I wonder how many of the 1000+ Yes votes are readers of this forum? Is there really that much interest in UConn in the Great Plains? Or do they just recognize that UConn is their best chance to save the B12? Because without the B12, K-State is screwed.
Is it June yet, that's my only question for you Mr.
I kinda Tim that whole article and poll as tongue in cheek. I voted early (I came across it well before it was posted here) and we already had like 800+ votes.
The part about following the B1G's lead when they added Rutgers for their eyeballs kind of gave me that impression. Taking a swipe at the Big 12 by asking why they would want to follow what the B1G did, when we all know the B1G has been extremely successful.
JMO though.
You just remember who inspired you to change your avatar!!!! Mr....Is it June yet, that's my only question for you Mr.
Oh great, I cannot wait to field insults from a fanbase whose constituents are academically incapable of attending UConn and root for a sports program that this year's football, m/w basketball and baseball had/have a worse record than us. This will be fun.
I posted here awhile ago what a friend had shared with me who works for one of the networks about uconn and cincy being the teams if the big12 expands. He still stands by that statement. Personally I want the Uconn program in the big12. The academics, basketball and North East connection can only benefit the conference long term.
That being said I see a lot of people on this board that talk an amazing amount of crap considering the program they cheer for has been passed up by Tcu, West Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville and Rutgers since all this began. Uconn probably shouldn't have waited until the 2000's to make the commitment to football like they did. Also I read about how competitive you guys have been playing football in the AAC and the big east. That's laughable. If KSU and Uconn flipped schedules last year uconn would have been at best a 4-8 team in the big12 and would be another Iowa State, KU like program in the only sport that matters for quite sometime in this league. Ask West Virginia (much better program) what the transition to the big12 has been like on the field for them. Ask TCU what their first two seasons were like. Point is for an AAC team that keeps getting left in the cold a lot of you like to talk crap about the Iowa states and Kstates of the world. Yes, Kstate was grandfathered in and very lucky for it. However, Ksu has proven it belongs at this level. Uconn has played it's entire football history in the minor leagues.
I hope your school gets the invite. Your fanbase however considering you've been a D1 program for all of 15 years thinks a tad bit to highly of itself. To sum it up, if you get the invite keep those Ncaa tourneys coming. Football wise you're going to your asses kicked here for awhile.
I hope you have a better contingency plan this time when Snyder retires for good. K-State was lower than Rutgers until he came along, so you can fall off your high horse.I posted here awhile ago what a friend had shared with me who works for one of the networks about uconn and cincy being the teams if the big12 expands.

That's what everyone said when UConn joined theBig East for football in 2004. We won two Big East championships in the next seven years and played in a BCS bowl game. Uconn athletics have consistently won on a national level when given a level playing field. I look forward to the challenge of playing a P5 football schedule.I posted here awhile ago what a friend had shared with me who works for one of the networks about uconn and cincy being the teams if the big12 expands.

OP continues to troll here...enough with the stupid car wash...
That's great. Imagine if K-State hadn't waited until the 1990's to become competitive in football (I do remember reading some years back, when Snyder took KSU to their first B-12 title game that at that point in their history the school had more winless seasons than they had winning seasons). My question is what happens when Snyder retires for good (or are you hoping he lives to 120)? It seems that he is the only person who has ever been able to solve KSU's football puzzle.I posted here awhile ago what a friend had shared with me who works for one of the networks about uconn and cincy being the teams if the big12 expands.
