nuff said (over and out....)

verducci is the worst OC I've seen since the Yankee Conf. OMG, just beyond an embarrassment.

You don't invest your families' money, do you?

They'll be studying these folks for years to come in business school: Disfunctional Organizations...

So Gee says not a dead issue. Not putting any stock on his fav four. so expansion likelihood feels like around 15% this go-around. Thought it was 0% before his post.

Beat SinCGnatty (gotta start somewhere)

BBall is our 'brand'. Just because B12 (and ACC) didn't see the value, doesn't mean the networks won't. So agreed, we should exit AAC and look to form alliances with individual programs. I just think we should work from our strength (bball) and take care of this first and foremost. Football's...

Progam Note to Fellow Posters: I get it.........looks grim for our Big12 invite. But last time I checked, this has not been announced. It is highly unlikely but not inconceivable that they take 4 including UCONN. Can we stop shoveling dirt on the carcass till the official announcement?

Idk why, but your avatar disturbs me. Can u change ?

Yes, but the cable providers are/will experience much less revenues from less users. They will gladly pay twitter (and others) to feed games of regional interest. If twitter/google for example figure out how to create an interactive experience that can be monetized, it'll work.

You are correct, Fishy. But....their future parent WILL figure it out. They might just be a player in UCONN's future negotiations.

in prior reporting, ESPN referred to 'probably down to two' . since they seem to know the most among the news folks, the fact that they didn't refer to 'only two' felt notable to me. capeche?

from Trotter (top shelf tweet) Quick take: ESPN not saying 'only 2', seems like more of an opening, but.... they are totally confused and of different minds. DISFUCTIONAL.

UT = Queen of the Mean Girls (the other Texans).

I used to be of that opinion. But not anymore. The landscape will be much different when these GOR's expire (or sooner). If we can hold out (we can) and improve the program even marginally, our strengths will be well suited in the post-ESPN world. We should stick it out one way or the other.

Speaking of horses... I remember the sooner horses pulling a covered wagon w a crazed cowboy at breakneck speed when we played them in the Fiesta. Gotta admit: they were intimidating... Go fox, go Sooners, go Flug, go UCONN!

I agree, although most of you say not a chance. If BYU doesn't change the Code, it appears they are out of consideration. So where the BJ-sus (pardon) does that leave UCONN?

"the conditions offered...." It's just shameful that we have been forced to kow-tow to the Texas connection. Oh yeah, and ESPN!! Only the sound of thousands of cutting chords make me feel slightly better. Sure hope the "other potential home" has a chance.

Good points made, but I disagree. Nelsons' point is valid on the Utah business/corporate impact. In the words of the great Bobby Dylan...."oh the times, they are a changin'..."

That's cause for optimism. Listen, I was just at the Bama game last Saturday. They love religion, but Roll Tide is waaay up there on the pecking order. So, I reckon BYU gets 'religion' and comes public with modified Honor Code.

Blather/Rinse/Repeat

speaking of key tweets..... with about a month till the meetings, is sure is QUIET out there. makes me say 'hmmmm'.

Saya (and the good doctor) FreekaNara!

theyre running ramshod over your thread.......FISHY??

Agree. this will help the OL with the running game, as well as set up for the occasional down-field opportunity.

Once he leaves the pocket, his brain focus' on gaining yards by running. he missed his only pass-on-the-run attempt......badly. If this facet doesn't improve (like now) teams will pulverize us. If he cannot pass on the move, he Has to be replaced.

me too...my bad.

this is among the first times UCONN has been mentioned as a 1/2 pick without naming CINCY. A good development....

Our 40th reunion this oct (hall)

Kenny Ober went to Hall. A former good friend. "we are........(H)all High"

Thanks Charley Horse. Everything is going to be ok! (cue the men in white coats.....)

Class of '80 (sorry dudes, but you missed it!!!!)

Agree, but why is exiting the AAC necessary for our football survival. Aren't there any other possibilities out there?

Look, were not likely to be 'invited' to the B12 unless they get a TV deal, which is where we bring our leverage. Sad that we're a great fit for BIG and/or ACC because of same. So in the absence of a TV deal, and in light of the new TV environment and future, we should figure out how best to...
