So I have moved from Arkansas to Utah and now have an hour commute each way every day. Needless to say I spend an two hours listening to sports talk radio. I understand that I live in Utah & BYU country and I am okay with that. What I am not okay with is that all I have heard about in the well over 100 hours of radio coverage is only one mention of the SEC. That was the great conference divide and was a side note about how Texas A&M might go to the SEC. I get it we are focused on the Mountain West & now the PAC-12, but seriously the national champs are still in the SEC along with about 10 other great teams (sorry Vandy).
I just do not understand how a sports talk show can talk about Jake Heap, BYU's freshman quarterback, and whether he will start or not for 12 hours a day. I get it already he is supposed to be good. The SEC has a couple good quarterbacks too & they aren't freshman. The SEC also has a Heisman Trophy Winner. Don't worry he has also NOT BEEN MENTIONED. However, on the brink of going insane I found something great. Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly is on the WEB. I listened. I laughed. I cried. It was a good day. Today I will listen to Bo and the crew and try and find a little serenity in this hectic world. Sporst Talk covers the University of Arkansas, the SEC, and other national stories (imagine that). If anyone else is stranded starving for SEC football coverage you can catch it here. The show airs live from 1-4 PM CT. Thanks Bo for keeping us stranded Hog fans alive.

Friday Farewells for June 18, 2010
This edition of the Four6Three's Friday Farewells is brought to you by your local World Cup Soccer team, here to help you tie up the competition.
Farewell:
NBA Season. The Season is over, but it went as long as it possibly could and we are not talking about only game 7 but the six months that are the NBA playoffs. Seriously the playoffs started April 17th and finished on June 17th. TWO MONTHS. Four tears for each year of my life the NBA has taken with its extraordinarily long playoffs. No wonder I don't watch the regular season.
Restraint. Laker fans we get it you hate the Celtics, but booing a 200 year old legend while he is awarding your star the Finals MVP is a little much. I don't care if Bill Russell is your worst enemy you don't boo one of the greatest players ever while he is handing your best player a trophy. Two tears for the over-exuberance of an entire arena.
Mountain West. University of Utah has left the best Non-BCS conference for the PAC10. The original BCS busters have either Really busted the BCS for good or simply sold out. It makes one wonder if Utah Senator Orin Hatch will continue his crusade against the BCS. Only time will tell. Two sentimental tears for the Utes two BCS victories.
Conference Expansion Rumors. The hottest water cooler or sports radio show topic has been college expansion, but with Itah getting in the Pac-10 all that is behind us right?!? Sure it is unless you are listening to Jerry Jones and the rumors concerning Arkansas & Notre Dame to the Big 12. So maybe the summer of fun isn't over yet, Arkansas A.D. has said Arkansas is not interested. Lots of tears. What else am I going to do all summer if the rumors stop, WORK?
Field Goals. In one of the best defensive displays in NBA history or one of the most pathetic offensive performances the Lakers scored 12 out of their last 19 points form the free throw line where even there it looked as though there was a lid on the basket. The Lakers shot 32.5% while the Celtics were on fire shooting 40.8%. Kobe & Ray Allen combined for a 9 for 38 shooting night, which happens to be exactly what I shot at the rec center last week so next week I will be announcing to whoever decides to guard me that I am as good as Allen and Bryant combined. Don't worry I know how peposterous that statement is, my crossover and post game are way better. Tears YES! I don't mind watching defensive basketball that was fantastic, but somebody mix in a make. Maybe I am still bitter about the missing years of my life.

UTES GO PAC-10!
Utah has been officially invited to join the PAC-10! We need not wait their response to begin the coronation. Acceptance by Utah is guaranteed as they have expressed interest and would be crazy not to accept. This makes the MWC addition of Boise State proves not to increase the conferences stature, but does help them maintain status as the best Non-BCS Conference.
The Utes will make it a 12 team PAC-10, that will likely be divided into two divisions. We think the most sensible solution would be to do a North division with Washington, Washington St., Oregon, Oregon St., Colorado, & Utah. The South would then include the four California schools and the two Arizona schools. This makes sense and would keep all the regional rivalries together on a yearly schedule, which means the division will probably be something else.
