        Like a dog to his vomit I come crawling back to this thread every time a whiff of expansion news comes available. I need to rethink my life.

          BYU will eventually be in the Big-12. It needs two more for a championship game and BYU offers it more than the other options. 2014 will be BYU's biggest year in decades. Jimmy Mac to the HOF, a likely undefeated year (no Utah on the schedule) and its last year showing that independent spirit!

          I will be there to remind all you stringpulling pussies that much like Robert the Bruce, you lost faith!

              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                Exactly what I was thinking. I am kind of getting into this Independence thing. Think about Fresno and N. Illinois going to a BCS game because they are undefeated. Heck we have a shot at doing that next year. I wouldn't mind seeing us drop Texas next year and add someone like Furhman.

                  How would your kids feel about tickets to a game against Fur(h)man?

                  Did you know that Fisher Deberry is an alumnus of Furman, the university, as opposed to the cop who screwed up the OJ evidence?

                    Also, what about the Defenders of the Faith on CB???

                      I will ask them next week while we are all down in Hawaii getting tans and golfing. I hope NBC in Hawaii broadcasts the ND vs BYU game.

                      I did mean Fuhrman, not Furman, you jackass. I would rather have a bye and listen to Furhman give a talk. It gives us an additional chance to not post a loss and go to a BCS game.

                        With all due respect 71, the ND game isn't next week.

                          That is 71's way of telling you he will be in Hawaii for 3 weeks.

                            Furhman Sherman. Let's smoke Texas and make a case for the playoff. BCS games are over-rated.
