also, as has been covered previously, the idea of getting sloppy drunk in mormon-land is an incredibly exciting possibility to me.

I want to order a pizza at the hotel and see if all Mormons are as big as Doyel claimed.

Getting piss drunk while surrounded by Mormons does sound enticing but it comes with one serious drawback: actually being surrounded by Mormons. I hate preachy people and those guys are as preachy as it gets.

Dennis Dodd taking up a crusade for keeping SMU out of B12.

Probably pretty hard to figure out a reason to keep them out.

Used to work with a hard core mormon. Other than not drinking soda, only using thr kind of ice that is real small like Sonic's ice, and only buying bread that already had crust cut off, he seemed like a good dude.

Seriously on the ice, he bought a special ice machine and took it to every job he officed at.

For the most part, I've found Mormons that I know to be very friendly and amiable. Eccentric, but at least they don't worship dead dogs and defend their field with a bunch of fake soldiers that are actually cheerleaders.

Was in SLC yesterday. Weird, weird city - but nice. Those people don't jaywalk. I was stunned. I was afraid to go out and drink. Can they have alcohol

do have to give it to them for being easy to find your way around the city after a long day of pak'ing

810 caller: "Hey I just wanted to know, if A&M does bolt, what does that mean for Kansas/Kansas St. I mean this is Kansas City. Should Kansas go out and recruit teams for the Big 12 or should they just go to the Big 10?"

SLC is the best large city to get around in. Period.

So it sounds like SLC/BYU (and Provo by proxy) gets the goEMAW vote. Do we need to get a petition or something together and signed by BSAC so he can send it off to Beebe?

Warm up the search committee.

Dear Commissioner Beebe:

As you know, the Texas A&M Board of Regents has authorized me to take action relating to Texas A&M University's conference alignment. While this letter is not a notice of Texas A&M's withdrawal from the Big 12 Conference (the "Conference"), we are exploring our options. There has been a great deal of speculation and comment in the media about Texas A&M leaving the Conference, including discussions of other institutions joining the Conference.

If Texas A&M withdraws from the Conference, we want to do so in a way that complies with the Bylaws and is supportive of your efforts to seek a new member of the Conference. We would appreciate your conferring with the other member institutions and outlining for us the process to be followed by Texas A&M should it withdraw from the Conference.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

R. Bowen Loftin

President

Someone on twitter just said that the new Big 12 bylaws for withdrawing include dissolving your athletic program.

anyone able to confirm or deny?
