      Yeah I realize Vike likes attention. What you have to realize is I am that guy that gives the 12-year-old girl more Spree's because it is way more interesting to watch the girl strap herself into the emotional tilt-o-whirl fueled by sugar and hopeful anticipation of receiving an invitation to the cool kids party via text from the hawt (not Hott!) guy in school than watching Twilight New Moon the the for the 1,000th time.

      • I've been noticing B12-drama-relevant song lyrics in the past few days. Just heard this one.

        "Get yourself a lawyer and a gun" (the Strokes).
        Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī

        It can't all be wedding cake.

          Is that a euphemism?
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              I'm pretty sure he was in my ward when I lived at The Devonshire. If it's the same guy he's awesome.

                One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                • Well, I'm preparing to say goodbye. I'm pretty surprised...my guy has been pretty spot on. I haven't spoken with him today (he's my childhood best friend...Doccoug knows him) and have a slew of meetings this afternoon so, while I thought this was a 99% certainty yesterday, it appears to be much less.

                  You win some, you lose some.

                  See you on September 10, 2012!

                    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                    • Scroll down to the Bronco interview... Good stuff starts at about 8:20... Seems like he is starting to change his tune a little bit about independence and joining a conference?

                          The best hope for the Cougars is for Texas and Oklahoma to stay in the Big 12, which, once Texas A&M extricates itself from legal challenges in its exit to the SEC, would preserve that league. The teams challenging the Aggies in court don’t care about A&M as much as they do Oklahoma. If a couple of pillars stay in place, with guarantees, that conference could finally settle in, be preserved and expanded, with BYU as a strong possibility as an addition.

                          If they get that chance, the Cougars should jump all over it — in football and in every one of their other sports.
                          Brilliant. I guess he's been reading this board.

                              The main interesting thing from the interview is that when asked if one of the big benefits about being independent is that you are more available to a BCS conference(like B12), Bronco answered "it was one of the real reasons, along with exposure" and then he started talking about BYUtv and worldwide fanbase, tradition and winning as benefits of BYU.

                              Also he talked about how if a conference wanted us, "which could very well happen they would have to take the whole package of what we are and if they wanted that it would be a great fit".
