IMO, the only way the Big 12 survives is if the “other 8” start voting as a block — making moves that may not jive with what UT and OU want, but serves the best interests of those 8. For instance, while we like to crack on BYU, the Other 8 would be smart to add them. And add Cincinnati. Those 10 schools, IMO, would be fine even if the ‘Horns and…[Read more]

I agree with the premise that the PAC doesn’t HAVE TO expand ever even if others go to 16. Still, I think it’s in “our” best interest to be proactive. My thought is that the PAC needs to turn its weakness (being isolated out west) into its strength: we’re the only Power 5 conference that can offer any of the other P5s coast-to-coast coverage.

Well this just might be the nudge to push me over here permanently. It’s so disappointing to see what UFN has become. Now, I think I’m at the point where I just won’t even visit the place anymore. Just turn my back and let it burn, or rot, or…who even cares. So sad. What a waste of what was once a good thing and warm community.

I don’t think style of play had much to do with the Miami game. It was really simple: Miami was huge and deep. We have NOTHING in the middle when Poeltl is on the bench. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Jakob gets two early fouls, our guys aren’t hitting their shots. Game over. And that was all w/in the first 10 minutes of the game.

IF we can get better…[Read more]

…As for the Block U, it’s one of the oldest surviving icons of the school. If it’s still good for Mount Van Cott, it’s good enough for me. I think a BU helmet would look cool. A plain white BU on a red helmet.

Put me down as a “both” fan, too. A red helmet interlocking version with an all white uni would look sweet!

True. While the players on every team cycle in and out, there IS some consistency to the type of program a coach or school tends to run. Maybe our inconsistent offensive identity is our advantage. 😉

So… BYU doesn’t know who they’re preparing to play, so they need to be ready for everything. While Utah needs to recruit to battle size, athleticism, and speed (i.e. everything). At the end of the day, I don’t see the recruiting needs of the two programs being that much different.

We have the allure of a P5 team in a P5 conference playing a P5…[Read more]
