Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face (again)!

Anyone seen if our ‘Conference of Champions’ friend Bill Walton has weighed in on the collapse?

University of Desert. Classic.

Deseret, actually. I was today years old when I learned that the Moromons desired a much vaster state.

They can get in line with the Natives. Actually behind them.

Hopefully we are a little more competitive than when they were in Ames in 2010. I was at that game and it was the biggest debacle I've ever witnessed.

It was just as bad on TV as well. Total domination.

Not Utah but thought this belonged here

Crow is a douche. Still pissy cause ISU wouldn't give him power when he was here.

I just want to take a quick break from using the truck stop wifi to post 12anon fan fiction to wish the Utes a short and uncomfortable stay in the B12. Then I hope we kick you ungrateful jerks to the Mountain West where you belong so you can waste away with Stanford and Cal while you huff each other's farts.

We're off to a good start

I hope Yormark and other Big 12 presidents can engineer a bloodless coup to remove Crow from ASU. That school should have great athletics, but having a poltroon like Crow in a position of power seems be holding them back. Plus, I don't want his little bi-otch attitude to infect other schools while the conference aggressively pursues innovative new expansion, revenue and branding opportunities.

Can we utilize horns down as an anti utah thing now?

**** Utah

Gem from Utah board in a rant about how this is a short stop on way to Big Ten…so grateful.

“We literally have the softest division in all of college football. Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and BYU. “

BYU owned the Pac 12 the last few years. Everyone knows KSU and ISU are tough. CO and AZ schools should be markedly better in the Big 12 w/more money, exposure and access to Texas recruiting. While I hope Utah cleans house in the Pac 12's final year, that dude is in for a rude awakening.

I think they get to play easy Baylor in non conf?

UU Down

Both hands.

Ha ha … drove by there last week. I tried to engage my kids in conversation and pointed it out.

Their reaction was “meh” and back to their video games.

In the ‘80s I would have had my nose pressed to the glass watching it until it faded into the background.

The 80’s were the best. Just go outside and play all day and the only thing our parents cared about was us back by dinner.

Oops better stop myself before I further spiral into a stream of consciousness.

Eat pile of pancakes and bacon. Smoke a few cigarettes and pound a pitcher of coffee. Buy a knife from the case behind the counter. My general Ames truck stop routine.

Just a public service announcement:

The Moon family who owns it has donated tens of millions to the U of I athletics programs and are grads of the school out east. (Which probably means they would be irritated having anything Iowa State or Big 12 related being affiliated with their truck stop.)

Well, their world famous truck stop is also grand central station to the world's largest attraction of pedophiles. Which also means most of Utah is probably already familiar with it.

Did it have all night breakfast? I would hit up the 24/7 diner truckstop in Sioux City late at night all the time in my young drinking days. It was cheaper than Perkins. If I knew it was around when I was in Ames I'd have probably tried it.

Yes it was open 24/7 Nice study break during finals week. Grab a beer, head to truck stop for eggs and bacon and pancakes. Did I say grab a beer, I must have been mistaken

I don’t love the idea of a conference removing a university president, but I do hope they start with a 25% share and a 10 year vesting period. Seems only reasonable.
