A good or bad thing. You don't have to spin everything as the sky is falling. Tom has been so optimistic in all of his public statements I think it's ok to take this as a positive.

Of course not, but Tramel may be thinking "now you want an interview?!?"

Texas Hammer

I'm sure he thought that...but then I'm sure he was elated to get the call!

Did you read the article? Sounds like it was a phone call he couldn't pass up.

I have consistently been one of the most expansion-positive posters.

Are they doing the BYU 50 boxes on the campuses of Big 12 schools?

I don't like that we are putting conditions on it

How familiar are you with BYU or the LDS church? Hate to make assumptions but doesn't seem you are at all.

Very, probably more than you.

When someone says "more than you" that's when you know it's not more than you.

I did not say we would play on Sunday, champ.

I'm so glad TH is negotiating this deal and not Cougarboard

CougarCanuck76

In fairness, coldcoug was saying what he would do if he were the Big 12.

TaiJuan

7/24/16 11:07am

What part of that is a condition, kind poster?

Beadle Bamford

7/24/16 11:34am

The football only.

coldcoug

7/24/16 7:29pm

In my opinion that would only be a condition set forth by the Big 12, not by BYU.

Beadle Bamford

7/24/16 8:52pm

No, that would be our condition - no Sunday play, therefore football only.

coldcoug

I see.
