According to reports from muliple Big 12 people, UCONN is out of expansion consideration. It looks like a terrible football team and a fan base that can't be bribed to attend home games doomed the Connies. Word from the Connie "fans" is that the school gave away 23,000 free tickets this week in hopes of getting 30,000 in the stands.

Is that the truth or just a comment from someone that does not know in truth???

 

[Stainmaster]

Inclined to believe that someone who refers to us as the "Connies" doesn't follow sports.

 

[Hoophound]

Ridiculous. Not true.

 

[huskeynut]

There is all sorts of "reports" about Big 12 expansion, who is in and who is out.

My guess is that none of these reports have any basis in fact. Just more BS.

Jim Vandenberg is the go to source for all things Big 12 expansion-related. We're screwed.

 

[JSM1970]

Yes, but this past week multiple people are reporting this similar thing. So maybe there is something to it, but who knows. The latest that likely not likely to go to 4 almost makes it definite UConn is out.

I agree with the likelihood they don't even expand.

You really think a guy who has no FB picture posting on the conversation board on ESPN is accurate. No. We're fine, the only other source saying we are out is the Dude. Stop panicking. Not only that, his comment on attendance is obviously false. We sold more than 7000 tickets.

So if he had a FB picture that would make him accurate?

At least less unaccurate.

 

[shizzle787]

Btw, that dude now has 22 likes, so I am betting funny business is going on (also notice all the spam posts that reply to his posts).

 

[Hoophound]

It's fake. Just dismiss it entirely.

The. "Multiple Big 12 people" we're the three other drunks in his living room watching the game.

Are you a idiot?

 

[JSM1970]

Thamel was on Joe D & Gresh and basically said all his sources say UConn is out because 4 team expansion likely done and UConn is outside the top 2

Who knows honestly, my expectations are low, would be a pleasant surprise

We were done before we started.

Pack it in boys.

 

[Kolumbo]

This is true. They only expected 7,000 for this home game against the ACC's UVA. The invitation was signed, sealed and stamped until the Big 12 saw a few empty rows at The Rent and reneged. Great find.

 

[JSM1970]

I think the football only has legs. Limited payout, Fox gets UConn into BE for hoops, create some scheduling thing where UConn will play 3-4 b12 games yearly home and away

Pack it in boys.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Really good crowd today. Even up til the alma mater!

I bought my two 'pw2016' giveaway tix yesterday for $15.00 each.

[Adios]

I am having a tough time understanding why this thread was created.

 

[ScottBonz]

You're killing the good name of all the UCONN Pharms on here man...well the mediocre name....but you're not helping.

 

[Devland]

If his reports were true. I don't know what I would feel worse about. The fact that we were rejected by the Big12 or that I am one of the few people that actually paid for my ticket. I feel like a sucker. Oh well at least I've got $7 million coming to me once I send a check to some guy in Nigeria.
