That ECU would rather be in the Big 12 than the American?

I'm pretty sure Mike Aresco knows that. Should we be all be insulted he would rather be the commissioner of the Pac 12?

Half the teams in the league are holding a public campaign - the other half are holding a private campaign.

Why would Aresco take any of it personally?
I think it's pretty lame to be doing that on social media. Maybe that's what bothered me most about it. I don't mind lobbying to a better conference but using Twitter to do so just felt childish.

Greenville to Morgantown, 475 miles.
Storrs to Morgantown, 528 miles.

Greenville Airport versus Bradley?

Greenville barely flies anywhere - they'd have to stop over in DC.

the coldest game was Houston. I was freezing my ass off until i stormed the field
I mean, maybe you're right. I think the temperature was nearly 70 during the tailgate. Given it was the middle of November, it must have cooled off a bit. I remember someone in my group wanted to leave his sweatshirt in the car...

Can't we put up a picture of the Willimantic Motor Inn? That'll seal the deal.

Have to scroll down but short take on UConn

"With UConn, I’m being swayed here by a conversation I had with a TV executive this summer about the benefits of being in that part of the country. School administrators don’t like the hassle of being that spread out, but TV networks like the time zone flexibility, and anyone who’s paying attention realizes how much more power and influence TV networks have than school administrators."

Nice find. A return to Big Monday.

I like the idea of a beautiful Saturday afternoon in October when the University of Texas Longhorns or Oklahoma Sooners come to East Hartford and BC is playing at Wake Forest.

Can we also claim the entire state of PA, since Penn State's colors are the same as ours?

Just dominating those home states. Does Houston have a dot of red?
