The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[falafel]

The crappy part is I feel like it probably wouldn't happen for basketball right away. And to be honest I'm more comfortable with football as an independent than I am basketball in the WCC.

You don't even watch byu basketball.

DDD and Senioritis made mention of distance, crows, borers, and pop tents.

I lay part of the blame for today's events at the feet of Senioritis. Yes, even at his dancin', barn raisin', Brawlin', kidnappin' feet.

Pittsburgh's no comment is eerily similar to BYU's no comment.

"“Rampant speculation on conference expansion occurs, and changes, on a daily basis,” senior associate athletic director E.J. Borghetti said in an e-mail to the Tribune-Review. “It would not be productive or responsible to add to that speculation by commenting.”"

One of these days people are going to realize that when Pitt says something, it means it!

It's as if they coordinated their statements. Any word from ND?

Quit screwing around. I'm trying to have a serious conversation with the AD on an Internet chatboard.

(he does read this btw )

Hi, Tom. I'm not a big BYU fan, but as an Active Latter Day Saint Ute Fan, let me say that I have faith that whatever decision you make will be the Lord's will. I have so much faith in this that I believe the Lord would remove you from the station to which you have been appointed if you tried to lead His football team astray. This would probably happen by you simply being fired, but you can never rule out death in these situations, possibly at the hand of a disgruntled CUF member. Good luck, I trust you'll do the right thing.

And he ends with an extremely lame PR plan in order to appease the angry mobs about staying indy.

Don't worry, Tom will find it.

Quit acting like such a sobbin' woman.

LOL. Nice.

I'm glad I have been too busy to pay attention to this stuff -- waiting around for this non-statement from BYU would have killed me if I had time to worry about it.
