It’s clear Harlan, reflecting ute culture, believed the were too good for the Big12. He believed them joining was a big deal for the Big12 and that’s why he remarked last night that he WAS excited to be in it.

Clearly Give Me a Break wasn’t excited. He brought it up because he thought the Big12 admin would be tripping over themselves to reverse or apologize for a call that went against them. “Oh no, the Big Dogg isn’t happy, let’s scramble to make it right!”

Otherwise the comment doesn’t make sense. Why comment on your membership in a conference if you’re just unhappy about one call that has nothing to do with the conference?

He gets fined and his form of apology is just explaining why he was justified but has better venues.

Newsflash to Harlan: you’re here by ByU’s graves. And the conferences. And they regret having added your puny, lackluster program with serious insecurity issues.

You’re not a big dog. You’re a happy chihuahua. Shut up.
