Yes there has been shitty business from both sides...... but now....the left has taken it to a different level. If they get their asses handed to them in a few weeks it will get even worse.  The average voter hates this stuff. 

When Trump is your standard bearer and MTG your Congressional face hard to imagine you typing the above with a straight face

Well, almost four years later, and it looks as though Assange will indeed face prosecution in the United States.

 

 

Hopefully people vote to acquit.  Our government is increasingly authoritarian

MWC board juju strikes again. @halfmanhalfbroncodecides to have a little fun and dust off some TBSUF talking points from a decade ago... a day later and Utah is playing their part in the most ridiculous Rose Bowl game of all time and most likely will replace Boise's precious Fiesta Bowl as the greatest Bowl in history.

Congrats @utenation

Perhaps MWCBoard JuJu does work…..

If Utah can win the Rose tomorrow, it will top the Sugar Bowl win for me.  We started 1-2, changed QB's and he went 9-1 the last 10.  We had two player deaths in the last year that shocked our team. With all that controversy, easily the best season for me if we pull off a win. Even with 3 losses.

Given how the rest of the PAC has looked I think it could be a stretch but who knows.  Someone from the PAC has to win don’t they.

I've tried finding any article suggesting that academics was a big requirement for this latest round of additions. I couldn't find anything. Everything was centered around athletic success, revenue and stabilizing the conference.  No mention of academics in this article. Not once. 

“Today’s vote solidifies the long-term trajectory of the Big 12 Conference,” stated Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. “I applaud the efforts of our presidents, chancellors and athletics directors of our continuing members to expeditiously consider and take this action. The addition of these four fine institutions ensures the continued success of the Big 12 at the highest levels of intercollegiate athletics competition.”

https://big12sports.com/news/2021/9/10/big-12-conference-adds-four-new-members.aspx

 

I did find something from 2016 that said academics was fifth on the list of reasons to add teams.  Halfman's point is that academic profile was the reason they got snubbed this last round. I don't buy it. 

 

I think Boise has a number of issues. Academics is one of them but it’s extraneous to the point that the MWC could have been a much stronger conference if they had been less conservative.

What happened to the non-sports section??

Anyway during the golden days:

Utah>TCU>BSU. Sorry @halfmanhalfbronco

(Oh and UNM was the best BB MWC team ever under Alford )

Perhaps but that doesn’t mean adding Boise, Fresno, Hawaii and Houston wouldn’t have made the conference stronger nationally.

Houston, Cincy, WVU and UCF aren't academic giants. Average at best according to US News.  I don't really think the B12 has modeled their invites on academic profile only.  I think they wanted to fill holes with sports related numbers and possibly snag decent revenue. With BSU's reputation of being King of the Mountain and waves and waves of national interest, I'm surprised BSU wasn't top choice considering BSU's firepower when they were top dog as recent as 2014. 

You do know Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF are all R1 Universities? Carnegie is a much more respected measure.

Not sure what you are referring to but @halfmanhalfbronco’s point is much of what I was referring to though I would probably have added Houston and a good Hawaii under June Jones also.  
 

But then again I would have added teams from Texas this go around and Wichita State a couple years ago.  This conference consistently thinks short term.

I’m sure you were never wrong about shit you said 15+ years ago right?

It’s sports. Nothing stays the same.

Yep. Wrong all the time.  Happy to admit it.  And the MWC keeps thinking short term so it’s clear Utah wasn’t the only one.   For all the shit he took Karl Benson was actually a pretty good commissioner in retrospect as he positioned the Sun Belt for success.

@IanforHeisman and I along with a few others had some great battles. Like I said, many of those guys are great posters as MWC fans.  Water under the bridge. All entertainment and a long time ago. I'm very harmless these days and still a MWC fan.. Western sports in general.

Well it’s pretty funny how wrong you were.   I remember you claiming how the old MWC teams were all better.   

Since the championship it has been 8-2 old WAC versus old MWC.  Makes one wonder how good a conference the MWC could have been had the schools shown foresight and invited the right schools.

But this conference continues to think short term.

Washington(CNN)South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg is under pressure to resign after he was charged last week with three misdemeanor counts in the accident that led to the death of 55-year-old Joseph Boever.

The calls for his resignation have ramped up in light of new evidence released Tuesday night, in which investigators say that they found Boever's broken glasses in Ravnsborg's car and that the victim's face had come through the attorney general's windshield. Ravnsborg struck and killed Boever on September 12. He initially told police he had hit a deer, but he discovered Boever's body the following morning after returning to the scene of the collision...

...”They're Joe's glasses. So that means his face came through your windshield," an investigator tells Ravnsborg, who lets out an obvious gasp and says, "I wondered about that."

It’s fake news and a liberal conspiracy amirite?    Standard GOP playbook these days.   By the way, he killed a man, drove away from the scene and got probation.  Must be nice to be a Republican politician in a GOP state.   He’s not that +++++ed…..

They're as futile as the T-Wolves. Further the ownership's inherent ineptness in being ran by some micromanaging Silicon Valley dickweed who doesn't understand basketball but insists he is hands-on on everything because he coached his daughter's HS basketball team will ensure that futility will remain for a long, long time.

I wasn't talking about you when I made that post but you replied to it. I was talking about Retro and FF posting updates every 15 mins on every little thing that comes down the pike about this. You replied to me. Hence, I replied to you.

Also, if you're waiting for the Kings management to pull their heads out of their asses, you're going to be waiting a really long time.

Sadly you may be right.

If you're worried about your offspring potentially becoming whores for a Congressman, you screwed up as a parent big time somewhere down the line.

Also, "put up with it"...lmao. When did you move to the Florida Panhandle?

That's what I mean. None of you guys live in the Panhandle, or in Florida for that matter, and you're all obsessing over this dude like he's the principal at your kid's school or something.

Since when is maybe two posts obsessing?
 

Now whether the Kings management ever pulls their head out of their ass.... that I may be obsessing about.   Getting that piece of shit Trump out of office I definitely obsessed about.   But if Gaetz is convicted holding onto his Congressional seat will be the least of his problems.   

by and large I could care less who a Congressman or Congresswomen screws as long as it’s not his/her employee or underage.   Oh and my comment about if you have kids had nothing to do with my fear for my daughter.  It was more along you would have more appreciation for a young man and/or woman at that age and their ability to approach said relationship..

Again though, we don't even know if that's the case. And assuming he did, who cares? This shit goes on all the time.

I didn’t not say he did.  I have consistently said we need to let the facts play out.  

Just because statutory rape and child trafficking goes on all the time doesn’t mean I need to put up with it.   Get back to me when you have had a child.  Perhaps your perspective might be different.
