BYU to make an announcement today at 4 PM....EST i assume...

[OU_Sooners75]

Lots of rumors that BYU is about to announce their move to the Big 12.

And yeah, this should be in the realignment thread...big deal...I made it a thread instead! LOL


Wonder how true these rumors are?

[oumartin]

one hour after mizzou goes to sec, cool

[Peach Fuzz]

Yay.... What a wonderfull tradeoff gj texas!

[En_Fuego]

Luv me sum Mormon women

[badger]

I was in awe of the landscape surrounding that BYU stadium when I saw their Utah State game. A city surrounded by mountains. Guess it wasn't so bad that no other state wanted the Mormons, huh? (no offense to any SF.com Mormons reading --- it worked out for the best!)

34,000 students, a 22k capacity basketball stadium, and about a 64k capacity football stadium. Not too shabby.

If the rumors are true, welcome to the Big 12. Just wish you could have joined last year so that we could have seen Jimmer before the tourney.

[Peach Fuzz]

Provo and Utah are pretty awesome, unless you want to hook up or drink...or both. The Mormon chicks were pretty hot and friendly, but that's it :(

[badger]

This is also great for our west coast recruiting, not that we weren't already getting Vegas and Cali recruits, but now they can have a game out there in the conference schedule too.

[Peach Fuzz]

Ohhhh really?? Since when have we ever recruited anyone good out of Vegas..


and before you guys go ape poo on me I'm joking and I know I have to use the winky kwear face because no one knows about sarcasm anymore


:witless:

[Wishboned]

Ohhhh really?? Since when have we ever recruited anyone good out of Vegas..

We had a running back from Vegas a few years ago. Can't remember his name. He was okay from what I remember.

[Boomer.....]

Ohhhh really?? Since when have we ever recruited anyone good out of Vegas..

Not sure if serious?!?

[OU_Sooners75]

Peachfuzz...you should be ashamed of yourself!

[Peach Fuzz]

Too late... didn't edit fast enough haha

[Flagstaffsooner]

Luv me sum Mormon women

Have fun.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Justin Chaisson! Justin Chaisson! Justin Chaisson!

[OUDoc]

I'm not really excited about having BYU on board, if that's the announcement.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Getting BYU and WVU would be just about as good as we could get from what's plausible. If only Arkie would come on over, but I don't see any incentive for them to do so. To get to 12, assuming we can snag WVU, we'll have to take a step down for that last spot, for sure--unless Mary shows up as an apparition to the fellows and trustees of Notre Dame and directs them to join the XII also.

[Peach Fuzz]

2396
Have fun.

Nom nom effin nom

[SOFSooner]

We also had a defensive back from Vegas that was alright, just can't remember his name.

[En_Fuego]

Joseph Smith was a man that knew where to park.

You're right. Vegas recruiting sucks. We should go to vBookie for our talent instead ;)

You have obviously never been there. Its like Houston with mountains.

[OU_Sooners75]

Badger...stop...just stop!

Seriously, we all know that the vbookie is there. We just dont go because it is not very fun! :monkey:

[Mark_in_Tulsa]

BYU boards saying announcement tomorrow not today. Waiting till Mizzu finally agrees today to the 6 year tv deal.

[En_Fuego]

West Virginia ?

[sooneron]

Can we schedule them during ski season. LOVE me some, Utaaaaaaaaah!

[badger]

You're right, I haven't. I've just landed at the Salt Lake airport, that's all. Houston with mountains, eh? Traffic suck too?


Badger...stop...just stop!

I'll never stop. Sorry.

I agree that this deserves its own thread. Too much crap gets burried int he realignment thread. This is important news and deserves its own thread.

If they don't want to clutter this board with realignment threads then they should create a realignment board. It's ridiculous having so many varying news stories all merged/lost in that one thread.

It's an idea....

[badger]

I really don't mind it getting its own thread if an announcement is imminent, but I'm not a real Modador, so we all might get overruled later, heh.

[SoonerMom2]

MO Press conference at 5:30 and @Jake_TrotterJake Trotter

Have no idea what Missouri is about to announce. But I have been told that Sunday's call among Big 12 presidents "did not go well."

MO media people think MO is going to the SEC.

[oumartin]

I may be crazy but I don't think Joseph Smith ever made it out to Utah but maybe I'm wrong.

[badger]

I may be crazy but I don't think Joseph Smith ever made it out to Utah but maybe I'm wrong.

No, you're right. I actually google'd some Mormon history so I would sound less ignorant once BYU is in the Big 12 and inevitably visiting :D

Smith and his brother were both killed when the Mormons were settling in the Midwest (either Missouri or Illinois, I already forgot which state) and that is what led to Brigham Young being the successor. I am still not too familiar with Mormon history, but basically, they were not liked anywhere they went until they went someplace that there weren't already others established: Utah (I think it was then part of Nebraska, believe it or not, since it wasn't a state yet).

[Wishboned]

I may be crazy but I don't think Joseph Smith ever made it out to Utah but maybe I'm wrong.

You are correct. He was murdered while awaiting trial in Illinois.

[Peach Fuzz]

Enjoying his 72 virgins

[SoonerMom2]

Chase Daniels still an idiot:

Chase Daniel "we go into places like OU and win, it's what we do".

Twitter re-post on MU board.

Uhmmm.....when the hell did THAT happen??

[instigator]

WTF did BYU announce? I guess nothin since I can't find it.


Trotter says:
What a cluster the Missouri teleconference has turned into… Fans chanting "S-E-C?"

He's on a bugar high.

[SoonerMom2]

LOL!! That is too funny the last time they won here was 1961. I remember Daniels' comments at the Big 12 Championship inferring they won since they were ahead after three quarters. He just confirmed he still doesn't get you have to play four quarters! :smug:

[badger]

Has anyone heard anything on Mizz yet? If they're leaving, let's move the Big 12 basketball tourney to OKC pronto (or even Tulsa). Eff that state if they're not gonna stick around in the conference (and I know part of KC in is Kansas, but the tourney itself is in the Missouri half)

They have tons of incentive to stay and the Big 12 tourney is just one of many.

[instigator]

They haven't started yet. I posted the dial in number in the realignment thread.

[badger]

Lol. I heard that's how people got in to yell SEC! SEC! before they muted them :)

Here's a video for whenever it starts... allegedly 6 now.

Sounds like it wasn't as simple as they thought. Love to be a fly on the wall!

[BoulderSooner79]

Googling is not the best way to get an accurate picture of Mormon history. Best to watch a key South Park episode.

Now, he didn't say they beat OU in Norman. He said they won in places "like OU" -- you know, places with stadiums and 100 yard fields.

[instigator]

That is the closest he ever came to beating OU.

[3DSooner]

Oh Boy!
The fighting Osmonds and the fighting Hillbillies!

Well then Missouri is screwed because in the SEC they play 4 quarters!

[3rdgensooner]

BYU is not a good choice for this conference when you take into account all the sports.

[sooneredaco]

Can we schedule them during ski season. LOVE me some, Utaaaaaaaaah!

THIS!!! Park City here I come!

[badger]

Don't they, Texas A&M? :D

You got that right! Stay in Salt Lake City, at least you can get a drink.

So did I! Wait... So did my wife! Bless her heart. :O

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I wonder if vbadger has a vjob. Seems to have a vcomment to every thread. Sad really.

[Sooner1972]

So we're now stuck in the SWC part 2 along with BYU? Super...

[OU_Sooners75]

I married a mormon :)

Liar...Mormons don't recognize gay marriage!

Good fertile recruiting grounds... go west young man.

not sure why it double posted.

[Vegas Sooner]

You're right. Vegas recruiting sucks. We should go to vBookie for our talent instead ;)
Leave Vegas out of this.

....and I have no idea why so mormons live in Vegas. Look for them to start ringing your doorbell soon.

[King Barry's Back]

Did anything ever come of this rumored BYU press conference? I'm deeply worried that BYU was going to announce its move to the Big XII, but then was supersceded by Mizzou announcing its move to basically end the Big XII.

[jellyfish]

Can somebody toss the doorbell picture on here?

[Sooner95]

This is ****. BYU, big freakin deal. This Conf is done, we should just call the Big East and go there.

[ruf/nekdad]

Googling is not the best way to get an accurate picture of Mormon history. Best to watch a key South Park episode.

Yes. This is an accurate portrayal.
Maybe the funniest South Park of them all.

Meh, OSU regents decided that their president could explore other conferences too, even after the Pac 12 said "not taking anyone new." So, perhaps it's just a red herring to make UT stop pursuing high school highlights on their damn network.

[Lott's Bandana]

Provo and Utah are pretty awesome, unless you want to hook up or drink...or both. The Mormon chicks were pretty hot and friendly, but that's it :(



I've NEVER had a problem finding a drink in Utah after many, many trips there. And as far as wimmens, I always brot my own.

[rekamrettuB]

I married a mormon :)

Did she buy you those 7 or 8 OU shirts?

[SoonerPride]

Did they announce anything?

[King Barry's Back]

I think BYU is about as good a candidate as we can get. They bring a pretty good TV market, and they are a somewhat prestigious program.

Assuming Mizzou stays: Put BYU and WVU in the conference, along with a South Florida or TCU, and I'd say that's viable.

If Mizzou goes, I say take what we can get somewhere OUTSIDE of what remains of our current conference.

[soonerboomer93]

I married a mormon :)

and your wife married a moron, so you got that going for you.

[Frozen Sooner]

Blather

Actually, wasn't really looking for a reason, since I don't have the first idea who you are or your history around here. However, you conveniently provided a reason that was right out in the open.
