relative anonymity, and are all passionate about BYU sports and a variety of other topics discussed here, we must remember that there are humans behind these monikers, and we all experience the inevitable trials of life. You just don't know what the other guy is going through, so it is best to steer clear of the negativity toward one another.

I have watched as a poster I know very well, received some not so good natured jabs and criticism for sharing something he had heard regarding expansion years back and optimistically projecting our inclusion in the Big12. When it didn't happen the jabs ensued and continued for some time. All the while, I knew this poster's wife was dying of cancer. It appears he is likely to be vindicated when the dust settles here with Big 12 expansion, as I believe it will be revealed how close we were to an invite back in 2010/2011. But unfortunately, that will be little consolation to the new widower.

I have always appreciated the way you handle the good natured jabs thrown your way. Good example of not taking things too seriously. Keep your head up.
