then there is this beauty from Dick Weiss with a Mike Brey quote:
Dick Weiss ‏@HoopsWeiss 3m3 minutes ago
nd on place in acc: "We will always be seen as stepchild." Mike Brey. Irish play UNC in semis today.@bluestar media1

HAH - almost word for word the same quote Jeff Jackson gave about the ND hockey team being in Hockey East. They must coordinate this stuff.

At least we're not the "red headed step-child".

Progress!!!!!!!

Mike Brey needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. For a guy who has never won the BIG one and always seems to spit the bit in the NCAA tournament he has a LOT to say. He had a LOT of to say ND's last season in the BE and he has a LOT to say now. For a guy who has never won the BIG one and always seems to spit the bit in the NCAA tournament he has always seems to be running his mouth. I can see why he and Chris Christie get along so well.

They will bolt if the Big XII doesn't expand and do the same. He wants the broader exposure as much or more than the money.

Right. But if the choice is a few suburban New York applications and 25M/year staying in the Big XII or applications from New Orleans, Atlanta and Nashville and 30-35M/year, which do you think they're going to choose?

Basically what I'm saying is that OU isn't meeting the goals you're stating just by adding UConn.

I think they'd chose a key tweet because this is the key tweet thread.

Why do you hate the key tweet thread? Are you an anarchist?

You are now officially an enemy of the key tweet thread. I am making a list.

What will you do with the list? I don't know if I want to be on such a list until I find out what the repercussions are.

Has Matt posted since asking his insolent question? Will he ever post again. Has he gone swimming with the Fishy?

This is an awesome game by future Big 12 members Cincinnati and UConn. 4OTs.

Brian Davis ‏@BDavisAAS · 17m17 minutes ago
ESPN's Mike Patrick: "We started this game 2 hours, 56 minutes ago. That's a football game in the Big 12." Subtle, huh?

Not a tweet but saw this story posted on the Cincy board:

Here's how Cincinnati's pitching itself as a Big 12 expansion candidate
http://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...nnati-big-12-conference-expansion-realignment

Note: The author says he requested documents from UConn for two months (Dec, 2015 and Jan, 2016) under FOI and was told that there were no documents.

Herbst and company are not that stupid. There will be no paper trail.

It is not Fishy's List that matters...it is Bowlsby's List.

Bowlsby is the football Schindler, handing passes out of football Krakow as the G5's are being herded towards the railway cars.

Wow. Thanks for trivializing one of the most horrific historical events of all time. Anxiously awaiting your CR analogy w/ other examples of ethnic cleansing around the globe, or the Atlantic triangular slave trade.

 

[billybud]

Yeah...I could ghost for Trump. He likes my style.

But the truth is what it is and the analogy stands...get a P5 pass or get stuck while the P5 tightens their grip on sports funding.

I am not a PC kind of guy....I understand the use of "ammo" and how folks play the PC card when they can.

On a sports board, I doubt that anyone really believes that the holocaust is being trivialized...no more than when one talks about something being "nuked".

I understand, and deplore, the use of conversational taboos in America....when a black football player states that the current college use of athletes is a furtherance of "the plantation"....I don't take umbrage at his trivialization of slavery, I understand his context.

I think you are confusing being "not a PC kind of guy" with plain ignorance. Carry on.
