    Bob Dole makes no mention of BYU in his email to Boren.

    David,

    I was unable to reach you by phone last Friday and I’m not in the office but a few minutes today. My message is that I hope OU is going to stick with the “Big XII.” The central part of the country can support its own conference. The Big XII is geographically balanced and there has been steady growth and heritage from the Big 6 to the Big 8 to the present Big 12 Conference. OU is the 800-pound gorilla and your support is critical. Thank you for your consideration David.

    Have a good day.

    BOB

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    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."

            Uh oh. He is using both Big 12 and Big XII. Babs is going to be pissed.

              I am hearing rumors that we are going to recommit to the Big XII and allow Texas A&M to leave for SEC and accept BYU as a replacement. NO WAY! There's a reason the PAC-12 doesn't want BYU, and we shouldn't either. They are a WAC/MWC retread school and will water down our conference. I'm sick of the Big XII. I'm sick of Texas. Please, please, just get us OUT OF THE BIG XII any way possible. OU deserves to be playing in a strong and stable conference like the SEC or PAC-12. Personally, I would prefer the SEC, but at this point I would rejoice at joining the PAC whatever. Just so long as we kiss this current disaster of a conference GOODBYE!!!

                  Please don't let this be the Marc Wilson that played for BYU. Why would these teams think to join the MWC?

                  Dear President Boren and Athletic Director Castiglione:
                  Please look the email below that I sent to the president and ad at Oklahoma State. In the
                  message I mention that with Texas A&M leaving the BIG 12 by July 2012, instead of
                  expanding the BIG 12, that your institution along with Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Texas
                  A&M should join the MWC. The MWC is on the verge of becoming a BCS conference by
                  2012. With the schools that I have mentioned joining the Mountain West, the MWC would
                  complete their quest of becoming a BCS conference, competing in the Fiesta Bowl yearly.
                  With your school and the other three BIG 12 members joining the Mountain West, the MWC
                  would then have five members in the top 25 going into next year, as your school, Boise State,
                  Oklahoma State, Missouri, and Texas A&M are in the top 25. So, instead of expanding the
                  BIG 12 join the MWC by July 2012.
                  Sincerely,
                  Marc Wilson

                    I saw that one from Marc Wilson. Funny.

                      I have a feeling Dr. Warren Metcalfe is going to hear from a lot of people on the Cougarboard.

                        haha. I actually emailed him.

                        Subject: Disappointed

                        Though I can't disagree with much of your analysis regarding BYU football, I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd go out of your way to actively campaign against a team that is arguably more talented than 1/2 your conference and is 2-0 against OU (and that you hold two degrees from). Maybe you don't want the Sooners to deal with the shame of being beaten by a bunch of pasty white dudes from the intermountain west?

                        I'm sure you're being bombarded with hate mail from BYU fans (I suggest you write future messages to the AD via intercampus mail), so I won't pile on. Hope you have a great day, that you and your family enjoy a life of prosperity and happiness and that your email remains posted in BYU's locker room forever more as motivation to remind the BCS Emperor precisely what type of fabric his uniform is made of.

                        Best,

                          I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.
