Also, should we address how ironic it is that we hate the BCS so much but we are dying for a chance to join them? If BYU and Utah (and TCU?) join BCS conferences the BCS will have won a major battle and you can kiss all impetus for a playoff goodbye.

They won't claim the Sunday Play rule they'll say it's because BYU isn't a "Research School," even though BYU practically leads the nation in business schools. Because Washington State and Oregon are REALLY serious research schools. They extremely intolerant PAC-10 liberals don't want to look like the bigots they are. Does it amaze you that the more tolerant people

No. No he's not. Wow! Ever see so many people pass up on a coaching job at such a big Football school? My understanding is that the University wants the new coach to keep the current assistants so they don't lose the money guaranteed to them.

Amen brother!

Congrats! Way to show up for the MWC. We're getting lots of credit and good press but I wish the pundits would quit saying that Cal and OS just didn't want to be there. what a cop out. It's not like they went out there trying to lose. They both just got beat by better teams.

Maryland is a definite "stealth" candidate for several reasons:

* Big fan base: Would add the affluent and growing Washington market to the Big Ten, along with Baltimore. DC/Bal may be smaller than NYC, but more people follow Maryland there than follow Rutgers or Syracuse in NY.

* Strong overall athletic program: Football struggled this year but is

Why would the Big Ten pick up Iowa State? They bring absolutely nothing to the table except a built-in win for half the league.

Nebraska is the only team that makes sense. Bring an entire state's TV sets, big stadium, big name.

Missouri doesn't bring enough to raise the financial profile of the Big Ten and that will prevent them from being added. It would also sever

It's a very good post, Swint. I do have some qualms with your pecking order (WVa is a no-go for the Big 10, for instance), but you present some ideas I've never heard and yet I never once thought "that's crazy."

Nah, Utah could sell out the Vegas bowl, but I doubt they will sell as many for San Diego.

Good luck Cougs

USC losing makes this VERY interesting. I bet either BYU or Utah draws them. Would be great to knock off the Trojans this year.

Ummmm. What a punk. Not you Steve. That Max just doesn't know when to stop. He played a crappy game (for the most part) and was lucky to win. He just made us all look bad. Thanks.

To lift up your hopes: BYU also got shot in the foot a couple times with penalties. Both teams had a lot of 'em. Going into overtime, well, that was awesome. Although I'm a Cougar fan, I didn't want BYU to win 20-9, and I'm a little bit glad that it went into OT. Overall, it was a great game. Nice job for your Utes, they put up a good fight. My main concern now is BYU next year,

BTW I called it. I predicted that the winner of the Turnover battle would win the game. Thank you Andrew Rich!

2009-11-27T07:29:15.465-08:00

He may be ready, but BYU is even MORE ready for him than he is for the Cougs. Believe me, Swint... BYU is going to knock Utah out so hard, they'll have wished that they could stop playing BYU.

Go Cougars!
