If this thing goes south, we need to 'unleash the Fishy.' Dodd would be close to the top of the list for throat punches.

Did you listen to near the end of the interview? (16:00). That's when Dodd really trashes UConn. He talks about Texas having to play UConn on Thursday night in 28 degree weather in front of 25,000 fans.

Yeah - it would probably get blow out ratings though. Usually they crush some ant called SW Oklahoma Tech and only Texas watches. Now they can blow out someone in the northeast on a game people in two time zones will watch.

The Rent would probably be sold out every time. Someone tweet him that.

Sounds like our Fiesta Bowl performance is being discussed.

This is the stuff I am talking about. Every CR cycle. 25,000 fans for Texas a complete and total lie. We had 42,000+ for Michigan and would sell out Texas in a heartbeat.

We never combat or push back on this stuff and than we wonder why we get left out. This is not some twitter user. This is CBS Sports senior football columnist on a radio show spewing this.
 
42K + for one of Michigan's worst teams in decades, no less.

Only reason we didn't hold on for the win is it was also one of our worst teams in decades. Thanks P!

Honestly though if the guy and others like him did a lick of research they'd know we'd sell out those games and that Texas would most likely be in the other division and almost never have to play at the rent.
 
I'm a little depressed now knowing it only gets cold in Connecticut on Thursday nights in November

I ask this: when has ANYONE (whether it be an actual reporter, analyst, blogger, twitnit, etc) EVER had information BEFORE a school was ANNOUNCED to be leaving/going to another conference? Has it ever occurred?

Tony Terzi, had Louisville to acc before news broke.
 
How long before it's announced are you talking? Because McMurphy has gotten it almost every time. Just it hasn't been days before the public announcement, which should be expected since nothing is final till the vote happens.

in what context did he report this? I like Tony (was actually on this show recently and I think he is a genuinely good guy) but I kinda doubt he had inside info given his role at WDRC. If he did post this before it was announced (would like to see proof of that) I guess it is possible he has a connection at the ACC or another affiliated party but I find it hard to believe that info was somehow leaked.

@whaler11 stated he got it from an ACC ref, but he had b4 anyone else.

mcmurphy does not count because he is used as a leak due to his employer (basically he is a modern day press release writer in 140 character chunks) giving him info to leak and get page hits. sigh. that said, and to your point, he would be the guy to watch as August unfolds.

He tweeted on Saturday they were moving away from UConn and towards Louisville and I'm pretty sure he got it from a ref connected to the ACC who was doing a Sacred Heart game. TT does the PA for SHU basketball... well at least back then he was I haven't been there in a while.
 
Didn't Syracuse and Pitt to ACC leak before the official announcement? I recall we were playing Iowa State that Friday night when the sh i t hit before the official press conference the next morning?

And Rutgers and Maryland rumblings before it was official as well.

News will break before it's official - it's inevitable especially with the Big 12. We just won't know for sure it's official initially.

How the heck did you enjoy sitting in SHU's gym? "Seats" are some of the worst I've ever experienced.

You have us, the Texas Longhorns, mixed up with Texas A&M. We're the guys who play Notre Dame and Cal out of conference. They're the ones who play Sam Houston St or Prairie View A&M.

Don't you think Tejas can use some good PR via women's bball program? Football will take care of itself. We almost landed the Patriots.

Hmmm, this name sounds familiar. Kasich. Kasich... where have I heard that name before?

Never has a conference announced they were open for business.
 
28k for Texas at the Rent is just a bold faced lie.

28k for maybe ECU coming off 4 straight losing seasons.

How about Houston and Memphis dream seasons the past year? Their attendance figures were around ours in our lowest point in program history.

If it ends up being BYU and Cincinnati it'll be a bitter pill to swallow, but at least understandable. Having us in the same breath as Houston and Memphis is a joke.

Really?
Big Ten Statement on Expansion
The COP/C believes that the timing is right for the conference to once again conduct a thorough evaluation of options for conference structure and expansion. As a result, the commissioner was asked to provide recommendations for consideration by the COP/C over the next 12 to 18 months.
