Greg Swaim: Big12 About to Wake Up

[HuskyHawk]

There is a Boneyard banner up top, but only rarely does this board ever begin to resemble it.

There's no good reason to ban the mention of certain Twitter accounts and the heavy-handed profanity filter is childish.

It's so duck*ing strange.

Not much the rest of us can do about it.

You're right - 100% my fault for letting it happen.

The only thing you're at fault for Fishy is that disgusting avatar. I can't stand looking at it.

It was Christmas-y.

I'll find something new tonight.

If that's christmasy I'd hate to see your easter avatar

It's not quite as disturbing as a clown or a mime, but it's in the same ballpark. Perhaps Fishy will change his avatar to annoy us further.

I thought that Jacob Marley never looked better!

I always wondered if that was Marley!

Greg Swaim Show ‏@GSwaim
@HokieHack Not what I'm hearing. Still #VT and possibly #NCState or #UNC to #SEC. They want those TV markets.

That huge Blacksburg market!!!!!!!

I think the Big 12 would be smart to get Cincy/Louisville/GT/FSU/Miami/Clemson. All of those schools would not leave the B12, besides GT with a 2.13% chance at the B1G.

All I want for Easter is the re birth of Christ and we go to the ACC with Tulane. If we never play another game at the FBS level, that day would be worth it.

Just going to say one thing. Not one rumor in the history of conference realignment was reported before it happened. This is not happening

Pitt-Cuse and Maryland-Rutgers and Ville to the ACC were all rumored or reported before they happened.

Tuxedo Yoda just posted this article from last May where the TCU AD said that FSU, Clemson and Miami were trying to get into the Big XII Conference:

During a morning speech on the campus of Texas Tech University, Del Conte said that the once left for dead Big XII Conference “now has schools like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami trying to get in,” according to redraidersports.com.

Del Conte also appeared on a sports talk radio show later and said, “Let’s not rush into anything. We know expansion has to happen. It may not be for a while. We are in the catbird seat right now,” according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

While Florida State’s interest in the Big XII has been public knowledge, Del Conte’s words were the first official confirmation on the record that FSU had looked to get into the Big XII. But the addition of Miami may catch Hurricanes fans off guard.

So were a lot of other combinations that never happened. ESPN does not have to turn up the dial with the ACC that much to stop expansion in its tracks.

Not in articles by McMurphy and Blaudschun they weren't. When the reports came out from those sources, they preceded anything reported on ESPN and any official announcement. True, the rumors came first from the boards, but as you say, those were mixed with false rumors, but the reports came long before the announcements.

McMurphy tweeted that he had not heard of any moves by ACC teams. McMurphy reports something about 48 hours before it happens. He is never way out in front of a story.

I thought it was Iggy Pop!

NC State and VT would be likely if UNC and UVA go to the SEC.

Add to that the blocking of more than one picture in the same post that killed the football look-a-like thread tradition.

Really? I thought it was a picture of Coach P.
