That makes it more interesting actually. I doubt she went to visit her son in Chicago for lunch. It was a very quick trip, but for what?
 
Like Hoophound is saying, that was an awful fast trip. It's really strange that she went all that way to Chicago just to come back so fast. Something is definitely going on.

What exactly was she doing in Chicago? That's the question. She's seemed a little nervous when approached by Bill. She was a bit standoffish. What was she hiding? What was on her mind? She might have had a lot of sensitive details on a Big 10 invitation she was rolling over in her mind. She was probably thinking "Don't mess this up, Susan, don't mess this up. Remember to watch your P's and Q's and let's get this deal closed."
 
Any Warde sightings? He may be consumed with football this week and the start of basketball. I can see Susan driving this time as our athletic future is likely closely aligned with AAU status.

EDIT: first person to respond monitoring wins!!

Bonus points if responds using both 'monitoring' and a donut or pastry reference.

Actually there seems to be much less WM hate since he pulled the trigger on FHCPP

WM has bought himself some time by taking decisive action to can PP and GDL - but it won't be long before the steady drum beat regarding our horrid conference situation grows louder.

I hope the BOT, SH and WM don't take a breather in what should be their relentless effort to get us ... out of the AAC.
 
We need to improve our conference affiliation but I think we might be wise to win our current one first.

We should make a nice run at the conference title and even a Final Four this year so basketball should be enjoyable for us.

If TJ can deliver the goods and get the football team going during conference play I'll feel a lot better about being in the AAC for a little while. Losing in the AAC is far worse than just being in the AAC.
 
Not to be a downer but someone said she was visiting her son a U of Chicago. Does anyone know if she has a son there?

Her son's name is Daniel Hughes per a UConn today article and was 16 in December of 2010, so he's likely 19 now, of college age. I also noted (EDIT: on another thread) that Susan does do editing for the University of Chicago press.

Well, I know that I often get accused of being a wet blanket around here, but it's been pretty well established that the very last place that the Big Ten has discussions with target expansion schools is at their offices or even the Chicago area. Nebraska's president was even bound by a confidentiality agreement to not disclose the off-the-radar location that the Big Ten had used for their meetings (as they wanted to keep it as a secret location for highly sensitive discussions like expansion), which makes sense since (a) the Big Ten headquarters always has reporters hanging around, which makes keeping things secret very difficult there and (b) they figured out quickly that there are crazies like us that track the airplanes of university presidents.

I'll throw you a bone, though. If you really want to engage in tinfoil hat airplane tracking speculation, it would be more instructive to look out for private plans (NEVER commercial) going from both the Chicago Executive Airport (the corporate jet facility in the north suburbs formerly known as Palwaukee Airport that the top Big Ten brass would be using for these types of meetings as opposed to O'Hare) and Hartford landing about the same time in the same place that's nowhere near either Chicago or Hartford. That would be the type of scenario which should more reasonably get you excited than a standard commercial flight from Hartford to O'Hare.

Or this:

Following his team's loss on Sunday, Kraft flew from Buffalo, N.Y., to Brainard Airport in Hartford on Monday afternoon, and then he headed to the meeting with Rowland at an undisclosed location. Officials have refused to say where the meetings are being held to avoid the television cameras and questions by reporters. Monday's meeting started at the governor's mansion in Hartford, but then it was reconvened at another location.

Hey! I told you guys what to look for in terms of tracking planes. Once again, watch for private plans out of Chicago Executive Airport (NOT O'Hare).

I know a lot of the guys don't appreciate your frankness and honesty from your midwestern viewpoint but I do as do most of the B1Gboys.Its not always popular but I want to hear it like it is as its only another view!I believe UConn would enhance the B1G(esp in BB) in the NYC to Boston corrider and will soon get an invite(before the next TV contract)locking out the ACC which only then will the ACC realize how foolhardy they were!

At least you let it get to 100 posts , Frank, that something.

Frank, I know that you are the voice of reason, but at least we got to escape the reality of the purgatory we are in right now for a few days. At least we have Coach P gone, he crony GDL too! Our team is energized and a huge weight is off their shoulders. Ollie and company are gearing up, they have a great recruiting class, and academically Herbst is going to bring us to were we need to be. Things in the AAC stinks but we seem to be heading back to the top again.

Who would you hire if you were Manual? Clean house?

Susan's monitoring the Chicago scene at Warde's request.

Yup, there's still a piece of the pie left, no need to hurry.

How do you know it's an honest assessment? What body of work do you base that on? Almost all, if not all, of these experts have a personal agenda which does not align with ours. So based on the tank we should delete the cr board as our lot has been cat for eternity. I for one am mad as hell and I not going to take it anymore.
