[Dooley]

I guess the announcement will be in the morning?

They are waiting for Cassell to commit first.

Unfortunately, no one will take you seriously if you're not from West Virginia - you just have to roll with that part.

One thing is for sure. This trip was absolutely for a private meeting. Nothing publicly scheduled for her in Chicago anytime soon. She was publicly scheduled to be in Chicago at the end of last August for a UConn alumni gathering.

Maybe she is having a tryst with Michael Jordan?

Maybe she is having a tryst with Michael Jordan?

Or maybe the Chicago Blackhawks.

Are there any connecting flights out of O'Hare? I can't remember.

She flew Southwest (commuter jet) into Midway.

United flight into O'Hare.

As far as I know, O'Hare only has missed connections and 2 hr delays. I don't think Warren Buffet has enough money to pay me to fly through Chicago.

Come on guys, be realistic...there is no chance she was in Chicago for B1G discussions....that is just ridiculous...you are losing all credibility with that suggestion...she was clearly in Chicago to finalize the contract with Pat Fitzgerald to be the new football coach!

 

[UConn9604]

Haha I love that this made it over to the CSNbb board.

FWIW she was definitely on the flight to Chicago. I have no idea if she was connecting or what she was doing there. I said a quick hello, introduced myself as an alumni and current part time student that has appreciated what she has accomplished so far. She was nice but didn't seem too up for chatting so I left it at that.

There's always this paralyzing thought:

Maybe she's interviewing for another job. After all, Michigan's President announced that she (Michigan's President) is retiring at the end of this year.

Well, that would certainly follow the model of "if it can kick UCONN in the nuts, do it" that everything else in CR seems to be following.

Great! Another UConn insider in the B1G!

 

[ZooCougar]

This must explain the five large unmarked boxes that arrived on campus from Chicago in the first week of October.

Just saying.

 

[HuskyHawk]

It could be just B1G related, perhaps seeking support for AAU membership.

 

[UConn Dan]

yes...we're back!

west virginia, unc, florida state, tv markets, aau, logos, travelling partners, texas, delaney, hathaway, scheduling, winter, high school football, continuity, uva, pods, nyc, population trends, fresh water, plains, endowment, BC, SWOFFORD, ND.

god that felt good.

We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.

What if she was sneaking off for a secret rendezvous with a special "friend" on the side? Now, because one fan of her institution was on her flight, she will need an entirely new cover story. "The Internet: keeping celebrities faithful one blog post at a time!"

Bob Bowlsby?

Any UConn insiders heard anything in regard to AAU membership? Are we in talks... remember this thread "Ray Dunaway reports UConn to AAU inside a year"? Well, we have surpassed the half way mark... anyone have a scoop? I'm thinking if we get AAU status that will put pressure on the ACC to take us as a preemptive strike to ward off the B1G from entering New England and to hamper the B1G's NY market strategy.

[huskypantz]

So are we in the B1G yet? How long does it take to sign paperwork?

 

[CL82]

In all seriousness, does the Dude have information about this?

I love that this thread points to that thread which points back to this thread.

RE: UConn President Susan Herbst in Chicago
This UConn poster claims to have been on the flight with her from Boston to Chicago.

Done deal.

[Stinger92860]

Besides the various AAU schools in the Chicago area, Is there any AAU related offices or similar?

The Dude mentioned yesterday and repeated today that Big news on B1G expansion coming...All we can do is hope, but after what we've been through in the past week. Could this be the seeds to a new beginning...????

not sure how often you actually fly through Chicago, but midway is a very good airport, rarely any delays.
