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

Maybe he's just waiting for the fax to be sent over with the formal invitation. People still use fax machines, right? Right?

This feels like the time in the Michigan State game at MSG, when Verne said, "Three weeks ago we we were in Louisville, this UConn team lost by 30. Only the most loyal then could see this team going to the Final Four."

He’s smart enough to understand this is an emotional situation and not tease it like that. He’s only doing that if he’s holding pocket aces. Dave is no fool.

I tend to agree. Its a weird response otherwise.

Yes ... we could be wrong but if we think about it. If we are not in why would he troll his own fan base instead of flat-out saying it a professional manner like "we are committed to the Big East and look forward to what the future brings etc etc." without cryptic messaging? I could be taking it wrong but it looks like he is having fun

This is a positive, I don’t think Dave would be toying around if we were swinging in the wind.

Lol or he knows we're not going anywhere and he just straight up told us to stop

 

[CL82]

Hmmm...

Obviously telling people to stop whining about not wanting to leave the big east. It's happening whether they want it or not.

Probably.

 

[aburks41]

I just hope our administration doesn't release some sort of statement saying that we're committed to the Big East after we've been left behind again. Publicly acknowledging that we tried and failed - for the 4th? time - would be an embarrassment.

He’s having a laugh, he came back and said it’s just a sign. This is playful. It’s not the behavior of someone who just missed out on a massive payday. Color me naive or drinking the kool aid, but I feel better after the tweets than I did before them.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I've never felt so invested in the UConn Board of Trustees. Is it too much to ask for one measly emergency meeting scheduled for 10pm tonight?

 

[jostar1]

I'm trying to hold out hope, but this looks like the end.

Unless it means he's waiting for the Fax.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Dave tweeting an emoji is literally meaningless. He enjoys attention on twitter.

[XStorrsion]

Why?

why add Wyoming and New Mexico (or San Jose or Fresno) when you could just add the top 6 from the MW?

With our luck

Big 12 adds:
Arizona
Arizona St
Utah

Big 10 adds:
Oregon
Washington

Pac 12 remaining 4 gets to 16 by adding:
All of MW
Hawaii

Big West backfills with:
Sac St

Realignment shuts down again until the Big 3 conferences are ready to consume the ACC like they did the PAC.

Rule #1 of realignment destroys the UConn fanbase again.

I think this board is Bipolar!

 

[Vowelguy]

Maybe he means that things are stopped....for now.

Or, just maybe, he picked out the first sign he could find in his emojis.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

That's a terrible thing to say.......



about those suffering from bipolar disorder.

 

[ctchamps]

Of course not. He knew exactly what was asked and he wrote a plausibly deniable emoji.

Stakes are too important to do something like this. First Yormark, then Mora, then GoKU, then C9C9 and now AD Dave.

Those are pretty decent tea leaves.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I stfg if this is legit I'm gonna scream

This, like many “reports” on Twitter, appears to be opinion or speculation passed off as a report. People are underrating the fact that the commissioner of the Big 12 wants us. Also, Arizona and Arizona State seem redundant. Just invite us, Arizona, and Utah and call it a day. If those two like the Apple deal, then we are the perfect option for number 14.

The AD Dave Twitter responses are either the replies of a man who is with us (because he is confident) or the replies of a man who is drinking a bottle of scotch in his office because he knows we missed the most important boat of our lives. We just have to figure out which one it is.

Sure hope so. Otherwise it reeks of ry.

"F'ug it. You want a sign? I got a sign for you right here. Now, how about you asshats shut up and leave me alone! ... I need a drink.."

My guess is the former. If you follow ADDBs history, he is a bit of a front-runner. During the dark days of Kevin Ollie or Diaco/Edsall, AD David Benedict was no where to be seen and had no interaction with fans/media and went dark. But when UConn is running good , he is very engaged, out there for the fans/media, and interacting with the UConn Twitterati.

So my interpretation on this is that he is very confident in how this will end.

With that being said...so was Herbst/Manual as well. I had heard from an AD source at that time that we were 100% set and were as good as gold in the ACC. But we all know how that turned out!

Don't entirely dismiss that our silence on all of this doesn't indicate that we may soon be added to a conference that is also being silent.
