar Nation via an agressive email campaign full of religious bigotry accusations.

Why would they want to do that?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because they were rejected last time, stayed quiet in the press and they don't want the same outcome this time?

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

I have considered your post from earlier today. You are now my broker. Please buy up as much BYU as possible!

This time they want everyone to know that BYU rejected them?
If I were a conference commissioner of a conference with stability concerns, I sure would want to publicize that a mid major school was so concerned about our future that they'd rather go it alone.

Jesus himself could come to earth and say BYU is in the B12 and no one would believe. Except for me.

And I don't believe in Christ.

That TDAWGCOUG is not tweeting tells us all we need to know: BYU is getting invited.

I don't know. If you want BYU to join your conference, and they have been dicking around on the negotiations to the point you gave up at one point, and then their AD tells their fan base they never had an offer, it might be good strategy to get it out there that you wanted them. The fan base then goes nuts and tells Holmoe it's now or never, you mess this up, we never come back. This puts some pressure on Holmoe now. He can't mess this up and then make another announcement saying "sorry we never had an offer".

BYU71: I buy 100,000 BYU, limit $10/share, buy inline until close, no volume limit.

I think some dude with triplets has an order, too.

thx

That's the best evidence so far.

whoa....I'm not liquid to that extent!

I would like to buy but can I use a groupon or Living Social discount?

Christ himself could come to earth and say BYU is in the B12 and you wouldn't believe in Christ?

Why would I believe in some dead guy who came back to life? That's creepy.
