    BYU wants in the Big 12

    Why not just offer teams an invite to the Big 12 from other conferences (ACC) that would bring in more money, even though they would be very long shots in wanting to join the conference? Ignore the buy out from their conference that comes with the team and look at the future and the Super...

    Tim Dwight Highlights

    When I was a freshman and TD was a senior in H.S. I ran against him in the 60 yard dash at the Iowa State Indoor Track Meet. Needless to say, I got smoked and it was embarrassing as hell!!!!

    Driving to Tampa

    From Des Moines: Go through St Louis, Memphis, Birmingham and then the FL Panhandle. It is a nice drive and you get to see the south while avoiding Atlanta. Stay in Memphis, then Destin or Panama City Beach. It is a great drive but I am also biased b/c I live in the Ft Walton Beach/Destin area.

    Who is the most famous person you have ever seen in person?

    I did the National Anthem flyover at the Alabama / Tennessee football game in 2009 at Bama and during the game we were escorted to Joe Namath's suite overlooking the field. It was just him and we ended up staying there and having a few drinks while also talking to the entire CBS sports crew b/c...
