George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · 57m 57 minutes ago
Bowlsby says Big 12 will push to deregulate NCAA rule but doesn’t mean they’l have a title game. Says 1 year not big enough window.

George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · 57m 57 minutes ago

George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · 36m 36 minutes ago
Bowlsby said Big 12 athletic directors also spent time today discussing “multiple options” on tiebreakers. Expect some clarity tomorrow.

Bowlsby: I've heard no interest in expansion as a means to deal with the championship issue

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 32m 32 minutes ago
Total sidebar but if you're a fan of BYU-Cincy-Memphis-UConn-UCF Bowlsby was clear that expansion isn't happening. Big 12 very dug in at 10

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 31m 31 minutes ago
It seems to me any realignment at this point would have to be triggered by somebody poaching the Big 12. Which would cause lots of chaos.

This really is the best case scenario for us. We don't want the B12 to expand, the outcome will just be us in an even more horrible AAC.

We DO want the B12 to expand if it includes us though. It may really be the last train to Tuscon for the next 10 years.

This is good news, it means we can put off worrying about Cincy leaving us for B12 pastures for at least another year. The B12 won't pick us unless they're going full , i.e. a conference based in the southland with outposts in FL, UT, and the northeast. So, no.

I still don't think any ACC teams will leave for the B12, that window is closed. So either B1G raids ACC again and ACC back-fills with UConn, or B1G raids B12 and adds UConn to balance East/West. If UT/OU revisit the Pac16, then there's a risk B12 adds Cincy/UCF to backfill and Uconn is screwed again.

Yes totally fresh and unique. It's so nice a random person from Indiana decided to be active on the CR board and in the Cesspool. They are totally someone new and different.

I think you are overstating it (blush) but thank you very much. You are most kind and gracious.

Betting time - what's the over/under on the amount of time it takes for that act to wear thin?

I'll give it three days.

Here's why you'll lose Fishy:
  1. You may be confusing Domers with not just any Hoosier -- an "IU Hoosier". There's a difference.
  2. She's a she (who knows how to post on a message board)
  3. It's already been three days

BS ...I also enjoy your intuitive perceptive posts but I am a real gentleman though maybe with a touch of "player" in me...like most " good people" as we used to say growing up in NJ. I think Gretchen is VERY SHARP though.

A friend of mine who posts a little on the football board shared a novel idea with me the other day. He goes "I don't ever go on the CR board but I know you do and I wanna run idea for a thread by you. I had a great idea, what if we go Indy in football and rejoin the Big East?" I kinda went off on him about how this is not a unique idea at all and how it's been discussed ad naseum over here. I told him if thinks our schedule is bad now wait til we have to fill 12 games with mac cusa and sunbelt teams. He cited schedules from independent days playing teams like Miami Va Tech BC GA TECH Isu etc and he saw no reason we couldn't get those teams on the schedule now. Well number one, it is easy to play Miami and Be Tech when the game is set up by your league. He assumed we'd have no issue getting every Northeast P5 team on the schedule. Listing off teams like PSU (who we have never been able to schedule) and teams like RU BC Cuse Pitt (who have literally no incentive to play us ever). He retorted to my naysaying with P5 schools must play at least one G5 team as if we'd be that one team for 12 teams. He was surprised to here me say we would never get a PAC or SEC team to play in CT never mind after Halloween. It was eye opening and mind boggling that a season ticket holder and otherwise knowledgeable fan just didn't get it.

I think we are throwing what is in the pot against the wall. It's sliding down every time and stinking the place up something horrible.

You must be new.

Given that this is the internet, I promise you that two things are true...

1) Gretchen is dude.
2) Like most guys from New Jersey, you've now accidentally hit on a dude at least once in your life.

I wonder how Ray Davies would re-write this for the internet age?
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola​

She's a guy named Gretchen? d'Oh!

Well as long as he pretends she's a girl, you're still going to lose.

I don't know why a female can't come here without being mistreated. Dang shame she seemed like a great girl with sports knowledge!! No wonder i don't see many "any" females on these blogs. What a shame.

Without having to show their faces, most 20-ish male <sports> fanatics in the blogosphere are far from becoming true gentlemen. Testosterone rises.
 
This is exactly what people are talking about when they say the Internet is hostile towards women. Or maybe not, but it could be.
 
Women are hostile towards women. We're in a ****ed up world. Anyhow, welcome to our **** hole, Gretchen.
 
How did we sink to this...think about the woman in you're lives and families..she was a nice CR/sports fan with unique insights. I'm disappointed in even myself.
