I'm trying, I'm trying but these goshdarn powerball numbers never seem to hit.

NYUConn Stadium on Horsebarn Hill?

 

[UConnNick]

Heard from someone at KU today that BYU and UConn are being talked about most. Take it FWIW.

Maybe the B12 presidents are smarter than anybody thought?

Honestly I would donate money to swing the wrecking ball once at Arjona or Monteith.

I think I'm the only UConn grad who didn't mind "the twin towers." I lived in South so it was infinitely better to have an English class there as a first class than a math class in the math science building. I spent a lot of morning walking cross campus with a cup of coffee and omelette slapped between two pieces of toast.

From a convenience factor they were great. But they were antiquated and 10 degrees in the winter and 110 degrees in the spring/summer.

I remember thinking Burton was a jerk at the time, but boy did he end up vindicated

Pasqualoni was worse for UConn than probably even he imagined he'd be

Pasqualoni was horrific for UConn, but let's not pretend that Pasqualoni benching Burton's son at Syracuse isn't what triggered all of those problems. It had little to do with Pasqualoni's worthiness, especially since Burton's son was around during the Donovan McNabb era.

Bah, you youngsters always need to be coddled. It's too cold? Boo-hoo, throw on a coat.... and frankly, anything that promotes Spring time semi-nudity in coeds is to be lauded.

Not exactly. My thinking isn't that they're in. It's that if they knew they were out, Fertitta wouldn't be throwing down all this cash and grabbing every interview he could. That wouldn't mean they're in, just means they have a shot.

I think it's a safer assumption that nobody has a clue except 10 Presidents and a man named Bowlsby on which way this is going to shake out. Maybe Fox and ESPN have some influence but the Big12 has been very quiet and strategic in any leaks.

You Know....Bob graduated from my high school, Conard in W. Hartford. As great as the WH school system is considered to be, I'm pretty sure he is the most famous graduate of that school. (and no, there's nothing wrong with making millions of $$ selling furniture).

You're a Chieftain too??

 

[FDNY99]

I think you're looking at it backwards. you're assuming the $20M is because Houston is in. It might be that nobody knows anything as widely speculated and Fertitta is leveraging his wealth to make a statement and get houston some positive attention. in that case the timing is perfect. Uconn's announce of $90M in approved capital projects is a similar ploy I believe.

Burton has been somewhat quiet in this whole process.

That statement is VERY telling! We haven't heard 1 peep out of him.

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He's from Fairfield and went to McMahon in Norwalk.

Did Ken Ober go to Hall or Conard?

What about Mose Schrute?

I could have sworn he was from WeHa hmm. The guy from Dashboard Confessional definitely was.

So is wavy gravy.

I don't know what a Wavy Gravy is. It's too bad Ruslan went to Hall too I guess. He's pretty famous.

 

[jho]

Political pollster Frank Luntz went to Hall as well.

There's a 50/50 shot that i can make that happen when the day comes to fruition. You hold up your end of the bargain and ill do mine.

 

[UC313]

Actually its less than that. Probably 10%. Happy hour muscles.

 

[D/$$$]

I looked it up - Mose Schrute/Ken Tremendous/Michael Schur went to Hall too...

Our 40th reunion this oct (hall)

Wavy Gravy was the MC at Woodstock.

Mangenius, and my father-in-law.

I always thought Pete Dante was the most famous person to graduate from Conard!? He was in fact the QB in Waterboy and was in pretty much every other Sandler movie since then.......

Everything from TV, #Big12 members, and #BYU and #UCBearcats, pointing towards it's decided except divisions and Olympic sport schedules.

Let's get this going #Big12. I want my life back before the college football season gets going!! #BYU #Bearcats


MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9h9 hours ago
Per source: UH pulling every string and calling in every favor they can to stop B12 from inviting BYU instead of them.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9h9 hours ago
This is the main reason for delay. What they are telling the media is a totally different story.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9h9 hours ago
Very reminiscent of what Louisville did after WVU was already invited but not made public yet.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9h9 hours ago
UH. Fears that the big 12 will never take 13 and 14.

tephen Fowler ‏@Tigerstrat57 9h9 hours ago
@MH ver3 But I thought Houston had already negotiated their exit fees with the AAC?

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 8h8 hours ago
@Tigerstrat57 not what I said. UC is working on that though.

Stephen Fowler ‏@Tigerstrat57 8h8 hours ago
@MH ver3 All of the Houston folks say that is done. Everyone keeps overlooking one school that has their's already, lol.

Doug ‏@NebGradDubDub 9h9 hours ago
@MH ver3 there is no "instead" of them. UH, UC in, BYU likely

Nice!
