I figured El Dood had to come out of his shadows.


Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV
@jfowlerespn was told by the Big 12 the. Conference believes the Big Ten will raid the ACC in 2015-2016.

Aaron ‏@posas13 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @JFowlerESPN I guess that gives an indication of b10 targets: uva, unc, gatech...next nd su bc.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
@posas13 @JFowlerESPN Its all about NC, VA, GA & schools that fit the B1G profile.

Aaron ‏@posas13 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @JFowlerESPN I prefer VPI for B10 over uva ; Umich likely disagrees.

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 1h1 hour ago
@posas13 @theDudeofWV @JFowlerESPN I second and third that. VPI

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 45m45 minutes ago
hey @CitizenDrew! I know I can trust @Expansion_Crush. I sent him a screen shot of the email where the data you asked about was attached.

Team Crisci Racing ‏@TeamCrisciRacin 32m32 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV @Ruknighttime 1) why would they make schedules for up to 2019 if they were expanding 2) why go above 16 3) why not wait for ND


Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV
If that happens the Big 12 believes they can add FSU, Clemson, Louisville & possibly Miami or Pitt.

Hawkeye ‏@hawkeyeND 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV no way FSU and clemson want to be tied to the small big 12 footprint. Only the state of Texas is attractive for recruiting

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
@hawkeyeND Money. What is an ACC without UVa, UNC, VT or NCSt?

Hawkeye ‏@hawkeyeND 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV I understand it's about money, but sec much better option than big 12. Sec recruiting, more money, more regional alliances

Texas Roundball ‏@TexasRoundball 2h2 hours ago
@hawkeyeND @theDudeofWV Hawkeye you have common sense. These guys are trying to pump big12 and wv


ME: Leave it to a Texas resident to give a dose of reality.

By the way ESPN reporter @jfowler has heard the same I’ve heard about Big 12 expansion.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h 3 hours ago
I’ve told people privately the same but it’s nice to know that a respected reporter like @jfowlerespn has heard the same.

Anyone who thinks believes that Pitt is an expansion target is suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 10m10 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV @CitizenDrew After seeing what was sent I can say that there's not a better source on the matter outside of Delaney or Slive.

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 9m9 minutes ago
@CitizenDrew No doubt that @theDudeofWV Is one of the very few people outside the athletic Dept that has this sort of information.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 8m8 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @CitizenDrew I continue to be amazed at the contacts I’ve made. Strange.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 7m7 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @CitizenDrew Would you say both men are in a position to know?

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 7m7 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV without a question. @CitizenDrew

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 6m6 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV @CitizenDrew The two people that know the most is the one that pays the bills and the one that takes your money.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 6m6 minutes ago
@CitizenDrew I gave proof to @Expansion_Crush because I trust him. He has names & contact info including numbers. High level sources.

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 6m6 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV you hit it on the head with both @CitizenDrew

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 3m3 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV very high level contacts @CitizenDrew

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 2m2 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV @CitizenDrew I'm deleting the emails

Expansion Crush ‏@Expansion_Crush 2m2 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV @CitizenDrew I have no use for them. Pretty sweet to see that stuff though.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 2m2 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @CitizenDrew The problem is most of the info was provided as background info. I have to be careful about what I share.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1m1 minute ago
@Expansion_Crush too bad that @CitizenDrew blocked me.

hristopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 2m2 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @CitizenDrew Thanks. I’ve worked for 4 years on expansion. I have thousands of notes.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1m1 minute ago
@Expansion_Crush @CitizenDrew Despite what people think I source & verify. I try to make my opinion distinct from what sources tell me.

Powerful stuff. I reached out to my CR contact on it. Her silence is suspicious...

That's a blue field and a rose bowl. She's telling you Boise is headed to the PAC.

What a classic scam. Share your non-existent information with someone else who may or may not even be real and who verifies it. It's like the stage magician who brings up a "random stranger" from the audience and isn't part of the act.

I'm still waiting for his big reveal promised a few Wednesdays ago.

 

[SubbaBub]

Not sure it qualifies as a scam. A farce, sure, but it's too transparent to be considered a scam.

Expansion crush (Daniel Mountcastle) has posted here before. I forget his user name, but he seemed like a decent person. Not sure how he's tied into the West Virginia hillbilly crowd.

 

[Dooley]

Powerful stuff. I reached out to my CR contact on it. Her silence is suspicious...

Good stuff. I reached out to my source too. All he could say was "do you have a kleenex?"

 

[HuskyHawk]

They are all in the click-bait game. I'm sure he's not a WVU hillbilly, but then neither are we and we post WVDude's tweets here. The Twitterverse is almost entirely a mutual admiration society, where those who want retweets, retweet...and expect the favor to be returned.

Dood is chasing the dragon. Liked the attention and wants more.

I like twitter, but I find it strange place with people advocating for "follow back" or "retweet" as some badge of honor. I will say this, and whaler put me onto it, it is a great source of info and news if you just can get past the minutia.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 12m 12 minutes ago
I do not know what information @theDudeofWV has in regards to the Big Ten looking at raiding the ACC in 2015/16.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 10m 10 minutes ago
I do know Big Ten contacts have the perception that Delanys next addition will be in the East again. Contacts perception ACC GOR has teeth

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 9m 9 minutes ago
But the perception is the GOR teeth shortens as the money gap widens between ACC & Big Ten. My contacts believe things can happen in 2019/20

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 8m 8 minutes ago
I don't believe anything has changed. Reality is setting in on ACC & Big 12 on how they don't montize their current markets to full extent

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6m6 minutes ago
@flugempire Nothing has changed... just thinking what if to kill time to spring football. Based on chatter from B12 meetings.

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @theDudeofWV Ok..sorry about that. I thought you mentioned something about a possible explosion in 2015/16.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 6m 6 minutes ago
I will have a new expansion post tomorrow with my take on where things stand and why 2015 could explode again.

Did 2015 explode once already? I must have missed it.

 

[Kolumbo]

So is Conference Realignment And Pillaging going to come alive again or is this CRAP dead?

 

[Point6]

Good stuff. I reached out to my source too. All he could say was "do you have a kleenex?"

This may relate to the Boise rumor. I think he's telling you: snot happening.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Did 2015 explode once already? I must have missed it.

Sorry, that was me. Too much fiber.

Greg Flugaur
‏@flugempire @theDudeofWV Money gap widening + continue rising costs to play at highest level = 2019 explosion if not at least big ripple

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4h4 hours ago
@theDudeofWV ACC schools received consideration when they signed their GOR (received bump $)
ACC GOR is real.
B12 GOR is real.
However...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4h4 hours ago
@theDudeofWV ....the power of the BTN & SECN is real...and growing every year by leaps and bounds.
In 3/4 yrs GOR teeth shrink in size

@delawarenole @JFowlerESPN B1G rebuked FSU last year. Confirmed by Warchant.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 17h17 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @delawarenole @JFowlerESPN @Expansion_Crush This is true. Big Ten Presidents made it known to Delany not bring FSU up to vote

Seanbo Sengo ‏@SeanboSengo · 4h4 hours ago
@flugempire @theDudeofWV @delawarenole @JFowlerESPN @Expansion_Crush What's funny is that the B1G rejected FSU & then FSU goes out & wins NC

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4h4 hours ago
@SeanboSengo @theDudeofWV @delawarenole @JFowlerESPN @Expansion_Crush FSU does not fit the profile of a Big Ten research institution

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
@flugempire @SeanboSengo @delawarenole @JFowlerESPN @Expansion_Crush I've need watched a game for the research. Sorry... never...

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
@flugempire @SeanboSengo @delawarenole @JFowlerESPN @Expansion_Crush The B1G is gonna have to figure out that TV $ isn't for their eggheads.

Ok then

[MattMang23]

I love that these two loons have found each other.

I also love that FSU was so damn determined to get a football brand, torpedoed our entry to the ACC and then tried to go out and leave the league. Thanks, guys!

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 3h 3 hours ago

I also love that FSU was so damn determined to get a football brand, torpedoed our entry to the ACC and then tried to go out and leave the league. Thanks, guys!

Actually that is nonsense as usual from the Dude and the dude from St. Paul.

I called him on it when he originally said it and named his FSU source...I tweeted his source who tweeted that he was laughing at that suggestion...and then burned Chris by posting the tweets from his named source.

The truth is that the FSU BOT was not happy with the Tobacco Road cartel and their grip on the ACC, the perceived officiating and scheduling bias....and they wanted to get the conference's attention that basketball was not the only game in town.

Never talked to the Big 12 nor the Big 10....did have a back door discussion with friends in SEC.

 

[whaler11]

..did have a back door discussion with friends in SEC.

That would make them more lovers than friends IMO

 

[Seaa Blue]

To get to BIG's back door you would have to go through Canada. Long trip, especially this time of year.

The difference between idiocy and genius is that genius has a limit.

That's like the fourth time someone on this board has taken a statement right out of my year end performance reviews. I swear my manager feeds this board my performance bullets.
