    Well, my choices were either John or some playboy model. Should I have gone with the naked chick instead?

      I say if BYU does get invited into the Big 12 we all chip in and buy Rich a double serving of ribs at Milagros.

        • Naked chick, who?
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  Our new Wyoming would be Texas Tech. No doubt.

                  As for our new rival, I don't like fabricated rivalries. Rivalries are built over years of hatred and we only have one of those: Utah. I don't want a new rival. I want to hate them and continue to play them and have it mean something.

                    TCU, we've already got some recent history with them. Of course, to make it a good rivalry, we'll have to beat them every so often...

                        Rival = TCU
                        Wyoming = K-State or Texas Tech; slight edge to Tech because, you know...Lubbock.

                        I'm with Marvelous, though. Nothing can replace the Utah rivalry.

                        • An OB insider explains what is going on with BYU and the Big 12...

                          Sunday games has never been an issue in getting BYU into the conference. The issue is FSN's stance against allowing BYU to rebroadcast their games on BYUtv the day of or day after BYU's games are televised by FSN. ABC & ESPN have already signed off on it, but the hold up is FSN. I think in the end, BYU will cave on that stance and join the Big XII. They're starting to realize if the Big XII goes to 12, they might be left out of a BCS conference for good.

                            Of course Sunday play was never an issue. Only a Moran would believe that.

                            "Starting to cave" means many donors called and threatened to not renew their coaches circle donations.

                              Wasn't it 72 hours before? Now down to 48 hours. Hold out, BYU, you're winning.

                              Why would FSN not want BYU carrying its content, including logo, on BYUtv within 24 hours of the original broadcast?

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              • Why is it so important to rebroadcast the game the "day of or day after" the actual game? Is it just because of fan awareness that the game is indeed being played and want to see it before the find out the outcome?

                                Or...what? Is it THAT big of a deal?

                                And...why would FSN even care? They get the same amount of money, eyeballs watching it live...etc. What would be the detrimental factor to FSN if BYU rebroadcastst the game the same day a 9pm?
