UCONN TO THE ACC (extremely misleading)

[DALTX]

The guy who made this headline also works at a car wash:

Caption was not meant to be misleading. I am sorry if anyone thinks so. Anyway, this Wake Forest guy was not an employee, I am not an employee, it wa two basketball fans just passing time. As I said, take it for what it is worth, make fun, etc.. I don't care, I just found it interesting this guy would fee the need to share this story yet again. Take it for what it is worth, but I am not going to lose sleep over what he or anyone tells me.

Praying this is sarcasm.

Nope. Just a chance to take a totally irrelevant shot at our AD. I give him credit for being able to take the irrelevant cheap shot without using the word "donuts" thought.

By the way the guy was driving 2015 Range Rover, not a beat up 1980 chevy pick up with rusty bumpers.

Did his Chauffeur have the day off?

What color?

Blue and White

 

[businesslawyer]

Blue and White

So it IS true! Why didn't he put that in the OP and we could have saved this entire thread.

 

[TheRogers]

I'll have to corroborate this wish the shoe shine guy at Bradley. If the stories match we start popping the bubbly!

 

[Durks07]

What color?

Hopefully green and covered in pictures of dead presidents.

was black, gold interior

That was my second guess.

Actually ,it's the NC schools plus UVA, and VT , that want us the most.
Acedemically they would view us as very desirable.
Another state flag ship ,especially adjacent to NYC is our biggest selling point

FSU, Clemson, Louisville, and Pitt probably are pretty neutral
There really is only is Cinn and Us
The ACC doesn't want another Fla school , and Tobacco Road won't accept Memphis .
Louisville was at desperate times.
Cuse and BC , I see as the biggest challenge.
But the realality is those two have the most to gain from us .

I would certainly prefer the B1G ,but if the ACC calls we're in no position to refuse

If UConn football has some success next year we become exponetially valuable.

Thats interesting I would think Clemson and FSU would want us the least right there with BC. They get enough slack in college football because they play in a bad football conference and UConn certainly wouldn't help

You think I'm in the mood for this today?

Like recruiting CR is fluid. The factors and their weight that took place around the last CR are not necessarily the same or weighted as strongly if any future CR takes place.

Greensboro here we come!

Serious question...Besides BC, Cuse, FSU, Clemson, Miami, What were the other schools to block us from the ACC the time they took Louisville?

Cuse wasn't a voting member at that time. They just volunteered that they prefer 'ville.

The Dude of WVU strikes again!!!!!-!

I always wondered what his day job was.

That got their way on Louisville
Other than us and Cinncy ,there is not much else
FSU might not be thrilled but having more of NE presence helps them also.
Other than the Big 12 falling apart who else is there?
Another FLA school doesn't help them , ECU ,same objection.
Tulane,SMU ,Houston, Memphis either geographically or academically wrong
We're also talking conference presidents making these decisions.

Conspiracy Kitty says:
Well that M-Fer better not be yanking us around. The last time some car wash guy tried that it ended badly...

...for him.

Instant Classic.

File "at the car wash" into boneyard lore.

I was thinking that. It would be even more epic if this somehow happened.

But we remember things, from love potions to the BeneDuke 5, so I don't see this going away.

At some car washes they tell you this.

At this one they tell you, "Have a P5 day!"
