It makes me sad that we can't have nice things. It would be wonderful to know that seeing a certain thread at thr top of the board meant actual news and not endless riffing and rehashing of third party low content.

Anyway, before Fishy nukes the entire board for making a mess of his CR Zen Garden. Here is a thread to comment on any PTST's. You can link to the original if you need to.

My first pitch, has there been a PTST yet?
 
It doesn't matter, there's simply no way to avoid people making comments about tweets in any thread. It's already been violated like eight times.

If you really wanted no commentary thread, just lock it and give Jostar and the acc guy privledges to post there.
 
Violated by the man himself. I suppose he could delete replies to keep it down
 
It amazes me that grown men cannot read a rule that says "no commentary" and follow it. Jesus.

On topic: I feel my usual sense of dread re: all things conference realignment.

After he realized he's truly hopeless on here unless he wants to come off as a despot.

Commentary is inherent in the very nature of threaded message board software.

Fishy is using it in a way it was not designed for. Not at all surprised he didn't get the results he wanted.
 
It is admirable that Fishy tried to set guidelines for that thread...but it was do

Gee I don't know...it says don't post commentary so you don't post commentary...it's not that hard. It's hard to believe people are unable to resist the urge to comment. A little restraint isn't a bad thing.

It would be nice to have a thread where there is actual content...and not the same discussions from the same posters over and over. Plenty of other threads to do that.
 
Just keep things to a dull roar there.

It's not hard to honor a request that we can all benefit from, is it?

Says the guy who just posted a comment in the thread ignoring said request. :rolleyes:

I posted once facetiously because others were doing it, waited a while to even do that. Otherwise, I would have followed. :rolleyes:

Just a joke Butch... no worries.
 
Something is up that Kasich is now on the stump for UC.

At least the Big 12 fans are noticing the market we provide now. Some do think we present more than Cincy and Houston (which is obvious).

He wrote letters on July 12th -- he didn't come public with this -- it was unearthed. Take it with a grain of salt.

This is the proper use of the PTST's Commentary thread, assuming it is already posted in the primary PTST thread. Do we need to hold class?

I'm a big believer in the rule of law. If you're not supposed to do it, don't do it.

He doesn't need to explain:

NCAA Championships
Texas - 44
Oklahoma - 25
UConn - 21
WVA - 19
Houston - 17
ISU - 14
BYU - 10
Cinci - 2 (last one in 1962, first one in 1961)
Memphis - 0

Memphis' trophy case looks very similar to Rutgers'.
 
On the Temple link. It is technically correct that one, two or three times won't decimate the AAC. That's only because of the actual definition of 'decimate'.
 
What it might decimate is the television contract.

Losing two of UConn, Houston or Cincinnati is grounds to blow it up.
 
I believe Temple is also one of the teams whose departure would cause the contract to self-destruct. UConn and Cincy were thought to be the next to go, and I guess Houston and Temple have two huge markets.

I'm glad someone at Temple is talking about the Big XII (re: the article in the top shelf tweets thread) and I think we would be a good add in a little more rational universe (big city, untapped college football fandom.) Paying rent at the Linc wouldn't be an issue if we had some of that sweet network welfare, so Texas and Oklahoma could come play at a sold out NFL stadium. And we'd be a nice bridge between WVU and UConn!

(Not getting my hopes up in any meaningful way, of course.)
