In all fairness there is a stationary bike for warming up behind the bench. I don't think anyone has tweeted about it, or made it a condition precedent for a Big XII invite, but still...

Whaler11 meet Butch.

@Fishy There's a frickin free for all going on. Do your frickin job man.

 

[Adios]

These last two posts belong in the shaming thread.

So the new Blauds story that he posted, knowing where UConn won't be going, does anyone have access? Does it have any useful info?

My best guess is he is trying to monetize his blog, and conference realignment rumors create traffic. For every "scoop" he may get, however, there is probably 25 posts of just his conjecture. The twitter rumor out there now, that I have seen a couple of places, is that the B12 adds 2 this time and then 2 more in a year. Why? To keep fan bases hoping that a rescue is on the way after they don't make the cut.

The Blauds tweet first and foremost should be deleted from the premium-top-shelf thread. Any clown who wants to charge $20 a year to read his opinions....who pays these fees?!
The little blurb which is free: "But TMGcollegesports.com knows where the Huskies WILL NOT be playing." Let me save you the suspense. The Big 12.

1) You're wrong about the blurb
2) Thank you for your interest in moderating the boneyard

So enlighten us if you know.

No Problem, and no offense. I just don't see it as an important tweet when no one can read it and there is a 0.5% chance he is saying anything original. Or is he?

 

[pepband99]

So enlighten us if you know.

LOL - it's in the thread I posted before "top shelfing" it, about 2 posts above you making fun of me for posting it. Good to see you're on point.

Yes, he's a washed up sportswriter trying to make a buck. I can't fault him. Is he "key"? Only in the sense that he absolutely has connections in the old Big East crowd, including one Mike Tranghese, who happens to acting as a consultant to UConn on CR matters. If he's talking about what the Big 12 will do, or B1G will do...he's got no sources. When he's talking about the Big East or UConn in this case, he may well have connections.

Maybe if you stopped playing internet police you wouldn't look like such a dope?

The most useful info is Blauds is a .

My wife and I ran a 35 ft sailboat out of Florida for a couple of decades....have circumnavigated Florida from Panama City to Key West to St. Augustine...also have cruised to the Bahamas a couple of times. You can see the coral heads and water depth in daytime running.

Never cruised New England..we thought about a rental but went to Tortola instead.

New England is a beautiful cruising ground....I often wondered about the rocky ledges vs running your keel into a sand bank...I crewed a boat that went on the Isla Mujeres-Tampa run...the coral was no problem.

WTF?

so you posted Blaud's tweet in the premium-top-shelf-tweets thread, you are discussing it in this commentary-thread-for-premium-top-shelf-tweets, and we still don't know what the all-knowing Blauds is writing about. Fascinating, in my opinion. Let's see, UConn will NOT be playing in the ACC, B1G, SEC, PAC 12, Big 12, C-USA...

 

[TRest]

WTF?

I rented a Sunfish once and sailed it off Hawk's Nest Beach.

Damn man. As if listening to "A Pirate looks at 40" doesn't make me melancholy enough. Not sure why it is in this thread though.

Yes we do.

He floated ACC football only and Big East for everything else.

It's not as though that hasn't been discussed 100 times here. It's probably more realistic now though if the AAC loses teams

ACC or AAC football? Yeah, I thought the general consensus was that UConn will be all-in no matter which conference it is in. In my opinion, Big East is a big NO, as is football only in any conference.

UConn is a state flagship. It must be all-in unless it wants to fold its football program altogether.

Obscure?!!! Hardly.

Meanwhile, you can't criticize my post criticizing another post as OT for being OT. It's in the rules...or something.

Sorry AAC obviously.
