Welp

I get it. She’s a nice looking woman, but she’s 54 years old. Who knows if her parts even work anymore.

There’s a wonderful thing called estrogen pills, patches and shots that keep women working. Especially, if they can afford the good stuff. Jen is fully open for business.

 

[JMick]

Well it was fun while it lasted

 

[huskidork]

man

 

[aburks41]

Lol. Well it was a fun couple of hours. Doomed again

 

[CL82]

I thought the Kansas trolls new story was we were going with the 3 Pac schools? Which was amended from his original story that we were 14 after Colorado? I’m not prepared for the amount of glazing this dude is gonna get if we do make it in.

Well, we will certainly miss you.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Every wanted to participate live in a billion dollar negotiation with 10+ parties? .we here we are...roller coaster here is epic.

If PAC schools are signing GOR today then we will know who is staying and who is going.

 

[ZooCougar]

Yeah, like when FCF is in bed with Jennifer Anniston he's worried about how far down the list he was when the day started.

Understandable that people here would take a UConn centric view of this. The Conferences are tectonic plates. We’re a tiny piece of the earth’s crust. I don’t know if the Big 12 is Anniston, maybe post rehab Britney Spears though.

 

[aburks41]

So uh @GoKU...?

 

[CL82]

Lol, at this point conference realignment mojo is pretty much treating us like a cat treats a caught mouse, having just a bit of fun before going in for the kill.

 

[ctchamps]

Killing the PAC 12 was the prize. We might be the consolation prize. Which would be great.

And we complain about other programs, conferences and the media that have undervalued us over the past two decades.

It’s one thing to believe that we can get screwed again. It’s a totally different situation where our fans continually make a case that we lack value as the reason for getting screwed.

 

[Khal Drogo]

If PAC schools are signing GOR today then we will know who is staying and who is going.

Oops I guess they’re not signing

I was following Angels vs. Seattle game last night.

Shohei Ohtani is having the greatest season in the MLB history. He was the starting pitcher and pitched 4 amazing scoreless innings before he had a hand cramp. This however, does not change Ohtani the hitter. The unicorn stepped to the plate and hit a MLB leading bomb #40 in the 8th to put the Angels up 3-1. The stadium went nuts.

In the 9th, Angels' normally reliable all star closer Carlos Esterez got the bases loaded, and gave up a grand slam to a rookie. Angels lost 5-3.

For many Angels fans, this loss felt like a massive kick in the nut after the ultimate high after Ohtani's HR. If we don't get into the B12, I am guessing that is the same feeling many of us will be feeling.

Not even close! One game? Regular season.
Game 7 World Series, maybe.
We’re talking about over a decade of frustration, relegation, and anticipatiin

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Exactly. The

Exactly. The Big 12 is not a monolith. I still think that if it were solely up to Yormark, we’d be in. But it isn’t.

The peak Rule #1 thing that could happen right now is for the Pac miraculously to stay mostly together… except for Arizona, and the Big 12 to quit at 14 after all.

One possibility (I know, I'm dreaming) is this will lead the B-12 to agree to add us as #14 then say to all PAC schools "we can stay at 14 or expand to 16. Decide among yourselves and if two of you want to join let us know".

 

[WestCoastHusky]

So uh @GoKU...?

Still gonna hold out hope it's either Colorado and UConn or Colorado, Arizona, Arizona state, and UConn.

 

[CL82]

So uh @GoKU...?

Lol, I love the fact that GoKU's rep vacillates between being Makers Muppet level and Nelson level depending upon each ebb and flow of realignment news.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

One possibility (I know, I'm dreaming) is this will lead the B-12 to agree to add us as #14 then say to all PAC schools "we can stay at 14 or expand to 16. Decide among yourselves and if two of you want to join let us know".

never happen, see rule 1

 

[huskidork]

UConn and realignment together don't mix too well at all I guess

 

[Hoophound]

All of this seems like BS. Inside scoops are coming and going every 20-30 minutes. Pretty sure there is a lot of uncertainty and the presidents are working this out in private.

 

[RegisteredUconn]

What happened to that? Why would they do that when they can raid the PAC 12?

They didn’t do that because the opportunity to kill a conference presented itself.

I get that suddenly there are a lot of cute chicks at the dance that weren't there before. I get that it would be crazy to ignore cute chicks. What I still think is basketball and north east. That's the stated direction. Yormark may have gotten side tracked for a moment but why would he abandon what he thinks is a solid plan? In my opinion, he won't. These PAC cuties are an opportunity that has to be addressed before somebody else scoops them up. But basketball and the north east is still the strategy.

Yormark is bold! Fortune favors the bold. There's no edict that the B12 has to stop at 14 or 16 or ... We're about to see just how bold Yormark is brave enough to be.

[WestCoastHusky]

I am pretty sure all the PAC-12 presidents are nervous as heck right now looking at all the options.

Imagine being presidents of Oregon State and Washington State right now.

 

[kemba]

So looks like this was all posturing by Oregon to try to get a better deal from the big ten

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Just want this to be over soon
