Bad job, bad marriage, bad conference. Money should never come into play when you know it is not working. New PAC 12 looks like a safe harbor to tread until the money comes around again and it will. If I were Randall, I’d be making phone calls.

Yes indeed. The big 12 is ka ka.

But it’s complicated!

I’m with Aloha Ute on this. Coach has earned his bonafides. Yes there is a lot of frustration but you don’t put someone out to pasture until all doubt has been removed. I too remember years two and three during the PAC era and the clamor to have Coach run out of town. Harlan’s comment about the Big 12 a couple of weekends ago resonate with Ute…[Read more]

I too was thinking about the Fassel angle over the weekend and dismissed it because he went on to find success in the “league”.

How hard is it to run it up the gut. Everyone in the world has it figured out. I’ve never understood the “it’s complicated” thing. From my perch the Ute’s offense looks Pop Warner simple.

I’m hoping there is some serious soul searching going on up on the hill. Status quo is not the answer. By the way, Saturday night’s bluegrass concert in town alleviated a lot of afternoon’s agitation.

True.

I’m all for taking a pay cut. Make some phone calls to the Pacific Northwest, turn around and give notice to the B1g 12, wait it out in the new PAC or just go full bore into the deal. I don’t care if it will be temporary or full time. Happiness over money. Life is to short to let yourself live in misery. There are rewards other than the cash flow.

Ribs, chicken and sweet corn are my usuals that go with the greens and the company is more agreeable. Yummy.

All these Big 12 echo chamber guys. I was sick of them when the PAC was busy dying and now today we find ourselves stuck with them. Troll, Goober Neighbors, Kurtz, Grand Pa in Kansas, Weird Uncle in West Virginia and all the others. These guy’s are just like the Zoobs and that is why it is a marriage made in Heaven for them.

I like to think I’m a Ute’s guy but that JT Wistrol character ….I’ve given up on him. Maybe it’s because he’s from Big 12 country and can’t help himself when he’s trying to convince me that the Big 12 is the best thing since sliced bread. He turns me right off. I don’t know if he’s walking/talking the company line or what but he sure does strike…[Read more]

Grass would be nice but concerts, truck pulls and moto cross shake the money tree.

This strikes home. Being from the upper midwest we have our share of rivalries. Paul Bunyon’s Ax with Wiscy, Little Brown Jug with Michigan and (Pink) Floyd the Pig with Iowa. Couple these with all the other Big 10 rivalries make for great times. Not just that , the hockey rivalries are other worldly two night affairs (Fri./Sat.). People come…[Read more]

If Harlan/Randall can find a escape clause, I for one would be happy being in the new PAC. Eventually Cal and Ford will be coming back home too. Better than what we have now and never wanted to be here in the first place. Money is nice. Being home is better.

Metrodome in MPLS., in a bathing suit, T, sandals, no ticket, no ID and no cash and parked right outside the entrance door. It was like it was meant to happen.

I saw last night Pink Floyd sold the library to Sony for 400 Million bones and Gilmour said he was done with them.
