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

Isn't that Keith Rice from the Rice family who owns (owned?) WILI?

I'll answer my own question. Yes, it is.

He was a tool when I worked at WILI - it's not surprising that he still seems like a tool on his website. What's with the Bryan Jordan alter-ego? Bizarre.

I feel like I am on one of those pirate ship rides at the carnival. One minute I am thinking "of course UConn is ok, all is good." The next minute "holy crap Louisville is getting the bid and our main rival will now be Central!". It is nice to know there are other people out there like me who are enduring this trial. I have grown up rooting for UConn (I was 13 during the "Dream Season") and I was able to experience so many wonderful times with my father both watching games on TV and as a season ticket holder for football. How many of us have sat in the same position for minutes on end thinking it had some impact on the game? I know I did. Now I have a son who is 18 months old and all I want is to share the same experience with him that I did with my dad. UConn athletics is something that brought my father and I closer together and I want to share that same experience with my son. Hopefully all works out. BTW my last name is Storrs so I have definitely have a rooted interest in how this turns out.

Wasn't Mike Grant a Boneyarder for years?

And yes that's the same Mike Grant. I don't know if he ever recovered from Nebrich.

@Spherologue: @crazietalker FSU also requested a helicopter and nude photos of Bee Arthur.

Seems like this would make the most sense and provide the league with the most protection. Coach K was quoted as saying the ACC should have done more last time around by adding RU and UConn.

Add all three plus Grown or Nova....or all three plus Grown, Nova, and St. Johns.

And some day your son will be posting on the Yard.

Where did he say this? I was watching the Cincinnati/Oregon game last night and I didn't hear that.

No...
You already have nd with a different agenda. You really want to add a third with bb onlies?
That strategy worked well with the be. The acc already shows a rift between bb and FB and somehow that will get better by adding several bb only schools?

Beyond this, folks. Ratings do NOT matter to conferences. Total households in the market are all that matters.

He posted this after a discussion with Louisville fans about the TV ratings for the football game.

he's right, mostly. ratings don't directly equal money for a conference, it's the money from their own network/the network they sign with they charge per subscriber. the problem is, if the ratings are SO bad, that amount they can charge goes down. for uconn and louisville, that's probably not a meaningful difference.

Some Houston poster on the CSNbbs BE board posted that #14 is UConn, according to a "major network source." I asked him for clarification re: did the poster hear this or just repeating something found on the net?

He claims he personally heard this from a major network source. Good enough for me.

My source, who is vey close to Jimbo's family, says he has told FSU they cannot stay relevant in the ACC. Might he be about to fly?

Well. Bye bye Big East. Aresco cannot get half the conference to give commitment and this tv contract is falling to pieces.

MHver3 11:24am via Twitter for iPhone
4 Big East teams will be completely absent from today's meetings.

I doubt the last one completely. There's no way you burn that bridge unless you have an invite. I don't see 4 Big East schools having an invite.

You can get to that math if you count Pitt, SU, (UConn or Louisville) and Rutgers.

Pitt, Cuse, ND and RU. Damn, I wanted it to work for UConn too.

He might just be making excuses for a horrific performance on Saturday. couldn't have been his fault -- must be that an ACC team can't compete.

 

[ZooCougar]

Pitt, Cuse, ND and UConn

I think we almost said the same thing at the same time. But I think that supposes that MHver3 is actually tweeting something fact based.

 

[IMind]

I hadn't even thought of that. I really don't even think of ND, Cuse, and Pitt as Big East teams anymore. Of course if he means: Rutgers, Cuse, ND, and Pitt then it's not really news is it?

 

[gwhuskyfan]

MHver3 really has a lot today:

MHver3 ‏@MHver3
There is chatter that St Johns will ask for a vote to dissolve the conference.

MHver3 ‏@MHver3
Swofford is aware that the B10 has received 3 applications from ACC schools.

Pitt, Cuse, Rutgers & ND

LOL if that's all Swofford is aware of. It's more likely that each of his members has applied to the Big Ten three times.

 

[ctchamps]

Not killing the messenger as I appreciate any news on the situation.

That being said, those West Virginia whack jobs don't have a god damn clue as to what is going on.

'The Dude' 'Mhver3' 'eerlaw' - they are all full of .

They can't be full of . Too many of us are tuning into them. And I used to laugh at all the morons who kept attending Jimmy Swaggert's church!

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Someone tweeted back to him asking if it was UConn, UL, and Cincy not there. He wrote back and said both Cincy and UL were there. Didn't clarify about us.
