Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Drove to Willi twice ever. Freshman year I went with a friend (who later went to ECSU) and two girls. Cops pulled us over. Told us to leave and not come back, because we were likely to get shot. Hence making only one more visit over the next 4 years.

Meh.. I lived at the Hale when I was at Eastern. We had friendly drug dealers and hookers.

Interesting that they'd vote no. I made it in, I'm not letting anyone else in, esp schools that were first to offer me a hand years ago when I was stuck in MWC.

Or because they know that an expansion vote of yes will include AT LEAST one more team from Texas (at minimum Houston).

Right now, TCU has positioned them selves nicely at the top of the pecking order in Texas. If Houston joins, that is just another threat to TCU (in terms of recruits, attention, fans, $, etc). And it isn't unreasonable to think that TCU will find a landing spot in one of the P5 leagues once the B12 explodes in the future (which we all know is going to happen at this point without expansion). So a no vote from TCU actually makes some sense for them.
 
What does the C stand for? The religious schools prove time and again that they are anything but.

Bohls: OSU’s Pickens disses Boren, Gundy; Formula 1 is banking...

>>1. T. Boone Pickens said he likes the current 10-team Big 12 configuration the way it is and would prefer adding Houston and SMU if the league grows, but that’s “probably unlikely.” The Oklahoma State benefactor said on our “On Second Thought” podcast that Oklahoma president David Boren has been wishy-washy about expansion and that “maybe it’s time for David to retire.” Some outlets reported Tuesday that the mercurial Boren is saying he’s decided against expansion, but Boren clarified his stance, saying “Oklahoma has not yet taken a position on expansion.” Pickens, who has given $500 million to his alma mater, said, “I’ve known David forever. He likes to talk. He gets a little bit confused sometimes.” Pickens said he and Cowboys coach Mike Gundy aren’t talking. “I don’t have any conversations with Gundy,” he said. Is there a rift? “I don’t know, but Mike doesn’t handle people relationships very well. And he gets mad about things. I’ve heard he’s written some notes about me that weren’t very complimentary.”<<

What a cluster...

I can't see Delany ever taking Texas into the B1G. However, a successor may go for Texas to make his own mark on the conference

Which, translated, is Delaney saying 'we aren't coming to them but we sure as hell would be thrilled if/when they come to us."

Delaney absolutely wants Texas. Believe me. He does. He's looking for one last power play before he retires and landing Texas would do just that.

Of course it's all speculation but I don't see JD ever taking the likes of a UT or ND. They're conference wreckers and this is his legacy. He's done quite well without headline grabbing, center pieces of the table. Plus he's got Rutgers.

He has been after ND for a very long time. He may get Texas. Time will tell.

I'm tempted to say, 'no, no that's not it.' But who am I to question Conspiracy Kitty. She has her paw on the pulse.
 
Whatever the "Majority of Utahns" oppose is invariably something one will or should want to do.

Tough call whether there's a state I'd less rather live in. (Confession: I enjoy drinking.)

I would've thought "Utahans."

Jamie Horowitz is sort of the Jeff Hathaway of television executives.

I am shocked to learn that Fox really hasn't been supportive of expansion. I thought for sure they were dying to cough up hundred of millions like I read here.

It's just odd...DB doesn't tweet that much...so you would think each tweet has some intent. What could possibly be the intent here? If I was Diaco....this would annoy me. But then again...Diaco isn't on twitter (which doesn't make sense)...so he will probably never know.
