    True (which is part of the reason BYU thinks it can be successful as an independent) but do they bring in enough ratings in any one location that isn't SLC to be worth considering? A 10% increase in Pac-12 ratings in Charleston (just to pull a random name out of a hat) probably isn't noticeable when it comes to negotiating TV deals.

    FYP.

    Jokes aside, he has a good point. :) I’ll probably lock this thread if it doesn’t stick to a toast theme.

    Rioting is only permissible with a proper sacrifice to Toast Jesus. And we can't know when to make such a sacrifice until you read the omens and tell us.

    You wouldn't displease Toast Jesus would you?

    So, where is DC on the toast scale & do Rooney's ears have an impact?

    Is Precourt's move to Austin toast?

    Columbus' franchise?

    Beckham's latest stadium proposal (which is actually quite good for the city).

    Boise State had a 2017-2018 Men's Basketball RPI better than 8 Pac-12 teams and a Women's Basketball RPI better than 5 Pac-12 teams.

    Sounds like the beginning of a joke... What's the punch line? Did they walk into a bar? I bet the guy wearing the Fleahawks jersey got a concussion because he wasn't smart enough to duck...

    Anyway, the Revs may not be mathematically toast, but they are definitely toast! They had a 6-pointer at home vs Philly, they team that was trailing them and were down 2-0 at the half. They fought back to make it 2-2, but then, on a lazy cross that was lofted into the area over everyone's head and was harmlessly going over the end line, Toni Delamea sticks out his hand! PK, 3-2 game over, season over. They have only 4 more home games left the rest of the way, and this is a team that has won like 3 away games in the past 3 years.

    Stick a fork in 'em.

    I think an MLS N+A Free Talk that doesn't involve politics might be a good place to move conversations like this.

    Just for the halibut, I would like to see us not flounder around on this.
