    It's hideous as well. They will lose a lot of money when they sell

      The PAC died when they tried to get Texas and Oklahoma, who both said "no way" and instead invited Colorado and Utah. You don't bring in two mid-tier academic institutions to a conference that thinks it competes with the Ivy League on academics because they all went around smelling each others farts while the real conferences actually got to work. AT least the new Big12 is real about their place in the world so it should last for a while.

      And KWhitt is one of the least secure people I know in sports. Dude is fragile as I'll get out.
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        KWhitt is fragile but everything says must be taken with a grain assault.

            You mean the guy that taunts the BYU crowd after a victory at LES? The guy that does an onside kick when his team is up by 40 pts because the other coach expresses some optimism before the game?

              He is also the guy that consistently wins games against his rival. Just saying. Figured that is important to add in a thread about the rivalry.

              The onside kick was dumb for sure and I won't justify it. I also like you how minimize Joe Glenn's comments as "expresses some optimism before the game." What Glenn actually said "I am not a fortune teller ... but I guarantee a victory against Utah and will be back Monday to discuss it." Calling that "expresses some optimism" is some great advocacy there. Well done.

                Agreed. He is a jerk, but a very successful jerk.

                Lol. OK, but in the end Whit somehow managed to look like the bigger jerk in the affair. That was quite a feat.

                  Let's be honest here, about 98% of successful coaches are jerks. You can lose with a nice guy, I'll win with a jerk.

                    Except, if I remember correctly, the last time they matched up, our nice guy came away victorious.

                      This is fun. Check out the clip starting at 2:20.



                      After the game, Whitt puts on a hilarious performance trying to justify his onside kick. Over a dumb comment made by a coach to some students at a lunch. Lol.

                          I really wish he just would have gone full WWE villain on it and basically screamed into the microphone. "Yeah, I ran the score up on that mother effer Joe Glenn. How you like it bitch? I learned to RUTS from one of the masters, Lavell effing Edwards, and I'll do it to you next time too! And the next time I see you I'm going to rip that middle finger off and shove it up your ass."
