    Come on DU, everyone likes LA Ute, a lot I might add, but telling a friend he's acting like a jerk is a far cry from bullying. I haven't read all of the posts ripping on him, so I won't say he hasn't been bullied, but I've read quite a few of LA's posts in the past two months and I'm ready for the guy I used to know to come back.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      Shhh. You're interrupting DU and Pellegrino discussing whether or not LA Ute is like a 5 y/o girl (which would make him much more lovable, IMO).

        It is sad what you all have turned him into.

            I wouldn't mind driving down to Houston myself to see BYU play but it seems that UH is not talking to the MWC:

            From the vantage point of the AD's office at the Athletics/Alumni Center, Rhoades said Friday, "Nothing's changed."

            "We are not in discussions with the Mountain West," Rhoades said. "We're proud to be part of Conference USA and have respect for the 11 other institutions. We're working hard to become better as an institution. We're always going to look to better ourselves. We're always going to look for opportunity.

            "And if we can do that, everything else will take care of itself."
            But Houston, SMU and UTEP may be in discussions with the WAC/BYU:

            That the Cougars would join a six-team WAC (Boise jumped to the MWC in June, beginning in 2011) seems implausible, but reports have surfaced that the WAC and/or BYU have approached Houston, UTEP and SMU of Conference USA recently about their interest.

                  This option was pretty much at the bottom of my preference list.

                    So is that all, just "West Coast Conference"? Nothing more?

                    I don't get Twitter.
                    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                      It's not a tv station like the mtn. Just go to www.twitter.com and you'll have it.

                        • You are a good man LA. There are lots of times in life when you have to pretend you did something wrong to get through an impasse.

                            If this is true I wish Rose had known this when Oregon was looking for a coach.

                              Yeah. A school from the WCC will never be able to make any noise on a national level. It sucks for the other sports, but is the basketball team really that much worse off?

                                Who are the teams that aren't Gonzaga in the WCC that have made noise on a national level? What does the average WCC coach make? What does the average WCC coach make compared to MWC compared to P10?
