Non-Key Tweets

To recap, the Dude believes that B1G is not looking to expand but would consider Notre Dame or Texas. Pretty freaking amazing prediction Nostadamus.

I miss the days when this was the discussion:

Always so amusing seeing Dude trying to justify why WVU won't die in college football when everyone else knows that they will the second the Big 12 dies.
 
WVU football went from big fish in small pond to umm a little fish in big pond. Can't sleep not feeling very clever

WVU did the right thing. The only thing.

As the water was rapidly receding, trapping fish in tidal pools, they caught a last wave out to the sea.

Those trapped by the receding tide still thrash in the shallow pools while the waves crashing in the big water are so near.

Sure, they are swimming with bigger fish, but they are swimming.

I don't disagree that WVU acted in their own best interest. The move has had some problems, but it is better than not being a P5 team. Hypothetical, if WVU had stayed would they have gotten the last ACC spot instead of Louisville? I know they didn't have a lot of support, but I think they compare favorably to Louisville.

I don't think so. While WVU is good in basketball, they aren't on Louisville (or UConn's) level. Louisville was palatable to both the football factions and Tobacco Road.

No doubt. I'm just saying he's unrealistic about their place and doesn't get that while WVU football was a big deal in the Big East they are never going to be the premier team or one of the premier teams in the Big12.
 
It is tough to be good the decade after changing leagues....

...Miami was going to the "All Canes Conference"...yet haven't sniffed a division championship in the 13 years that they have been there.

...Nebraska hasn't won their division since moving to the Big Ten in 2004

....the jury is still out on Maryland and their potential to win their division.

....the jury took 4 minutes to return a verdict on Rutgers...will never win their division.

....Texas A&M has improved their record from the last years in Big 12...but no division championship.

Yup, and VT had a pretty easy transition too. Shoot, even BC was successful (playing in ACC CG's) their first few seasons... far better than they ever were in the OBE. Mizzou had more success in the SEC than they did in the B12.
 
Missouri wasn't expected to compete in the SEC in football. They won two division titles.

...BC did its best in the ACC with a future 9 year and counting NFL quarterback...Matt Ryan...who took his team to the Super Bowl last season.

Having an elite QB will push any team up.....

NC State has been dismal...but with Phillip Rivers (NFL QB) they won 11 games. Rivers is 14 years and counting in the NFL and has the fifth most starts in NFL history.

Thank you for the history and football lesson, Matt was being recruited prior to the 2003 season.

And BC was being recruited prior to the 2003 season. as well..LOL

But, it is about the QB in football. Surrounding cast is nice to have...but you have to have a QB.

For instance, UCF won 12 games with future NFL'r Bortles at QB...he left for the 2014 draft and by 2015, UCF is 0-12...

BC had Matt Ryan and then 20 years before that, Doug Flutie...maybe in another 20 years they will again win games with a good QB.

Traditionally,this would be correct.Could be correct in regards to Boren's replacement. Big Ten perception is Boren is lining it up for Joe.

Replying to @flugempire @RedhawkLand
If Boren is successful it indicates OU to B10.

If OU ends up in SEC, PAC or B12 it means OU said no to B10.

Not other way around.
Truth.

Setting aside the fact that it's a Flugar tweet, I'm not buying that Oklahoma is going to place their AD in the presidents spot just so they can get into the Big10. How would that look better to the Big10? Wouldn't a current Big10 provost look better?

It doesn't make much sense even for a nonsense BTM Post. For example, in what universe does OU say no to a B1G Invite unless it comes with an absurd amount of strings attached? OU has been working for decades to be viewed on the same level academically with the schools in The B1G but suddenly membership in that group would be rejected by its leadership? Seem legit. :rolleyes:
 
If the B1G takes Oklahoma, would expect Kansas to go along as their partner creating a stranglehold on the Midwest from MN down to the TX border.
 
OU putting their AD in as President screams "football factory." Watch that B1G "support" disappear if they do something like that.

They won with Glen Foley too. Played a bit, mostly Jets I think.

Wisconsin is already a very highly rated AAU school and a founding member of the Big10. They don't need to prove anything to the Big10. They are usually rated 3rd academically behind Northwestern and Michigan. They are anything but a football factory. Oklahoma is trying to improve their image and prestige as an academic institution. Hiring their AD as president doesn't do much to change the football factory perception.

The only way I can see this as a remote possibility is if he is there during the transition to the Big10 (if they get invited). He is highly respected within the Sooner community and highly thought of as an athletic administrator (Michigan inquired about hiring him before Warde Manuel was hired). That being said, I just don't see it.
