From The AAC Fan Forum: Big Ten TV Rep At Game

[UCONNJACK]

RE: Aresco in Hartford Courant: challenge series with another league maybe coming
Figure I would put this here. On the UConn board they have a staff hidden forum for staff and mods people and they supposedly were talking about how the athletic director sits at a table on the baseline for the games and sometimes they have interesting people spotted with or near him. One of my friends told me about the thread. He's a mod of the forum. Supposedly a guy named Jake Burroughs was there yesterday. They were saying he's a TV guy involved with the big ten. I guess this isn't the first time he has been spotted at a UConn game or on campus this season.

i think everyone going to the game should now just stay home and tune in on your tv.

Somebody needs to bring a big banner saying UConn is B1Gger than this.

I was planning on bringing a poster board saying "Save Us B1G" but I figured that would be too obvious and would get confiscated. Not to mention I didn't get supplies and don't feel like walking around the bars with a poster.

This provides a modicum of hope, so I like it. But it's a crock. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

Why would the B1G be sending a TV rep to look at our campus? What's the TV rep checking for?

"Yup guys, they have spots for cameras to set up in Gampel, it's a go."

TV reps would likely be talking to TV partners. There is nothing they would need to see in person. If they said that individuals on the B1G Expansion Committee were checking out our campus, there may be some credence to it.

Until then...

Fan fest has poster boards and markers.

We have a secret board? What is this, Syracusefan.com?

Problem solved. There is nothing like using AAC supplies to make anti-AAC signs.

Multi-screen that to every network you can. I'll have ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPN News on
