The Big 12 expansion groundswell

By talking about warming them up, I think it's safe to assume he buys them earlier in the week and reheats them for Sunday dinner :thumbsup:

He'll probably have to make some kind of a statement to assure the masses of angry, Sabbath observing fans that he is no sinner. Somewhere a short haired Riley Nelson is smiling.

I'd rather DDD start an Official Quorum of The 12 Rejection Thread. Atheist and other Naybobs of church and sports negativity could all have a place to go.

You (in the general sense of the word) say this isn't a forum for religion, yet you keep brining it up. *shrug*

I think the statement should involve a new list of priorities:

1) Ribs from Milagros
2) God
...6) Football

While BYU fans pore over every scrap of Big 12 information, with little to nothing coming out of any Utah media outlet, Dick Harmon throws out a D-News piece on Bronco Mendenhall's favorite Mexican restaurant.

Doesn't this article pretty much guarantee that Bronco and his guys will never be able to eat at that restaurant in peace again?

I got the impression that's what Bronco was trying to accomplish for his friend.

Ha. I saw tricky Dick at Milagros a couple of weeks ago. The Friday before the Utah/BYU game actually. I kept seeing an older gentleman coming in and out of the back to talk with him and give him more food. I am assuming it was the owner. I didn't think Milagros was that good. I have only been once but I would hope that Bronco has better taste in Mexican food and wouldn't consider that place his favorite.

No doubt,and that's a cool thing to do for a friend. I guess Harmon wouldn't have gone with the story without Bronco's permission.

Did you have the ribs?

I believe dick just won the rights to break the BYU to the Big12 story, should it ever happen.

nope, I didn't have the ribs. Are they good? I typically don't go to a Mexican restaurant for ribs.

I think those assuming that attendance would drop after losses in the Big 12 could be underestimating this current generation of BYU fans. Bronco himself was surprised last year at the crowd that continued to show up for games even after starting the season 1-4. I agree that were they to continue going 6-6 each year as an independent or still in the MWC, that support would probably start to waver. But as a member of the Big 12 would a majority fans understand that any win against a conference foe would be huge, and continue to show support even after a few losses in a row? I guess there is no way of knowing for sure and the decision makers were not willing to take that risk.

There should be a "Things you want to say to Dick Harmon/Utah media" thread.

OK. I'll bite.
