The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[lambdacoug]

Mark Berman is a TV sports guy and not a sports writer. That means SU can give his approval to this news.

.1000 of the time, he gives his approval all the time

[BlueK]

.1000 of the time, he gives his approval all the time

believe me, whatever SU predicts is going to be the best prediction ever made. Believe me.

Not only that, he bats .1000 with his predictions. That's money.

Inside College Football: Big 12 will have to explain if it doesn't add BYU, Houston

Dennis, it won't be hard. Let me show you: "BYU has excellent credentials. It was hard to say no to such a class organization. Unfortunately, it just wasn't a good fit. The consensus was against football only. We are building a conference for the ages and our model is the Pac 12's excellence in all sports. For much the same reason, we cannot commit to any member that there will be no Sunday play. Our baseball championship has been on Sundays, for example. We want to showcase our great baseball players with their .400-plus batting averages at the optimum day of the week and time. We need to commit to the day of the week the championship will be played years in advance. There has been discussion of playing our Big 12 football or basketball Title game on Sundays. Also, we decided it was untenable to move our footprint further west. Cincinnati, with its storied basketball reputation and recent successes in football, and strong scientific research programs, is well positioned to pair up with West Virginia as a travel partner and natural rival. Needless to say, Houston has no negatives, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on improvements, its strong research capabilities, and its location right in the center of our footprint."

See Dennis, not hard. What are you going to do about it, cry that bigotry favored Cincinnati and Houston? Blame the LBGT community?

And that, my friends, is how you double down.

Who cares about college baseball? Anyone that is worth a crap in that sport goes straight into the leagues. No wonder no watches that or the Pac-12 network full of crap sports no one cares about. (Rowing?!? Really? Maybe I would watch if they added folks bass fishing off the back of those boats.) BYU should get rid of baseball and bring back mens wrestling.

Only 11 players had had better than .400 avg last year. None were on a Big 12 team.

LOL, Sunday play? Good stuff.

BYU doesn't expect every team in the conference to avoid Sunday games, you big dummy.

I used to wish you (and your ilk, but particularly you) would just stay out of this thread. But I now see that would probably be a mistake. This stuff today, for example, is comedy gold, Jerry, GOLD! It's so bad that I don't think these posts would even place in an SU write-a-like contest. You have become not a caricature of yourself, but more a pale but very amusing imitation.

[Art Vandelay]

I forgot I had this image, I meant to use it last basketball season. I had labeled it SUwish. In light of today's predictions and batting completion percentage, it seemed appropriate.

Ha ha, Dennis, it won't be hard for BYU. It's the culture stupid. Here're the euphemisms: Sunday play, geography.

lol.

Looks like we have solved the mystery about this Sprague character.

One thing that always puzzles me. Utah is in the P12 and now owns scoreboard for football and basketball. Yet, they act completely insecure on social media and seem obsessed with BYU. Just can't shake Little Brother Syndrome I guess.

The writer responsible for the SU character has really gone downhill. First, he/she drops the DDD character, which was by far the better of the two. Then he/she lets the SU persona evolve to this. Time for a sabbatical to recharge the batteries.
