Apparently...

[Sweat Equity]

I've been watching College Football Live and on half a dozen separate occasions during the lead-in I've learned that:

• BYU is leaving the WAC
• Boise State is leaving the Mountain West to help strengthen the WAC
• Utah is leaving the WAC to join the Pac 12

Whodathunk?

No one has ever figured out who is in the WAC and who is in the MWC. At least people make an attempt to learn who is in the Big East.

Seems they got it right on the "re-broadcast" a half hour later on ESPNU.

Does this finally confirm I have no life??

 

[SuperToad]

Well technacally after we leave, the MWC is the new WAC...

I just wrote an entire post lamenting the Univerity of Oxford's decision to change their style guide to eliminate the comma in front of the word "and" in a series of three or more nouns.

Trust me, you're fine.

I think you meant "for all intents and purposes", not "technically".

It's actually quite the opposite of "technically"

Bah. A pox upon serial commas.

Your response is further evidence that the level of debate on this board is greatly elevated over that which you can find on...say, ShaggyBevo.

That said,

DIE!

Given Houston Frog's, Lone Frog's, and my posts, this may be the best thread hijacking ever.

And, yeah, Lone Frog, I put a comma after your name there. Deal with it.

Who said anything about "technically"? :tongue:

Less is better.

 

[FROGLEGHOP]

Great taste!

Less filling!

And technically the WAC is going to be the new Sun Belt & MAC rent a win conference.

Let's give SuperToad a break. The kid's put up over 200 posts in his first month. He's surely struggling not to crack under the stress.

It's the only explanation for his spelling of "technically."

I've been to Shaggy Bevo. I've also been to the monkey house at the zoo. I have difficulty separating the two experiences in my memory, given the amount of thrown feces found in either place. Given the level of discourse and erudition apparent on Shaggy Bevo, I can honestly say that's one of the weakest compliments I've ever received. I know you didn't mean it that way, so I accept it in the spirit in which it was given. I just had to point out the obvious. :biggrin:

And of course the level of debate is higher here. We went to TCU.

That said,

DIE!

You know, with that avatar of yours, that was a little disquieting. :tongue:

You make a valid point.

Good. Go forth and make appropriate use of the serial comma.

Seriously? That kind of ruins my day. Damned newspapers...

Ok feeling much better now. Oxford says the change is only in their internal manual for punctuation in press releases. False alarm.
