Just out AP: UConn remains uncommitted to Big East

[sportsart]

How juicy:

The officials, who asked that their names not be used because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations, denied that Connecticut and Rutgers agreed to stay in the conference during a three-hour meeting among Big East football members on Monday.

I love sensitive and unnamed.

Herbst is an master at this. I hope she sticks around to see that $1B endowment happen.

Ever hear of schitzo (sp) effective disorder?

Sticky spot to be in. On the one hand, you know ya gotta get out of this mess. But on the other, you can't be so blatant about it that it totally looks foolish if the ACC doesnt call and ya end up back having to deal with the mess anyway.

 

[ctchamps]

No one will be able to say that we went about this in an underhanded sort of way, that's for sure. Herbst has been real upfront, which I think is terrific.

"HEY EVERYONE GET US OUUUUUUTTA HERE!" haha.

People will say anything but she will be able to hold her head up regarding the way she handled things. She is decisive and classy.

this has the sounds of a deal in the works. If I were a betting man I'd say we'll be ACC bound by the end of the year. But never under estimate the mis-direction. UCONN could also be in the Big 10.

This is the problem with the press, what Marinatto said was absolutely true. It was just taken out of context. While all of the participants pledged to move forward together - they were merely pledging to move forward thru the buffet line as he kept yelling from the back to move faster.

Yeah and Marinatto was probably making an extra plate to bring home to Tranghese...

No proof, but my hunch is the B1G may be in play. It would be a hoot. SU and Pitt wallow in ACC purgatory and UConn comes out ahead. Oh well one can dream can't one.

Nothing that Marinatto says has any relevance to our situation. Until Herbst comes out and says we are committed to the Big East, I will continue to believe that we are looking to move elsewhere. And even if she does say that we are committed to the Big East, I won't be convinced. The same can be said of any individual University President or AD in this conference.

She is light years ahead of hogan. Absolutely light years. Young ( relatively) and dynamic.

 

[SAMCRO]

Did we just go all in? I think we just went all in. Come on river card!!!

 

[gars44]

As an aside, I think it's funny that we are all so starved for information that this thread had 10 responses within 5 minutes.

Laugh away then!!

LOL, are you the real Rumrunner ? I put my faith in Herbst !!!

Sarcastic or stopped drinking.

 

[gars44]

No one has to be "committed" to the BE for it to work. This is football. We just all need to get together and say, "look, we're in Triple A, the first one of us that gets called up to the league, good luck, hope to join you up there someday." That's all. No hard feelings. Let's just get some teams in and let's go.

AWESOME!!!! Two stories that are plagiarizing the same "leak" story from ESPN. IT MUST BE TRUE THEN!!!!

 

[NH Husky]

I'll bet it's in the works. UConn and Rutgers to the Big Ten. ACC gets picked apart and becomes the MACC.

 

[2Infinity]

Touche! RR appears to have a split personality! I'm starting to believe he's coming out with the insane remarks to get attention! But the "respect-o-meter" is sitting near zero. A lot like Al Davis indeed!! LOL

But does she have grace?
ELAINE (gushing): Yes! Grace!
LANDIS: Not many people have grace.
ELAINE: Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to think I have a little grace...not as much as Herbst -
LANDIS: You can't have "a little grace." You either have grace, or you...don't.

 

[SAMCRO]

Looks like a picked the wrong week to give up amphetamine's.

 

[ZooCougar]

We really need to wrap this up by next Tuesday. I have a huge project beginning then, and will probably only be able to dedicate 15% of my time to hitting F5.

SAMCRO,

So when do you think UConn will get the call to do the "patchover"?

 

[Rumrunner]

This isn't a plagiarized story. This is the ap writer. Plus it has new news about rutgers.

 

[epark88]

'Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue'...

Let me explain how the Associated Press works...

whether you are serious or not, and I expect not, I'd have to meet her in person and watch how she acts and reacts with people to make that determination.
