Instead, they got skeered and sacrificed a lousy Pitt team in order to appease the little guys. Now they have to allow a little guy in to be consistent in the way they run their little club.
I completely agree, but in your own example, you seem to agree that they view us (Y/U whatever) as the "little guy." To the country, we are mid-major programs.

Nah - it wouldn't help that much. Wearing sweaters wouldn't help without a visit to Dr. 90210...

Ummm.....I thought it was assumed the sweaters would come with visit to the doctors of Nip Tuck.

Your biggest mistake was going to whornfans.com. Your target audience there are a bunch of steers and queers who are either too high to care or arrogant and prissy to give you a response.

I agree that they view the U/Y as the little guy. I was just saying that they could have proved it to us little guys, but failed to do so.

Being a mid-major really isn't that big of a deal. When our teams beat one of the - ahem - better teams, it's fun to watch them try to find an excuse for it. They only look like weenies when they can't admit they got worked.

Besides, would you really want to be a member of a club that would allow us in?

No, I am the same way. it doesnt bother me per se. I do strongly dislike our conference schedule, though, so in a way being a mid bugs me. But the designation doesnt bother me in the slightest.

Agreed that the conference sucks. But that's because of geographic location.

Brother Brigham should have kept going until he got to the Bay Area.

Default Psssst! It's because we really are!

We may be king of the mid-majors but we still are one.

LOL. You and Zulu are killing me.

First of all, why do you suppose the fans on that site are going to give a rat's ass about your blue-goggled predictions for BYU's future? Honestly, what kind of reception did you expect?

After reading through the thread, it seems to me that they went easy on you.
