You know what are some other can't miss destinations for visiting fans?

I'd sure like to know how we can make P5 money while being Indy

Win, win, win. Then get a contract with NBC or CBS.

Oh, and join Gonzaga in the Big East

Post a counter argument?

The counter argument is fine but why do you feel the need to try to. Dictate

As much as we've improved and things are looking up, without a P-5 conference

Umm... Cotton Bowl, 1996 is calling

And it was in the Bowl Alliance just before 1996 as well...

BYUFam1

6/17/16 8:37am

It was clearly a top 6 bowl. The BCA was only 3 bowls. The Rose wasn't in it either.

Agree 100%

These are fair points. They are also not very consistent with what we're hearing

Should probably read more carefully

Downtown

You mean the part where you claim to have a better understanding

Those are three names I enjoy; Marvin, Velma, and Provo.

Love the Fletch reference as well. I disagree with your skeptical cynicism.
