<-- Doesn't think the Pac 16 is that big of a threat. Pac 18, maybe.

<-- Knows Baylor is the poison pill.

If ND was to ever join the Big XII, then OU, UT, and the rest of the Big 12 will never leave. It will have one of the richest TV contracts and a middle of the road path to a BCS NC appearance. Best of both worlds.

So, this Big Cigar guy is so in-tune with the Texas higher-ups that he knows just about anything could happen and has as much info as anyone could attain simply by reading the average BBS? Meh. At least he smokes a cigar while he feigns serious bigboy status.

The gist is that Notre Dame to the Big 12 sits at zero percent.

We're going to end up with BYU. And road games to places that don't have alcohol.

Getting BYU would be great. I'd trade A&M for them in a heart beat, assuming everybody else stays.

What location could we possibly travel to that doesn't have alcohol? I don't see the U of Yemen joining the NCAA anytime soon...

You can drink in Salt Lake. At least you could when I was there about four years ago.

Never been, but it has been explained to me that it isn't dry, it's just that the demand is so low due to mormany types that availability is an issue.

They did away with the private clubs bullshit. If you can't find a place to drink in Provo or SL, you probably shouldn't be drinking anyway because you're a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Yeah, there were weird laws. Like, you could get beer, but no shots.

It's been a while. I can't remember all of the specifics, but there were some goofy laws, but nothing that prevented you from getting a beer.

JFC. I didn't literally mean NO BOOZE, but like others have said: no shots, no doubles, regular availability is an issue.

So compare it to any other game day in any other town in the USA, it's pretty damn dry.

I hit a great brewery in SLC. I got really drunk was all

and no one wanted a piece.

SMU is being conspicuous about their desire to be a part of the Big 12.

I was even there to do work for the University of Utah. My bad.

true story: tobiasbro works at university of utah hospital and drives to wyoming to buy beer by the trunkful (and fish and stuff too i guess). sounds awful

Wasatch Brewery is in Utah, great stuff.

SLC is the airport of choice in that area. And staying in Provo is not an option. Hence, for our purposes, BYU is in SLC.

SLC landings, weird how they have to do this massive u turn in the valley. Guess it's better than Albuquerque and taking straight off into the mountain range at the end of the runway. Me as a kid

, now me

Been wanting to meet a real life SLC punk too.
