"BYU, not sure if you know this but the WCC tourney is in Vegas too... What conf will you join when you can't win that one anymore?"

by **PilotNut** Sun Sep 05, 2010 11:24 pm

Hmmm, I suppose we are going to have to sketch out a new WCC logo... the state of Utah will be hard to get in the current version...

There's plenty of blank space in the middle of that W...

No but seriously, i wouldn't be upset if they retouched the existing logo, I mean it's alright, but other than the stars/coast design it's kinda blah....

by PurplePrideTrumpet Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:11 pm

There's a guy in Portland who did the Pac 10/12 logo. Or if you really want to make a splash there's this group in Hattiesburg Mississippi who just did a logo for a new MLS team... Mad

Hahahhaha, I wasn't going to make a crack about that... but... I mean if you have a chance to have your logo designed by the same guys who did the Memphis Grizzlies and Tampa Bay Lighnting, you jump at the chance... BYU to WCC in 2010-11 - Page 2 562404

Turns out that we have BYU-TV on Comcast here in Portland/SW Wash. Channel 234. Looks like another opportunity to see Pilots on the tube (er, flat screen, I guess).

Yeah, my best friend and I have watched some pretty entertaining stuff on there over the years. That's how we discovered that BYU's men's soccer team competes in the PDL, not the NCAA.

Thks for the programming update...Another night I have to restrain myself in front of the ol 51" Plasma...Its a tough life but someone has to do it , right?? I still will miss the bad seats, popcorn,and live "Pep" band experience of the Chiles or the Marriot Center though....

BYU plays no athletic contest's on Sunday, believe me we dealt with it here in Mesa (2nd largest LDS temple in the World here, and no Geez & DTR we don't still practice multiple wives or angle length dresses except on Sunday here in Mesa......hmm)

So will team #10 be Denver or Seattle U

by Geezaldinho Fri Sep 17, 2010 10:21 pm

I'm not so sure that another team is in the offing, though I think Denver makes sense as a travel partner and as a new TV market.

Before BYU, the conference had decided to delay expanding, I think because the economy tanked and the didn't want to extend themselves in that climate without an added revenue plan. BYu was ano brainer, because it is sure to add revenue to the conference.

Things have changed a bit, but the economy is still tanked. I think they might try waiting a couple years at least.

The WCC presidents are a very cautious bunch.

Yeah, the comish needs to get a slow-down young Stanford pup device planted in his head sometimes from the wily veterans...the UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS.....Thank goodness for wisdom and experience......a great check and balance to young pups like Rev., Z, and Mesas fav,, sic, AD at UP when their fine education is getting way ahead of common sense, lol. Its kinda neat to watch all the action, just sometimes wonder if some of these"golden boys" learn from their mistakes our if their golden boy educations and their egos try pass it off......"somebody else f'd up not me the golden boy from Stanford, or Notre Dame.

Congrats you legend cheers

The Mountain West takes another hit, as TCU announced it is moving to the Big East.

MWC is hosed. They'd be in great shape if everyone had stayed, and they added BSU.

by Guest Tue Nov 30, 2010 7:27 am

The MWC is transforming into the WAC. It's losing BYU, Utah and TCU. It is gaining Boise St, Nevada, and Fresno St. The WAC is turning into . . . ???

And now Hawaii is joining the MWC now...

For football, Big West for all other sports. The rest of the conference is UC/Cal St schools with tight budgets so the travel will not be easy on them.

Don't look now, but, as of today BYU is currently #1 in RPI in men's basketball:

I don't expect it to continue as the Big East schedule plays out...and the big boys of Louisville, UConn, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Georgetown battle it out. But, still...

It will be interesting how they do next year without the legendary Jimmer....

Subtract about 30 points/game and that's the answer?

Are we having a party? A flashmob? Fireworks? Something. Cool stuff. RT @BYUathletics joins the West Coast Conference in nine days! #WCC

I like your idea, Purplegeezer. The last flashmob I saw was this:
