The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[old_gregg]

I love people from Idaho. Salt of the earth.

do you often find yourself saying about these people "bless their heart"? salt of the earth=mentally prepared only to pull things out of the ground and drive the trucks transporting those things.

I heart old_gregg.

Funk needs to mobilize the PC Bros. Stat.

agreed, minus the wealthy and prestigious residents, impressive pioneer history, stunning views, fertile and voluptuous women, and fine institutions of scholarly learning, and plus a bunch of faux yuppies acting like they live in a cultural capital of the world, gutter trash fans who make utah fans look like aristocrats, and an inexplicable sense of smug superiority. kind of bro.

I grew up in Bountiful, and agree with almost everything, but stunning views? Refineries, the dried up end of the Great Salt Lake, and brown antelope island to the west, and mostly brown, scarred mountains to the east don't really qualify as stunning.

old_gregg's assessment of Boise and Idaho is about as accurate as his other opinions. Bless his heart, at least he is consistent.

Meth capital of Iron County, for sure.

LOL! I think that the good view OG is talking about is the refinery flare. That thing is cool and when they are flaring it lights up the sky!! Like a 4th of July every time there is excess product!

Bountiful people love them some Bountiful!! I sat in on a Bountiful City Council Meeting recently and man, there are some awesome things going on there. They've got a vintage car show in the park, the "Tour of Utah" is going to pass through, (AGAIN!!!), and the summer music in the park is really attracting some folks to come enjoy some teenage bluegrass bands. Bountiful is just killing it!

Boney's Guide to Big 12 Expansion

I liked this line:

The Big 12, like a rich, alcoholic father that’s been ignoring his children for decades has been finally forced by circumstance to welcome some of its illegitimate progeny home and give them a (lower tier) piece of their inheritance. But there’s not enough inheritance for all, and now it’s up to the gaggle of little weirdos to step up and prove that they are worth daddy’s doting

people come from hundreds of miles to appreciate the bountiful rotary car show. and the burnout competition is the highlight of any straight man's year. there's probably even stuff funk would enjoy.

I shall refute your points:

- I've met billionaire residents of Boise. Well, one resident, anyway. He's dead. But his kids are wealthy now!
- The lack of "impressive pioneer history" leads to fewer "I have more/better pioneer ancestor stories than you" type of talks that abound in Utah in late July
- There will be lots of stunned viewers in Boise on October 21
- Fertile? My mom gave birth to 9 kids in Boise.
- Voluptuous? Not as Goatnapper'd as Bountiful, probably, but it's getting there, one soon-to-be divorced Mormon couple at a time
- There are at least 3 fine institutions of scholarly learning in town - I attended each of them (though not concurrently)
- It is a capital, it's in the world, and there is a culture
- Some teams' fans fill gas tanks (s/o to Lenny), other teams' fans have to drive the trucks
- The fans' smug superiority just makes it that much sweeter to be here on October 22

There was a report on the burnout competition: The Mayor was the judge this year. It was his first time and he was nervous to get it right, because apparently in years past, there has been some controversy You don't have this kind of awesome competition in backassward boise, that's fo sho!!
