        When going for a goatnapper-meets-grapevine tone, my inner Danite couldn't but come out a bit.

        I hereby retract it and replace it with, "Cougars, don't cut corners!"

              There's a whole generation of Cougars, who, because of correlation, are not aware of Reed Smoot's earliest work.

                      I typically enter LES at the NW gate so I make it a habit of checking out the opponent's transportation. The bigger schools have their own decorated full-size trailer, usually pulled by a rented semi. The smaller schools have less impressive trailers - for instance the Weber State trailer looked like half a step up from our ward's scout trailer. I was surprised that UCLA used a standard Uhaul truck for their gear. Utah just got their own trailer last year. Before that they used an A-1 Moving and Storage truck. All the schools I've seen have used rented buses for the team.

                      BYU obviously has their own trailer and their own truck. Looks like they also have their own buses.

                          An ESPN contract means not having to say you're sorry.

                            You could even gloat about the busses if you had the money from the PAC12 contract.

                            (OTOH, you couldn't catch the games if you had DTV. )
