He did far better than McCain

And I'm quite confident that he will end up doing far better than Trump against a much weaker Democrat. The map is pretty insurmountable for a Republican right now. That doesn't tarnish Mitt with anyone who knows politics. Most university presidents and top-level donors know politics.

Romney now involved in BYU B12 push and not so encouraging comment from bowlsby:

bowlsby's comment:

Byu is the no brainer #1 choice so my opinion is the longer this goes on, the worse it is for byu.

RdF3

8/23/16 6:55pm

Maybe there big hang up is who should be #12 since BYU is the easy choice.

BabyOx

My thought exactly

duh. honor code. gays. we are screwed.

Meh

You never know. The hangup could be 2 or 4 teams or even another team to join BYU. There is nothing in the statement

Rhino84

8/23/16 6:56pm

Is that an actual quote or a quote according to a source?

concolor couguar

8/23/16 6:57pm

It's in quotation marks, so it's probably a direct quote.

dixdog

8/23/16 7:38pm

Weird not to mention how the quote was obtained if that is the case

concolor couguar

8/23/16 7:41pm

TNT took it as what he thinks the Presidents' viewpoint is on it

TNT

8/23/16 7:01pm

Now my life is complete ... YEA MITT!

BamaCoug

8/23/16 7:03pm

I'm a big Mitt fan as well

phillYeagles

Honestly, his comment strangely echoes his sentiment the night before the B12

Y Mountain

8/23/16 7:08pm

Yeah nothing in his comment suggests BYU to be in or out. Cool that Romney is

Mark320

8/23/16 7:11pm

Wait, I thought the B!2 as being thoughtful and thorough . . .

Pasadena

8/23/16 7:25pm

Over analyze much?

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 7:33pm

Probably...you new here?

nashty

8/23/16 7:41pm

So old Swain may be right then huh?! Or was it some other twitter person today

TheLoneCougar

8/23/16 9:13pm

This seems obvious.

Bluedarts

8/24/16 12:43am

I didn't think it was worse than neutral.

TaiJuan

8/23/16 6:54pm

i'm talking about the "if it were a clear path it wouldn't have taken so long"

nashty

8/23/16 6:55pm

Wouldn't there have to be two obvious choices to allow for that "clear path"?

buhler08

8/23/16 6:58pm

hurdles being cleared ... it hasn't been a clear path.

BamaCoug

8/23/16 7:19pm

has anything been a clear path yet for the B12? I mean come on, they can't agree

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 7:58pm

that's Mitt, not the Ute/Aggie that posts negative stuff on every ESPN page

Y05

8/23/16 6:55pm

Who, strangely enough, probably cares a lot less than message board Romney

Gustav

8/23/16 6:57pm

He's calling a bigot, T Boone Pickens, to sway him from blocking BYU and you

BamaCoug

8/23/16 7:22pm

It's a joke about how obsessed the other one is with BYU

Gustav

8/23/16 7:34pm

Also, I would suggest rethinking that subject line

Gustav

8/23/16 7:37pm

Whew...at first I thought it was Michael Romney

Machiavelli

8/23/16 9:36pm

BYU won't be every school prsident's top choice, but that doesn't mean it

Littlerich

8/23/16 6:56pm

OSU must be a holdout if Romney is lobbying T Boone.

Rhino84

8/23/16 6:58pm

Yeah hopefully he sways him. That could make 8 votes

davidnairn

8/23/16 11:34pm

TNT will panic now

TNT

8/23/16 7:00pm

Thanks for the update Jimmy

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 7:34pm

Nothing wrong with Bowlsby's comment.

You're a real glass is half full kind of guy, aren't ya?

8/23/16 7:05pm

Love me some Mitt!!!

Alister Mackenzie

8/23/16 7:16pm

It's like the B12 GOR is hanging by a thread and he's riding in on a white horse

Scratch

8/23/16 7:16pm

Yes! BYU in a landslide!

squidmark

8/23/16 7:18pm

That's cool to hear that Romney is working behind the scenes to get BYU in.

Speedy

8/23/16 7:38pm

It doesn't sound as encouraging as I'd like

dixdog

8/23/16 7:39pm

I'm not sure Romney is going to help us much. He's kind of tarnished now

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 8:00pm

He's still golden among the donor class.

Rhino84

8/23/16 8:03pm

You want everyone working for you who has a trust relationship with the Big 12 Board and other players.

roseyscenario

8/23/16 8:13pm

seems like he kicked butt in the big12 states

4mack

8/23/16 8:23pm

IDK, some other high profile LDS like Steve Martin might be better

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 8:36pm

How is it Romney's fault America is stupid?

Harrison0Yfan

8/23/16 10:04pm

He did far better than McCain

warp

Lost two elections, and failed to get his guys elected for the third

Mitt , Mitt , Mitt ,Mitt Mitt , Mitt , Mitt ,MittMitt , Mitt , Mitt ,Mitt Mitt ,

8/23/16 8:32pm

So thats why he didnt run for president again...He's fulfilling a higher purpose

CougarTail

8/23/16 9:56pm

Bad sign IMHO. seems d e s p e r a t e

mindzeYe

8/23/16 10:26pm

Romney has no morals.

OliverGranger

8/24/16 12:25am

Now we need Steve young to

davidnairn

8/24/16 9:09am

to what??? don't leave us hanging like that!

Machiavelli

8/24/16 9:17am

To get involved like Romney did and support Byu!
