    I am so confused, I don't know what the h#!# is going on. This year, seeing the Utes go to the Pac 12, hoping against hope that BYU gets into the Big XII...and having that dashed....has just taken all the fun out of sports this year.

    I don't give a rip anymore. I'm a bit miffed at BYU for remaining silent and not acknowledging their fans and the torment they are going through hoping to get an invite. At LEAST their PR person could calm the storm, put out the fire once and for all...but to let the fans just whip things up to a frenzy is crazy. That puts BYU admin/AD in a no win position.

    Ticked at the whole BCS thing all over again.

    Ticked that BYU could find itself battling to stay out of irrelevancy.

    Ticked that the only team we don't play from my home state of Idaho is CSI...and they don't HAVE a football team, or we probably would have.

    It snowed, it's cold, and today just basically needs to hit the reset button.

    :anger: :bsflag:

We have been kept in the dark for far too long, and it's time for BYU to fess up, and they better give a real explanation if they want to keep at least a portion of their alumni donors. I realize we are taught to have faith, but this "trust us" stuff just will not fly.


        If negotiations are still ongoing, why do they need to make any public announcement?

          BYU will keep its mouth shut only if its being run by idiots with no understanding of BYU's own fanbase and what is needed to keep us onboard.

          But since that's pretty much the only reason BYU would turn down the B12, yeah, you're probably right.
          I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

              What do we know about El Camino Real and the Big 12....maybee the best year of BYU football since 1984 the qb came from El Camino JC and we beat two Big-12 teams?

              We are in people..we are in!
              I'm glad you can laugh at this. I just want to kick things.

                In fairness to Marvelous, nobody really knows when YOhio makes a funny.

                  No kidding. In a few short hours, we've learned that TCU is joining the Big 12 as the 10th team, and we're already at the point where we want BYU to come out publicly and say, "We are most definitely not ever joining the Big 12, so stop asking".

                    We really do need a true emoticon for that. Maybe simply take the and put a little Y on it.

                      Har har. See Washington Coug's original post on the matter. If negotiations are still ongoing then fine. If we don't join and never hear anything else on the matter, that's when fans get pissed enough to stop caring.
