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

If there is no CR to talk about...might as well delete this board..eh?

You guys comment that I should know the 1999 UConn basketball players...and as always, I say that there are different strokes for us different folks..and different interests that even may vary regionally.

And Whaler, the added benefit is that you get irritated.

Have you said that? I must have missed it the first 500 times.

What I don't get it why you seem to get that but continue to post on a stroke that nobody else cares about. While lecturing us about the most obvious things in the world.
 
The conference realignment board was created in the context of UConn sports. It's common courtesy for a guest to have at least scant familiarity of their host.

For instance, if I were to frequent an FSU board, I'd study up on the penal code, (particularly s3xual assault and grand larceny of crab legs), and corrupt southern law enforcement agencies in communities of higher learning.

I sure do. Our HS regularly had to play against his team in HS. I think some of our players still have dents in their skulls from the ball where he rejected their layups. Dude could straight up play.

Edit- I see Billy is back to lecturing y'all Damn Yankees about what sports the good people of The Florida Panhandle prefer to discuss on a Florida State Board.Head bang

Spoiler- Its Football.

Yep...this isn't the UConn BB board.

And why should I study up on basketball when it comes to CR? Is there a connection?

Oh...don't go throw a hissy fit...it's a joke, I say, son, it's a joke.

Any jokes from a panhandle person mentioning family make me nervous

I guess this is a "CR Board", but the entirety of the Boneyard was born as a basketball board. Hell, UConn was 1AA in football then.

Not knowing Kemba Walker is just odd. I'm sure even our basketball board fans know that Jameis Winston played at FSU.

As I have said many times...never been a basketball guy.

Many of us Nole guys don't follow BB...we may know much more about football.

The Warchant premium football board has tens of thousands of followers, the basketball board is combined with the baseball board on the menu.

I am interested in CR...not UConn basketball...nor Duke or UNC basketball.


While 1999 was a magical year for UConn...

....it was also one for the Noles who went undefeated in 1999 and won the football NC. I am sure you guys are up on that great team...7 draftees, three first rounders, Lou Groza kicker, Heisman QB...And Corey Simon, consensus All American NG, Peter Warrick All American WR, Jason Whitaker All American.

We, in Tallahassee just have a different focus...and that's all right for both of us...

Who mentioned that should no anything about 1999
Your current BB coach ( you probably don't no his name ) was coaching a very good Miami team. That loss was one of only two losses we had that year I believe we were 34-2.
Miami was the 2 seed but lost in the second round of the East Regionals
I was at that game. Since I was wearing a Ct sweatshirt and Miami had no fans there.
The Miami cheerleaders appealed to Big East loyalty to enlist us to cheer for them.
In retrospect it's pretty sad. I just used Miami ,Big East ,and loyalty in the same sentence in a positive way.

If true, this is a neutral result for us. It's bad because it's a potential door out of the AAC that's closed, but it's also good because it would close the door for now on a very realistic situation where we're stuck in a weakened AAC minus one or more of Cincinnati, UH, UCF, or Memphis.

"Castiglione is one of two high-placed sources to tell CBS Sports Big 12 expansion is over. The other source, who preferred to remain anonymous, said expansion was dead regarding "those teams."

That's a reference to usual group of schools attached to the Big 12 that includes BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Colorado State, UConn, Houston and Memphis."

So they're still dreaming about FSU and Clemson.

Bob Bowlsby, Joe Castiglione offer divergent views on the topic of Big 12 expansion

From the article:

"On Tuesday, Big 12 Conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby told the Des Moines Register that a decision on expansion could be forthcoming within the next two weeks.

On Wednesday, University of Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione told CBS Sports that there is no timeline for Big 12 expansion and the topic was essentially dead.

Both Bowlsby and Castiglione are good people and great men and tremendous leaders and certainly captains of their industry.

But these two reports, less than 24 hours apart, illustrate precisely the kind of divergence that exists at the highest levels in the Big 12, and are a perfect example of why this league simply may not be fixable.

It may be just too much to ask the Big 12 to come to a consensus on something as important as expansion."

After 36 years in Bristol, John Wildhack is leaving ESPN to become Athletic Director of Syracuse, his alma mater. Full story coming in SBD.

So what does having a major ESPN exec as Syracuse AD mean for the ACC's strategy with ESPN? It certainly can't hurt the ACC's efforts.

Well, I guess Bowlsby was recently quoted as saying about 100 schools win 95% of the ncaa championships, which should keep us safe for a while when the P5 decides to whittle down Division 1.

It means Syracuse isn't a very desirable AD job.

I think they would rather wittle down the FBS than D-1 as a whole. The more teams in college basketball the better; the less teams in college football the better.
