Exactly. It isn’t like the Big XII is some government entity like the IRS. From where i’m standing, the only hammer they have is the ability to suspend the athletic department and ban other conference teams from competing against Utah. That would make for some compelling theater.

You obviously have a soft spot for BYU in your heart. Nothing wrong with that unless you’re trying to pass yourself off as an unbiased observer. The tell f9r me is when you said that BYU has the potential to be dangerous in the CFP. You do realize that BYU needed outrageous good fortune to barely beat the worst two teams in the Big XII, right?…[Read more]

Hard to see how they could garnish his wages since the Big XII doesn’t pay his salary. Only the University of Utah can garnish his wages.

Great for sanity and the away traveling schedule…

Options? In my mind, there are only really two, go to the ACC or to the reconstructed PAC. I’m not certain whether the ACC, at this point would want us or, if it did, would make Utah take a well below market deal like it did for Cal, Stanford, and SMU. If money isn’t the primary factor, (yeah, I know, fat chance, right?) then the smart play…[Read more]

I hear you Rick…about the only enforcement mechanism that my uneducated self could come up with is suspend the entire Utah Athletic Department until Harlan paid his fine.

That is exactly it. They’ve gotten drunk on the success of the last nine games.

I would agree to that. I’ve never been on CougarBoard but I’ve heard that they stamp out dissenting views rather quickly. I would hate it if we became like them.

You know what, I could be wrong, but I’m starting to get the feeling that there might be a nasty divorce brewing…I can’t imagine saying stuff like what he did last night without something going on behind the scenes. At this point, it’s become patently obvious that Utah and the Big XII aren’t very well suited for each other.

I thought about that, but how? Harlan isn’t an employee of the Big XII but of the University of Utah. Where’s the enforcement mechanism?

Why? To make your path to the CCG easier? Worry about your own team. It has more than enough in its plate.

Tony, last night and today have been an education for me. Up to this point in my life, I’ve been BYU agnostic, since I personally didn’t really have any real history with them. However, I now know why so many Utah fans utterly despise BYU and some of their fans. They remind me of the way the Romans described barbarians…childish, boorish,…[Read more]

In the words of those esteemed poets known as Motley Crue:
Girl, don’t go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don’t go away mad
Now, girl, just go away

It doesn’t matter how much money you have but who does the shopping.

Bro, listen, I don’t give a shit. I’m a University of Miami grad, I’m not LDS, I’m not originally from Utah, and BYU is just another regional, small time team to me. You won last night? Great. Enjoy your day in the sun because your project, if you can call it that, is not feasible in the long run. Gus Malzahn once won a national championship…[Read more]

Fo’ Shizzle My Nizzle…

LOL…so, are you saying that they’re all pre-season All-Americans?

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart.[d] Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked…[Read more]
