I don't see why you guys are worried. I mean winning is obviously for winning winners who love to win and not only be winners on the court but also win while winning in the classroom. And winning while monitoring the situation!

Win/win situation the way I see it.

Aha.....I think I figured out the strategy.....he is legally compelling one of the other power conferences to take us because of inadequate representation!

The purpose of doing these shows is to make your fans feel better. Listening to him just makes us feel worse. Please stop doing these Warde until you have something to say.

I can't find the podcast, so I'll glean from the comments that manuel didn't say anything particularly constructive.

I do have a a question, though. For those who listened to it, put on your tinfoil hats for one second. Wearing that tinfoil hat, assume that UConn is engaged in fruitful dialogue with the Big Ten through Susan Herbst. Manuel is to go out there and speak to the masses. If you listened to Manuel's interview with the Big Ten supposition in mind, does his performance make more sense to you?

No.

UConn has no shot at the Big Ten, and he knows it.

Unfortunately no, but with a really powerful tin cap the fact Michigan, Michigan State and Univ of Chicago were mentioned...sure done deal to the B1G.

I don't believe the Big 10 nonsense. But Manuel has to stay positive. He can't be wailing and moaning like some on this board. He's saying all the things that you have to say in this situation. Our only landing spot is the ACC, and that doesn't happen until the ACC gets poached by the Big ____ conference, which is likely to happen in the next couple of years. So you wait. You stay positive. You continue to move forward, and act like a big boy. That's how you act.

He wasn't staying positive so much as avoiding our new reality. Joe D tried to throw him a softball asking about how realignment decisions and lobbying is done at the president level, not the AD level. Warde answered that he actually did make a few phone calls to the Catholic AD's today to gauge how they were feeling. He's a putz.

Judging from his comments about the BE (I didn't listen, just going off the comments), I think this is good. The quote from that "so-called" insider scared me earlier in the day about how they were trying to join the CYO league.

For once, I think Manuel is saying the right thing here. The best thing UConn can do is stay with the football schools until it gets a chance to join the ACC. It's pretty cut-and-dried. In the meantime, ESPN should be docked every single dollar it pays the ACC over and above its current contract.

He didn't commit to staying with the football schools. He pretended that the Catholic schools didn't have one foot out the door.

One earlier tweet I read had him staying in the BE no matter what happens with those schools.
