I completely dropped out during the AAC years. I used to watch every single UConn game pre AAC. Sob, maybe I'll even come back and post! Go Big East! That's all.

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but might the B12 implosion lead to a coalition of independents to negotiate a G5 type of carve out w/ some bowls and the expanded playoffs? This could get some steam with former P5 B12 leftovers as part of a coalition - and/or could such a coalition...

Here's how it goes babies: Fox gets a feel this year for how incredible a bump in ratings UConn brings for the Big East tournament. They start dreaming about a a Big East season and tourney with Syracuse, Boston College and Notre Dame. How do they do it? Only by adding those teams to Big Ten...

But just wanted to say that the combo of: Jack Z at QB, the Spanos Defense, the young receivers, Mensah, etc., its all got me excited to watch UConn FB again (and thinking we might surprise some folks, cough, Indiana, cough). Good times ahead, people.

They said he was coming up. It's 738 am now.

Assuming we have Hurley, I say 3 over next 10 years would be OK. 4 over next 12 would be better. 2 would be fine but not really special.

link: UConn still must climb big mountain to make NCAA case This article has turned me into a proponent for a move back to the Big East if we can get it. I know this will hurt FB scheduling and possibly FB SOS, but we need to protect the elite status of the Men's basketball program or we will...

Sorry, I am seeing this on my phone and am having a very negative reaction to the unspoken premise that the P5 distinction has any relevance to women's hoops. Power 5 preview and predictions

Could be a trap game for us. I think we are doomed!

Not to take away from the more pressing needs of society and/or those folks who may really need help/prayers, but how about some quick and dirty, non-denominational, #PositivityforPurvis. Lets collectively help him with the layups via positive energy. I predict he goes 8 for 9 from bunny...

I have not seen that before. Awesome!

Embarrassing! It looks like the B12 needs to pick up about 6 MBB championships to keep up with the P5 Joneses (all of which other P5s have a minimum of 11 - B12 has 5). Oh, unrelated note, the 1961 and 62 championships credited to the AAC below are Cincy's. Championships by current...

If UConn were in a P5 conference, the last NCAA MBB championship that could be claimed by the G5 would be UNLV's in 1990 - 25 years ago. Just saying - in the event any P5 conference commissioners are on the boneyard today. #whynoteatthewholef**kingpie?

Only on the boneyard, but on a couple of different computers, i get a quick flash blue screen when moving from thread to thread that reads: Please enable/Bitte aktiviere JavaScript! Veuillez activer/Por favor activa el Javascript! [?] I have tried to enable Javascript...

From VATech board: (starting around 2:30) https://twitter.com/VTVOICE/status/539617462854365184

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/15/sports/ncaafootball/for-an-fsu-football-player-a-hit-and-run-becomes-two-traffic-tickets.html?_r=0 There seems to be all sorts of getting pretty close to the fan.

My apologies if its already been posted. I did not see it. Good body slam of the NCAA + shots at the P5 money grab...

Somebody cited this on the VA Tech Board. Potential expert witnesses in the antitrust case? We should at least get them on retainer. https://ed.stanford.edu/news/ncaa-conference-affiliation-linked-academic-prestige-stanfordiowa-study

http://www.capitalgazette.com/sports/navy_sports/ph-ac-cs-navy-future-0815-20140814,0,317280.story?page=1 Rose colored glasses extrapolation: Navy and UND to ACC; Army and UConn to the B1G , BYU, Cincy, Boise to the B12

if we spank Maryland and then beat Michigan. Let's go Huskies!

this is crunch time for the school and we are not prepared

assuming July 1 is a meaningful date for ACC GOR, etc. (I am also working a theory that the Starks will be back in season 4 of Game of Thrones. Season 3 will be revealed as "all a dream" and/or the Red Witch will bring them back. )

I've booked some rooms for the Michigan game at the Marriott Residence Inn Hartford Downtown (coming from DC). One of my buddies (a Michigan alum) is coming. I've already represented to him that downtown Hartford will be partying in megaforce after the UConn victory. In reality, I don't know...

Now that APR is resolved? ACC GOR not yet binding? Maybe UConn and [GT?] before July 1? I need some hope people.

I saw this posted on the WVU site recently, not as a rumor but as an idea (w/r/t Boise and BYU). Seems like something we could possibly pursue. They need 2 teams. Why not pitch them a low ball offer football only ($5M?) and try to get into the Big East for the rest of our sports?

http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/041913aaa.html Syracuse is getting 2 home games w/ ND in the first 3 years of the scheduling deal. It looks to me like the ACC is making a play for Southern New England/NY. B1G may want to figure out a counter move, no?

Louisville deserves them too but we should be getting more. See thread: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=17&f=2755&t=11449018 Its great that we may stand in the way Louisville's bid for dual NCs (if their men beat Michigan) and that we also were there stopping Duke in 1999 (if the poster is...

I wonder how much additional investment is being made in UConn by the state and interested players because we have been left behind? Assuming, as I must, that we will eventually find ourselves in a power conference, will we be better off because of this limbo period? One minor example...

but i like his post: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=159&f=4582&t=11350683 oops. not coonskin cap - his handle is "buffalo lion" Sorry, you have to scroll down past the majoombas

Do we hear by end of today that we are in? Seriously, we should be asking for a parting gift out of Atlanta.

something must be going on. I still think its FSU and UConn to the B1G but now I think the B1G asks us first and only if we accept does FSU get to tag along as #16.

I'm sure half the folks on this board have already posted this argument but today, watching college game day, i decided it was time we got into the B1G so lets please get this done this week. This is what I propose: I dont see UVA or UNC being the first to move out of the ACC. I think the weak...
