I wonder if any Nebraska fans are debating the merits of UConn's conference and coaching choices, its status, and its bowl and football championship prospects? Probably not. Neither are USF fans speculating about UConn's future. They just don't care.

I guess you have never heard of CSNBBS, where they AAC people are still damaged and bitter that we left.

But you care hank and we appreciate it.

Nebraska’s issue is that they have struggled mightily on the football field over the last decade plus. You can chalk it up more to bad hires and declining relevance than to any conference affiliation...

I wonder if their story has any relevance for Clemson. They actually think they are a major brand instead of a big fish in a small pond. I get the feeling Nebraska thought their brand would carry them. And Nebraska always felt like a bigger brand than Clemson to me.

Nebraska, probably not. They are comfortably in the Big Ten performing comfortably numb.
USF, most likely to some degree. USF and UConn both want to join a power conference so I'm sure both fan bases are following the various players, although no fan base is probably as obsessed as we UConn fans are.

USF (26 years) and UCF (30 years) are interesting stories because of their short histories similar to UConn (27 years) vs Nebraska (126 years).

Actually, I found it kind of funny that Hanks shot of the day is that we are an informed fan base that are aware and knowledgeable enough to discuss other teams. Not much of a criticism. Frankly, I think Hanks lost his fast ball. (Not that he ever really brought much heat.) 😆

Hank's shot of the day is that you're confusing informed and knowledgeable with envious and delusional. More than a hint of desperation tinges your fanbase's sentiments, as well. Woulda, coulda, shoulda...

Lol, and yet here you are on our message board desperately seeking attention of UConn fans. Kind of seems like the act of someone who is envious of us and delusional enough to believe his opinion matters. Keep being you, Hank. It's still entertaining, if unintentionally so. 😆
 
I don't think the large majority here is either confused or misinformed as we can easily spot a misanthrope when one surfaces and recognize their desperate cries for recognition. The delusion is thinking that anything said misanthrope writes is meaningful. Makes us wonder if you've been rejected by your own kind and have no place nor anything to celebrate.

Yeah, I'm desperate for the attention of UConn fans. Or, I'm simply interested in conference realignment, and UConn is one of only a few schools left with some potential to move up. Envy? My school is on the inside looking out, UConn is on the outside looking in, and though you're reluctant to admit it, USF is in the catbird seat.
 
I can't imagine having a life so meaningless that I would attempt to entertain myself by visiting a board comprised of fans of a school that I have no connection to for the purpose of reminding that fanbase that my school is on the inside while theirs is on the outside.

You don't need to blow smoke up our arses, if you're interested in alignment than post away (as several non-UConn fans do here but unlike you they want to actually positively contribute to discussion...looking at you @billybud, @CCSUblue, & @Ldandy) but you tend to always take an antagonistic stance that comes across as petulant.
My school is on the inside looking out...

Then by all means, go to your school's board and extol the virtues of your sacred club. Though I go back to my statement, perhaps you are here because although your school is "in", your school isn't doing great in terms of NCAA championships. Feel free to prove me wrong.
...UConn is on the outside looking in...

Truly more profound words were never uttered on this board before. Will you tell us that water is wet and that stars will be visible at night, because I need to mentally prepare for the next prophetic verbiage you'll bestow on us lowly heathens.
... and though you're reluctant to admit it, USF is in the catbird seat.

Ah, literacy is a challenge for some people I see, because if it wasn't, then some people could see that several posters (myself included) have posited that USF seems to be well poised compared to us considering their recruiting grounds, on campus stadium that is being built, and other factors.

Apparently so. It's kind of sad, well kind of sad for you, it's actually kind of hysterical for us.

By all means, feel free to keep posting "look at me" posts. It's entertaining.

No one is confusing anything. Most posters here are well informed, extremely knowledgeable, some perhaps as envious as I am of football programs of all stature already in a solid conference, and not at all delusional. We've got over 20 years of CR experience and have been on the receiving end of more steel toed boots to the crotch than anyone. On the flip side, we have national championship trophies galore. no desperation in these parts, no sirree.

Very interesting to see what happens with Michigan and USC who are firmly against the equity deal. What are the odds they go independent and agree to a scheduling agreement with one of the p4 like ND? Not likely but non-zero?
 
The only reason USC is against it is because they aren’t included in the top tier payout with Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State.

USC is included in a second tier payout with Oregon.

The other 14 are grouped together in a third tier payout.

Michigan isn’t leaving the Big Ten to go independent. If they wanted to leave- which they surely don’t- there is a more interesting theoretical option. With the Big Ten being so top-heavy and the SEC being so deep, would Michigan and Ohio State (and maybe Penn State) ever consider joining the SEC? It would basically be a super league at that point. Imagine those three and UNC joining the SEC…whoa.
