    Possible, but I'm really guessing Fresno and UNR hung up the phone on the conference call, took about 30 seconds to think about things, and called Thompson.
    At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

    • I would argue that BYU wanted their situation known before Fresno and Reno acted so it didn't look like they were bolting after 2 new school came in.

        Why? Do you think they're looking any better with things going down how they have?

              You don't resent that he spells his name correctly?

                    There can only be a few people who have the divine spelling, but I don't look down at those who are less inspired.

                      Did he go on a mission? Do you know where?

                        What? You think they would look askance at a deal that bound them to the WAC for 5 years, but let BYU take off for greener pastures at any time? Why would they not want that deal? What evil rascals!

                          I don't know. His wife was a resident with me in Pocatello for 2 years.

                            He caused a serious ruckus in my small town when he did some stupid piece on a kid being kicked off the football team for going to his reserve weekend drill. I didn't think much of him after that. At the time he was with the Idaho State Journal. At least I think the ISJ sports reporters name was Jared Eborn. I think he is from the Eborn clan out of Bear Lake. One of his brothers/cousins/nephews was a missionary at Fort Polk whom I used to feed. Elder Eborn's comp was the biggest dork I ever met in my life, and he looked just like the little swivel bratt held together kid named "Praying Paul" that every Primary President uses.
